Webless Installation

Hi,

For a webless installation, you must not install the webconnector in the

iAS. I personally recomend you to use the custom installation for the best. On

solaris, when you select the option to install the iPlanet Application Server(I

think, Option 4), you should see a "web connector" option, which you must not

select.

Also, you must install the same (./setup of iAS) in the system where you

have installed iWS and install only the "web connector" option.

The common problem is that, you may not be able to view the iAS from iWS

system or vice versa. The solution is to check if both the systems are mapped in

the /etc/host file, a ping to the ip address or the fully qualified domain name

will help.

Please let me know if this helps.

Regards

Raj

I see a couple other people have already answered this, but let me add a couple of things:

First, detailed instructions for doing webless installs can be found in Appendix A of the install guide. But the previous posts are correct: just deselect components other than iPlanet Servers and then the webconnector on the detail screen. If you do this you will never be prompted for the webserver installation screen.

Second, the TestDrive installer does not support webless installs. I mention this because several people have posted this question before and it turns out that they were using the TestDrive version.
