Problems installing iAS6sp3 testdrive on w2k with iWS4.1
Hi,
I am on day 2 of installing iplanet 6 app server, I am not too
worried yet as I see it can take up to 3 days.
I have got around the DNS problem with the registry
(My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Tcpip\Parameters)
and got it to put some files on the hard disk. However there appears to
be no services registered and no entries in the start menu after
installation and reboot.
I am running
W2K sp2
iWS 4.1 sp3
iAS 6 sp3 testdrive
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Hi,
Please do not edit the registry. However I would like to help, but also
would like to see the errors thrown. Can you post them please ?
Regards
Raj

Shouldn't that be CurrentControlSet? ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 are
backups?

On unsuccessful installation, the Directory Server adds itself partially
and can cause troubles afterwards.
I would advise to do the installation from scratch and making sure the
directory has been completely removed before doing a new installation.
Please check the archive of this list for tips and instructions on how
to clean up broken installation and setting up your dns suffix before
installation.
Installation is very straightforward provided your network settings have
been carefully prepared and configured. Unfortunately, once you have a
failed installation, trying to recover from it and reinstalling is not
so straightforward.
