Trouble Installing Test Drive

It's technically possible to use the iAS without any web server

(communicating directly via CORBA) but this is seldom done and most

often folks use a web server.

You need to install the iPlanet Web Server before installing iAS. A

single iWS installation can run several web server instances - you just

need one. By default iWS will install an instance named

<installdirectory>/https-<servername>. e.g. if your host was named

"cheezwiz" then it might be:

/usr/local/netscape/server4/https-cheezwiz

This is the pathname that iAS wants. It intends to install the iPlanet

webconnector module (an NSAPI modules) into that server instance's

directory tree.

iAS well also need a directory server, but it will install it's own

iPlanet Directory Server if you don't have a directory previously

installed (no pre-installation needed).

Finally iAS will need a database. It's compatible with most of the

"usual suspects". If you have no database it comes with a database

called Pointbase. Pointbase is suitable for small demonstrations but is

not suitable for production under anything but the lightest loads.
