Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.9 Installation and Migration Guide

Express Installation

Express installation enables you to quickly install the Web Server using the most common options and predefined defaults. Express installation is the default installation type and makes assumptions regarding host name, port numbers, and Java Development Kit (JDK) installation. If you select Express, you do not specify these settings during installation. Settings will be configured automatically using the defaults listed in the following table. Use Express installation if you are new to the Web Server or for evaluation purposes. Choose Custom installation if you want to customize your installation.
