Installing on Windows NT

The following sections describe the installation of the iPlanet Web Server.

Any errors that occur when the server starts are logged in the Event Viewer. Once
started, the server logs errors to the normal error log file.

Please keep the following warnings in mind:

•

If you have previous versions of Netscape or iPlanet web servers installed, you
must install your 4.x iPlanet Web Server in a different server root directory.

•

If you have an iPlanet Web Server 4.1, Enterprise Edition installed, you must
uninstall it before you can install the FastTrack Edition.

•

If you have previous versions of Netscape or iPlanet web servers installed,
shut down the Administration Server and Enterprise Server instances before
installing iPlanet Web Server 4.1.

•

If you install both Netscape Directory or Messaging Server and iPlanet Web
Server on the same machine, during the web server installation when you are
asked which version of libraries to install, always select those which have the
most recent release dates, except for

system32\libplc.dll
