Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP10 Installation and Migration Guide

ProcedureTo extract the files

  1. Double-click the self-extracting .exe file to start the installer.

  2. When you launch the installer, it unpacks the files to your TEMP directory. Without exiting the installer, go to the TEMP directory and copy the installation files to another location.

  3. Once the files are copied, exit the installer.

    You now have a copy of setup.exe that you can use for creating the install.inf file.

    To use silent installation, follow these steps:

  4. From the command line, run setup with the -k option, which creates a file called install.inf that contains all your responses to the prompts of installer. At the command prompt, type:

    setup.exe -k

  5. Answer the installer prompts and install Sun Java System Web Server.

  6. When the server is installed, go to the server_root /setup directory, where you will find the install.inf file.

  7. Copy the install.inf file to the directory where you will run setup to install the Sun Java System Web Server.

  8. Edit the values in the install.inf file to match the values of the next server you want to install.

    For example, change the port number, installation directory.

  9. Run setup using the install.inf file for input. For example:

    setup.exe -s -f install.inf

  10. The server is installed.

    The following is an example of an install.inf file.
