3.2 System Requirements

Be sure your system meets the following requirements before you install Sun ONE Application Server 7 on your machine:

• A static IP address on your machine.
• Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4

  If you have not installed JDK 1.4 prior to installing Sun ONE Application Server, the installation program will silently install the appropriate files.

• Remove any Sun ONE Application Server and/or iPlanet Web Server installations using the uninstall program before installing Sun ONE Application Server. Web servers from other product vendors can coexist with Sun ONE Application Server 7.

3.3 Installation

You can install Sun ONE Application Server 7 using any of three methods:

• GUI-based

  Provides a set of graphical dialog boxes to interact with the user.

• Command Line

  Provides text-based interface to interact with the user. Command-line installation follows a pattern similar to GUI-based installation, but lacks some convenience features such as enabling the user to browse for directories.

• Silent

  Enables the user to install Sun ONE Application Server on multiple machines with similar configurations without running the interactive installation program on every machine.

  Using Silent Installation, the user first installs the server on a machine using GUI-based or command-line installation with an option to save input to a state file.

  Next, the user invokes the installation program on a target machine, providing it with the state file that might be modified to suit the environment of the target machine. The installer replicates the installation scenario on the target machine using information saved in the state file.

  Please see http://docs.sun.com/source/816-7145-10/index.html for detailed information.
