Installation, Upgrade, and Migration Notes

This section includes notes about installing, upgrading, and migrating your Sun Java System Web Server. For detailed information about these topics, review the information in the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP4 Installation and Migration Guide. References to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 in the guide also apply to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5. For known issues in this release of Sun Java System Web Server, see Known Issues in these release notes.

Installation

• Do not install Web Server into a directory with spaces in the name.

  It is very important to note that the Web Server will not start if it is installed into a directory with spaces in the name, for instance, Program Files. You will not receive an error message about this during installation, but following installation the server will not start.

• Web Server cannot be set up on RHLAS 3.0 without compat-libstdc++

Upgrade

When you install Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5 over an existing installation of Sun Java System Web Server, the installer automatically detects and carries out the upgrade.

If you have Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 SP1 installed, have the installer for 6.1 SP5 point to the 6.1 SP1 installed location and then upgrade.

If you have the Sun Java Enterprise System 1 installed on your system and you wish to upgrade the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1 that is part of Sun Java Enterprise System 1 to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5, refer to the Sun Java Enterprise System 2004Q2 Installation Guide.

Migration

Direct migration from a version of iPlanet^TM Web Server lower than 4.1 to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5 is not supported. You must first migrate your legacy server to iPlanet Web Server 4.1, and then to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5.

For detailed migration information, see Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP4 Installation and Migration Guide. This guide contains information about migrating from version 4.1 to 6.1 and from version 6.0 to 6.1. Again, references to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 in the guide also apply to Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP5.
