Here is one which I hve made for one training earlier:- Installation Steps for iPlanet web server
1. Pre-requisite JDK 1.2 or higher must be installed on your OS. 2. Start the installation by clicking on iws60sp2-nt.exe file. 3. Select installation type as Custom. 4. The default installation directory will be C:\iPlanet\Servers. If you want to change, you can but better to keep as it is, only drive should be changed as per hard disk space. 5. Specify username and password. It can be any, not necessarily of OS. 6. The default administration port is 8888. If you want you can change. 7. The default HTTP port is 80. If you want you can change. 8. The default Content Root is C:/iPlanet/Servers/docs. If you want you can change, but no need to change as Web applications seldom uses it. 9. Enable the Use custom java development kit check box. In JDK home text field write the JDK home directory path, e.g., C:\ j2sdk1.4.0. Do not specify anything in other text fields. 10. Now installation is complete. 11. To test installation, first start iPlanet administration from program menu or from services. Go to http://localhost:8888 to see the web server web administration interface. 12. Now start the web server either from the Web administration interface or services. Go to http://localhost, you will see iPlanetTM Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0. Configuration Steps of Web Application in iPlanet web server 1. Suppose IPLANET_HOME=C:\iPlanet\Servers and HOST_MACHINE=https-PUNHJW13014.ad.infosys.com for my installation. 2. Open <IPLANET_HOME>\<HOST_MACHINE>\config\web-apps.xml in notepad and add <web-app uri="/assignment" dir="C:/Assignment" enable="true"/> under <vs></vs> tag. 3. Create a directory C:/Assignment. Create a WEB-INF folder inside. Now create a classes folder inside WEB-INF folder. 4. Create web.xml file under WEB-INF folder. Here is an example of a web.xml file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name> StartupServlet </servlet-name> <servlet-class> in.co.infosys.treasurehunt.common.handler.StartupServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup> 2147483646 </load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name> RegisterServlet </servlet-name> <servlet-class> in.co.infosys.treasurehunt.hunt.handler.RegisterServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> RegisterServlet </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /Register </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file> index.html </welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> </web-app> 5. All the servlets needs to be registered in web.xml. 6. Following table explains the attributes used in web.xml. Web.xml attributes Description servlet-class Fully qualified name of Servlet class servlet-name Any name that you want for this Servlet, but it should be unique for this web application. url-pattern URL pattern to access this Servlet welcome-file First file which gets called when you will go to http://localhost/assignment. It cannot be a Servlet. load-on-startup Time in seconds after which the Servlet will get initialized again. If this attribute is specified with a Servlet it will always initialize when the server will start. It can be used to start some services as soon as the server starts. 7. Put all your java classes under classes folder which you have created above. 8. Keep all your JSPs, HTML, Images, etc outside WEB-INF folder. 9. Restart the web server. 10. To access your application go to http://localhost/assignment. -----Original Message----- From: Vijayanand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 5:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Regarding I-Planet Hi All, Iam very new to I-Planet.
