The procedure is very simple: you install Sun Web Server first and Sun ASP Server second. ASP Server install will automatically finds Sun Web Server installation binaries and binds to it. No manual changes required.

Dear Experts:

My effort to install ASP 4.0.2 or 4.0.1 has been very bumpy.

OS: XP Pro SP2

First, I installed the Sun Web Server 7.0 preview. Then when I tried to install ASP 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, the installation cannot find the web server even though I made sure the server is off.

2nd, I uninstalled the Web Server 7.0 preview and then installed the entire Sun Java Enterprise System. Per the summary 10-2-2006 18-21-28.txt file generated during the installation, the web server component is Sun Java System Web Server 6.1. ASP 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 still cannot find the installed web server.

3rd, I thought perhaps the Web Server 6.1 came with the Enterprise System did not have the right service pack. So I tried to install Web Server 6.1 SP6. However, this time I was told there existed another Sun ONE web server and the installation cannot continue. I then tried to uninstall the existing web server from the Control Panel add & remove programs untitiy. Unfortunately, the installed web server is a mandatory component of the Enterprise System and cannot be individually uninstalled.

I have read several other threads on ASP unable to find installed Apache web servers, but none of them mention Sun Java Web Server. So what should I do now? I know I can uninstall the entire Enterprise System and then install Web Server 6.1 SP6, but I am not sure if this is really what the problem is. The system requirement for ASP 4.0.1 or 2 after all is Web Server 6.x.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Alex

Dear All:

Here is what I have done since my last post.

Machine 1 (XP SP1):

I uninstalled the entire Enterprise System 4.0 (which contains Sun Java System Web Server 6.1SP5 B01/15/2006 23:04).

Then I installed the standalone Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B08/17/2005 10:21.

Guess what? ASP 4.0.2 would now detect the standalone web server 6.1SP5!

This is really unexpected since both web servers are 6.1SP5 except a name change from "Sun ONE" to "Sun Java System " and the build date is a little different. You would think the different time stamps due to someone checking it out of the source control at a later date when the name is changed.

Machine 2 (XP SP2):

Since I wasn't so convinced at this point that the two 6.1SP5 were indeed different, I uninstalled everything from the Enterprise System EXCEPT the web server just to make sure it was not other components interfering with the web server. Guess what? No luck. ASP installer still cannot find the web server. I went ahead to uninstall this web server of the Enterprise System and then installed a standalone Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP6 B05/07/2006 21:09.

Now ASP 4.0.2 CAN recognize this web server!

So in summary here is my observation:

Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B08/17/2005 10:21 - works with ASP 4.0.2

Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP6 B05/07/2006 21:09 - works with ASP 4.0.2

Sun Java System Web Server 6.1SP5 B01/15/2006 23:04 (of

Enterprise System 4.0) - does NOT work with ASP 4.0.2

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Technology Preview - does NOT work with ASP 4.0.2

I hope this helps those who are pulling their hair out after being led by Sun's product literature that web server 6.x would work with ASP 4.0.2

Good day!

Alex

Thank you for sharing your experience. Web Server 7.0 is not supported with ASP Server 4.0.X, the next version 4.0.3 is going to have support of web server 7.0.

Web Server 6.0 and 6.1, regardless of the way you install them, should work fine with asp server 4.0.2.

I'll have a look at the reason why web server 6.1sp5 that comes with JES4 wouldn't be recognized by asp server install.
