The Setup Program
The Netscape Server Products Setup program is for installing Netscape servers all
at once or one at a time. Use the Setup program each time you need to do any of the
following:
• Install a new server or server component
• Install Netscape Console as a stand-alone application
• Update a server
Installing a New Server
This section provides an overview of installation dependencies and options
common to all Netscape servers.
Directory Server Must Be Installed First
In order to install Netscape software, you must first set up Directory Server. When
you do this, you create a user ID and password for the Configuration
Administrator. During a typical installation, the Setup program checks this user ID
and password against the installed directory. If the values do not match,
authentication fails, and you can’t complete the installation.
For detailed information on installing the Directory Server, see the server’s
documentation.
When you install a Directory Server for the first time, Netscape Administration
Server and Console are automatically installed for you.
Administration Server Is Required in Each Server Root
Every Netscape server root must contain an instance of Administration Server. If
you are installing a server into a new folder, the Setup program will automatically
install Administration Server for you.
NOTE Installing or upgrading Console on Windows NT requires
rebooting the machine at the end of the install process. The option
to reboot is offered at the end of the setup program. If you choose
not to reboot at the end of the install process you must remember to
reboot later, before you use Console.
