Before You Install

Before starting your installation, make sure you meet the following requirements:

• You are logged in as root.

• You have at least 250 MB of hard disk space available to extract the installation files.

• Your hardware and software meet the requirements listed in System Requirements.

• You know the language you want Sun Java System ASP to support. You can change the language after installation using the Sun Java System ASP Administration Console, as described in Managing the ASP Server > Configuring International Support in the product documentation.

• If you choose to customize settings for the Sun Java System ASP Administration Console, you must specify a user name and password for accessing the console. Be sure to specify a password that you can remember, or else plan to store the password in a secure location. You cannot access the Administration Console without providing this password. If you choose not to customize settings, the user name is set as ’admin’ and the password as ’root.’ To protect the security of your server, you should change these from the defaults as soon as possible, as described in Using the Administration Console > Configuring Usernames and Passwords.

• If you are upgrading from a previous version of the product, you must install Sun Java System ASP 4.0.3 in the same directory as your previous installation. Be sure to review Upgrading an Existing Installation for additional upgrade information.
