iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 Service Pack 4 Installation Guide



Chapter 4   Clean Installation


The instructions for performing a clean installation of the iPlanet Portal Server Service Pack 4 server and gateway components can be either of the following:

  • A new version of iPlanet Portal Server software can be installed on a server with no previous installation of iPlanet Portal Server software

  • A previous version of iPlanet Portal Server software is already installed, but will be completely removed and replaced with the new version

If the Samba software has been installed, performing a clean installation in which the previous installation is removed also removes the Samba software. The Samba software, along with other third-party software originally shipped with the iPlanet Portal Server product, is contained in a file called ThirdParty.tar.gz, which can be downloaded from the www.iplanet.com website. See "Appendix B" in the original iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 Installation Guide for instructions on installing the Samba software.

If the Rhino software has been installed, become root and use the following command to remove it. 
# cd /usr/java/jre/lib/ext
# rm js.jar



Open-portal Installation Using a Single Machine


In open-portal mode, the gateway, which provides encryption services and URL rewriting, is not required. For more information, see the section "Open Portal Mode" in Release Notes for iPlanet Portal Server 3.0: Service Pack 4.

To install the server component on a single machine:

  1. Back up the entire machine on which the iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 software resides, so that it can be restored if necessary.

  2. Stop all of the processes for the iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 server and gateway.


    Note See "Stopping the Server Component Processes" for information on how to correctly perform these functions.



    Note The following instructions assume that the installation directory is /opt.



Accessing the Install Script

To access the install script, after download, do the following:

  1. As root, change to the /opt/ips_sp4 directory.

  2. Run the ipsinstall script.

    The ipsinstall script must be run from the directory in which it exists.

    
    # cd /opt/ips_sp4
    # ./ipsinstall

The iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 Service Pack 4 install script will now run. See "The Service Pack 4 Install Script" for an example of the prompts during the install


The Service Pack 4 Install Script

  1. The installation script displays the Service Pack 4 license agreement.

    Enter yes to accept the license agreement and continue with the installation. If you enter no, the installation script exits.

For information on configuring multiple-instances of the iPlanet Portal Server product on a single server machine, see the section "Configuring Multiple Instances of iPlanet Portal Server" in Release Notes for iPlanet Portal Server 3.0: Service Pack 4.



Secure Portal Installation Using Multiple Servers


In secure mode, the gateway, which provides encryption services and URL rewriting, is required. For instructions on installing the gateway component, see "Gateway Component Installation."


Note If installing the server component on multiple machines, designate only one machine as the primary server, and configure the other servers to reference that machine as the primary server.


To install the server component:

  1. For each machine, back up the entire machine on which the iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 software resides, so that it can be restored if necessary.

  2. Stop all services for the iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 server and gateway.


    Note
    See "Stopping the Server Component Processes" for information on how to correctly perform these functions.



Accessing the Install Script

  1. As root, change directories to /opt/ips_sp4.

  2. Run the ipsinstall script.

    The ipsinstall script must be run from the directory in which it exists.

    
    # cd /opt/ips_sp4
    # ./ipsinstall

The iPlanet Portal Server 3.0 Service Pack 4 install script will now run. See "The Service Pack 4 Install Script" for an example of the prompts required to install this software.

  8. Choose y for a multiple server installation.

    
    Is this a multiple server install? y/[n] y

  9. Choose whether you want the local computer to be the primary server.

    
    Should the local machine be the primary server? [y]/n


    Note If your Service Pack 4 environment includes servers installed on multiple machines, install the primary server on only one of the machines; configure all other server components to reference that machine as the primary server.


    • Enter y to make the local computer the primary server. If you have not already installed the primary server on another computer, you can choose y to make the local computer the primary server. Go to Step 11.

    • Enter n if you have already installed the primary server on another computer. Continue with Step 10.

    If the local machine is not the primary server, the installation script asks for information about the primary server.

  10. Enter the primary server information. If the machine on which you are installing uses multiple IP addresses or multiple domains, verify that the IP address displayed by the script is the correct one for the iPlanet Portal Server component.

    
    On what hostname will the primary server run? [MyServer] server1
    What is the sub-domain name for server1("." for none)? []

  13. Accept the default root user name or enter the correct name for the root user.

    
    What is the user for the profile role tree? [root]

  14. Accept the default directory server port number or enter an available number for the directory server port.

    
    On what port will the directory server run? [389]

    • If the local machine is not the primary server, go to Step 21.

    • If the local machine is the primary server, the script asks the following questions about the server components in the Service Pack 4 installation environment. Continue with Step 15.

  15. Enter the server component information for the server components.

    
    On what hostname will the server run ("." when done)? [MyServer] server2
    What is the sub-domain name for server2 ("." for none)? []

    On what port server2 run? [8080]
    What is the ip address of server2.sesta.com? [192.168.01.02]
    On what hostname will the next server run ("." when done)? [MyServer] .

    If the local computer is the primary server and you specified multiple server components, the script repeats the set of questions until you have specified information for all the desired server components. If the machine on which you are installing uses multiple IP addresses or multiple domains, verify that the IP address displayed by the script is the correct one for the iPlanet Portal Server component.

    The script repeats the set of questions, allowing you to enter name and IP address information for each server component in a multiple server environment. Enter a "." after you have finished adding the information for all the server components.

  16. Accept the default port number or enter the correct port number for the gateway or gateways.

    What is the domain name for gateway? [sesta.com]
    What is the ip address of gateway.sesta.com? [192.168.01.03]


    Note If you chose a multiple gateway installation in Step 17, the script repeats the set of questions so that host and domain information can be entered for each gateway. Enter a "." when you are finished entering the information for all the gateways.


  19. Choose whether the gateway should use a web proxy.

    
    Should the gateway(s) use a web proxy? y/[n]

    • If you choose n, go to Step 22.

    • If you choose y, the installation script asks the following set of questions about the web proxy. Continue with Step 20.

  20. Enter the information for the web proxy. Go to Step 22.

    
    On what hostname will the web proxy run? [gateway] proxy
    What is the sub-domain name for proxy ("." for none)? []
    What is the domain name for proxy? [sesta.com]
    On what port will proxy run? [8080] web_proxy_port_number
    What is the ip address of proxy.sesta.com? [192.168.01.04]

    Note This passphrase needs to be the same for each component.


  23. Enter and verify the passphrase.

    
    What is the passphrase (8 chars minimum) :
    Re-enter passphrase :

  24. Choose whether you want the script to start the server after the installation is complete.
