Installing From the Web Site

This section provides instructions for downloading the Proxy Server installation files from the web site.

UNIX

Steps for installing Proxy Server on UNIX

1. Download the installation file from http://www.sun.com/download and save it in a temporary directory in your Solaris SPARC, x86, or Linux system. The installation file is in the format:

   sun-web-proxy-server-4.0-platform.tar.gz

2. Change to the directory on your UNIX system where you copied the file. For example:

   cd /tmp/Sunproxyinstallable

3. Unzip the .gz file by using the gunzip command in this format:

   gunzip filename.tar.gz

4. Untar the unzipped file using the tar -xvf command in this format:

   tar -xvf filename.tar

   This command unpacks the server files and creates a temporary directory structure under the current directory. Unpacking the file may take a little time. When the files are unpacked, you will see a /ProxyServer directory and the following files:

   • 3RD-PARTY-LICENSE.txt

     • LICENSE.txt

     • README.txt

     • setup

       You can run the setup program in the GUI, CLI, or silent mode.
