Before You Begin

It is important to review the topics in this section before proceeding with the Update 6 installation.

• System Requirements

• Installation Directories

• Platform-Specific Path Separators

System Requirements

Web Space Server 10.0 software must be installed and running as described in the Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0 Installation Guide prior to installing 10.0 Update 6. Note that the requirements listed in Software and Hardware Requirements also apply to the 10.0 Update 6 components.

Installation Directories

The directories in which Web Space Server and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Software are placed may vary, so throughout these installation instructions, the root Web Space Server installation directory is referred to as ws_install_dir, and the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server root directory is referred to as as_install_dir.

Platform-Specific Path Separators

The instructions and examples in this document use UNIX-style forward slash (/) path separators in file and command names. If Web Space Server and Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server are installed on a Windows system, be sure to use backslashes (\) instead of forward slashes; for example:

• UNIX systems or Linux systems — as_install_dir/bin/asadmin

• Windows systems — as_install_dir\bin\asadmin
