Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Installation Guide

ProcedureTo Install the Load Balancing Plugin Component

  1. Check the system hosting the web server and load balancing plugin to see if a previously installed load balancing plugin or reverse proxy plugin is present. If it is, remove it using the uninstallation program.

  2. Verify that the supported web server is installed on the machines where you are going to install the load balancing plugin.

    Note –

    You must install the web server and the load balancing plugin using the same user account.

    See Web Servers in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 Standalone Installer Release Notes to identify currently supported web server versions. Some web servers require additional configuration to run with the Application Server load balancing plugin. For more information, see Chapter 4, Configuring Web Servers for Load Balancing, in Sun Java System Application Server Enterprise Edition 8.2 High Availability Administration Guide.

  3. On the installer's Component Selection page, select Load Balancing Plugin and No Administration Tools.

  4. Identify your web server and the web server instance path.

  5. If you are installing the load balancing plugin on Web Server 7.0, the installer displays the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 information page. Enter the following:

    • Web Server Administrator User - Name of the user who administers the web server.

    • Web Server Administrator Password - Password to access the Web Server administration server.

    • Web Server Host Name - Name of the web server host.

    • Web Server Administration Port - Port number to access the Web Server administration server. The default port is 8989.

    Note –

    • Ensure that you enter valid values for these fields related to Web Server 7.0 administration server. The installer does not validate these values.

    • After you install load balancing plugin on Windows for Sun Java Systems Web Server 7.0, you need to reboot the machine, so that the installer updates the system PATH environment variable to add the path to the plugin libraries.

    • You cannot perform a silent installation of the load balancing plugin on Web Server 7.0.

    The Installation Summary page is displayed indicating the installation status.

    Review the installation log files. For a list of these log files and their locations, see Installation Log Files.
