Note:
JDK 7 is packaged with Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.18, for all the operating systems that are listed in the supported platforms spreadsheet, except HP-UX and AIX.
System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an operating system hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Oracle tests its products on selected system virtualization and operating system combinations to help validate that Oracle products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems.
For information about support for Oracle products in virtualized environments, see:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/oracleas-supported-virtualization-089265.html
Update your operating system with the latest applicable patches. Required patches are listed in the following sections.
x86 or SPARC users of Solaris 10 should have the latest patch cluster installed. The patch cluster is available on the My Oracle Support site at:
Note:
On a 32-bit Solaris (SPARC) platform, install SUNWlibC
and SUNWlibCx
packages, in addition to the patches listed in this section.
The Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 installer determines whether the required patches are installed on your system; without them, the installation fails. The following patches are required for successful installation and functioning of Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 on a supported platform.
Note:
If the patches available at http://support.oracle.com
are obsolete, download the most recent version of these patches because they include the latest bug fixes and product enhancements.
Note:
To know the Solaris version installed on your system, see the /etc/release
file.
The /etc/release
file contains Solaris version information in the following format:
Solaris 10 6/06 s10x_u2wos_08 X86 Copyright 2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Assembled 02 May 2006

This section includes notes about installing, migrating, and upgrading Web Server. For detailed information about these topics, review the information in Oracle iPlanet Web Server Installation and Migration Guide.
For known issues as of Oracle iPlanet Web Server Release 7.0.27, see Known Issues.
You cannot install Web Server to a directory that contains an earlier major version of Web Server. You can, however, migrate the existing installation after installing Web Server to a new directory.
Web Server can be installed as part of Java Enterprise System or as a standalone version.
In a standalone installation, all the necessary shared components such as NSS and NSPR are packaged with the Web Server installation files.
Java ES patches for Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 were provided up to release 7.0.12. The information in this section is applicable only to release 7.0.12 and earlier releases.
If you are installing Oracle iPlanet Web Server as part of the Java ES suite, the Java ES installer installs all the shared components such as NSS and NSPR as separate packages and Web Server specific binaries as separate OS-dependent packages.
Download and install the latest Java ES component patches for your operating system from http://support.oracle.com
.
Note:
Oracle iPlanet Web Server will not start successfully without installing the latest NSS and NSPR patches on your system. Therefore, before installing the latest update of Oracle iPlanet Web Server, look in the patch README for the appropriate NSS patch available for your system.
Web Server 6.0 and 6.1 configurations can be migrated. Direct migration from a Web Server release earlier than 6.0 is not supported. Earlier releases such as Web Server 4.0 must first be migrated to Web Server 6.1, then to Web Server 7.0. For information about migrating from Web Server 4.0 or later to Web Server 6.1, see Sun Java System Web Server Installation and Migration Guide and Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Release Notes at:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19857-01/index.html
For more information about migrating from Web Server 4.1 to Web Server 7.0, and from all versions of Web Server 6.0 to Web Server 7.0, see Oracle iPlanet Web Server Installation and Migration Guide.
When you install the latest update of Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 over an existing 7.0 installation, the installer automatically performs the upgrade.
If Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 is already installed, point the installer (pertaining to the latest update) to the location of the existing 7.0 installation, and then upgrade.
For more information about upgrading from Web Server 7.0 to Web Server 7.0 Update 5, see Oracle iPlanet Web Server Installation and Migration Guide.
Compatibility Issues
Web Server 7.0 supports JavaServer Faces 1.2 technology. Most JavaServer Faces 1.1 applications are expected to work with Web Server 7.0 without any modifications. However, there are some compatibility issues that might be encountered when migrating applications to JavaServer Faces 1.2 applications and such applications require modifications.
The changes are documented in the JavaServer Faces release notes at:
https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/rlnotes/1.2_04/issues.html
Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 provided with Java ES 5 is not compatible with Web Server 7.0 Update 1. If you have deployed Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 along with Web Server 7.0, you need to upgrade both servers rather than only Web Server 7.0.
The required Sun Java System Portal Server 7.1 upgrade is available with Java ES 5 Update 1 or with the following patches at:
124301 (SPARC)
124302 (x86)
124303 (Linux)
If you are using a localized version of Web Server, install the following Portal Server localization patches:
125301 (Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 localization)
125302 (Linux localization)
