Installing Server Components and Extensions for Solaris

---

Before installing the server components and extensions for Solaris, you should complete the following requirements:

Verify that your server has sufficient disk space and memory available.
Verify that the machine has DNS working correctly with a valid IP address and host name.
If you want to install the HTTP Gateway, make sure a second IP address is configured.
Verify, you have root access to install the server. If you are not logged in as root, you can switch to root using the following command: su-root.

You also need to enter the superuser password for the machine. If you do not have the correct password you will not be able to install the server correctly. Contact the administrator or owner of the machine before proceeding.

Verify you have iPlanet (only Server Core is necessary) installed on your server.
Verify you have JRE 1.2.1 or above installed on your server.

NOTE:  The default installation requires that the Distance Learning server be manually started each time by executing the S98ptk script. You can configure the server to automatically execute the script at startup by copying it to the directory
/etc/rc2.d. The Distance Learning server is started each time the machine is booted.
