Sun Cluster 2.2 Software Installation Guide

8.4.1 How to Install Netscape Web or HTTP Server

This procedure shows the user interaction with the ns-setup command. Only the sections that are specific to Sun Cluster HA for Netscape HTTP are shown here. For the other sections, choose or change the default value as appropriate.

  1. Run the ns-setup command from the Netscape Commerce install directory on the CD.

    From the Netscape Commerce distribution location on the CD, run the ns-setup command.

    phys-hahost1# cd /cdrom/commerce/solaris/us/https/install
phys-hahost1# ./ns-setup
    Note -

    The Netscape directory on the CD might be different from that shown in the example. Check your Netscape documentation for the actual location.

    After the licensing agreement you see:

    Netscape Communications Corporation
 Netscape SuiteSpot Server Installation
 ---------------------------------------------------------------

 This program will extract the server files from the distribution
 media and install them into a directory you specify. This 
 directory is called the server root and will contain the server 
 programs, the Administration Server, and the server configuration 
 files.

 Server root [/usr/netscape/suitespot]:
 To accept the default in brackets, press return.

  2. Enter the logical host name for the Netscape Web Server and the appropriate DNS domain name.

    A full name is of type hostname.domainname, such as hahost1.sun.com. You can enter any directory name you might have created for the data service here as well.

    Note -

    You must use the logical host name rather than the physical host name here and everywhere else you are asked, for Sun Cluster HA for Netscape HTTP to fail over correctly.

    For example:

    Machine's name [phys-hahost1]:hahost1

    Follow the screen instructions (in most cases you may want to accept the default choices) for the server installation.

  3. Enter the Server Administrator ID and password when asked.

    Follow the guidelines for your system.

    Note -

    The default administration port is not the port where the data services will listen on, so it is an acceptable default. You will however, want to make note of the port number for future use.

    When the following message appears, your installation is ready for configuration: 

    Your parameters are now entered into the Administration Server
 configuration files, and the Administration Server will be
 started.

 Writing configuration files ...

  4. Bring up the Netscape browser.

    Web browser [netscape]:

    The Netscape browser appears.

  5. Enter the URL of the logical host where the server is installed.

    For example:

    logicalhostname:admin_port_#

    Enter the proper user ID and password when prompted.

    You see the page with the logical host name you assigned and the Administration port number.

  6. Enter the proper user ID and password when prompted.

    You see the page with the logical host name you assigned and the Administration port number.

  7. Click Create New Netscape Enterprise Server 3.5.1.

    This should be the second link from the bottom of the page. You should see another page load.

  8. Click OK from the bottom of the following page.

    You see the Success page with the name of the new server and associated port number.

  9. Run the hadsconfig command from the physical host:

    [phys-hahost1]: hadsconfig

  10. Enter the number for the nshttp menu item at the prompt.

    Your choices may vary depending on the services installed.

  11. Enter the number for the Create a new instance item at the prompt.

    You see something similar to the following:

    Name of the instance [?]
 Logical host [?]
 Base directory of product installation [?]
 Server Port Number [?]
 Time between probes (sec) [60]  [?]
 Time out value for the probe (sec) 60]  [?]
 Take over flag [y]  [?]

  12. Enter a name for the instance.

  13. Enter your logical hostname.

  14. Enter the location to your logical host for the Base directory location.

    This is the location of the start and stop scripts. For example, /netscape-1/vol01/nshttps/hahost1. You may have created other directories between the logical host and service directories.

  15. Enter the server port number you want the server to listen on.

  16. Either accept or change the defaults here by entering the appropriate information.

    You can change the defaults now, if necessary. After you finish, a confirmation appears.

  17. Add this instance.

    You see instance added to workfile.

  18. Enter the menu item number to go to the Main Menu.

    You see Configuration has changed in workfile.

  19. Update the configuration from the workfile.

  20. Enter the appropriate information when you see the checking node status... message.

  21. Enter the Quit menu item number.

    Return to the root prompt of your physical host.

  22. Register and activate the service by using the hareg(1M) command.

    Run the hareg(1M) command on only one host.

    If the service is not yet registered, use the hareg(1M) command to register it. To register the service only on the logical host, include the -h option and logical host name:

    # hareg -s -r nshttp [-h logicalhost]

    If the cluster is running already, use the hareg(1M) command to activate the service: 

    # hareg -y nshttp

  23. Confirm your HTTP server operation by making a telnet connection to your logical host where the service is listening.

    For example:

    # telnet logicalhost port#

    After you have confirmed the server's operation, your installation is complete.
