Installing and Configuring Oracle iPlanet Web Server Software

Language:

This section describes the steps to perform the following tasks:

Install the Oracle iPlanet Web Server software.
Enable the Oracle iPlanet Web Server software to run as HA for Oracle iPlanet Web Server.

Note - You must follow certain conventions when you configure URL mappings for the Web server. For example, to preserve availability when setting the CGI directory, you must locate the mapped directories on the cluster file system. In this example, you map your CGI directory to /global/pathname/cgi-bin.

In situations where the CGI programs access “back-end” servers, such as an RDBMS, ensure that the Oracle Solaris Cluster software also controls the “back-end” server. If the server is an RDBMS that the Oracle Solaris Cluster software supports, use one of the highly available RDBMS packages. Alternatively, you can use the APIs documented in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Developer’s Guide to put the server under Oracle Solaris Cluster control.
