215.0. "IPS Netscape Comm.Serv. system error during installation." by PRIVAT::ANCA () Tue May 06 1997 05:31

	Hello everybody,

	I have installed from the "Internet Product Suite - CD "
	the Netscape Communication Server .

	The operating System is an OpenVMS AXP v6.2.

	I execute the procedure ns-setup.com without problems .

--->>>	Netscape HTTP Server for OpenVMS
	Version 1.12
	
	There are two phases when installing/upgrading the Netscape Server
	on OpenVMS:

      - Phase 1 involves setting up and/or checking the correct environment
        on the OpenVMS system or cluster, in preparation for running the
        standard Netscape Server installation/upgrade procedure.

      - Phase 2 is the standard Netscape Server installation/upgrade
        procedure. You need to interact with it via a Web Browser such
        as the Netscape Navigator.

    If you are installing/upgrading on an OpenVMS Cluster you must run
    Phase 1 for each system disk in the cluster and Phase 2 once for each
    hardware platform (VAX or Alpha).

    You are running Phase 1 now. At the end you will be asked if you want
    to invoke Phase 2.
	
    It is strongly recommended that this procedure be run from
    the SYSTEM account. Execution of the procedure will continue...

    This product requires the NS-COMMUNICATIONS license. 
    Do you have that license loaded [N]: y

  Copying NETSCAPE CRTL image to SYS$LIBRARY...

  You will now be prompted for the server port number, server directory and
  server account. If installing/upgrading on an OpenVMS Cluster, you MUST
  answer these questions the same for each instance of the server in the
  OpenVMS Cluster.

  For an install, enter the port number that this Netscape Server will use.
  The default for the COMMUNICATIONS server is 80.

  For an upgrade, enter the existing port number in use by the server.

  Enter port [80]:

  Enter the location (device and directory) in which you want the Netscape
  Server files installed. If this is an upgrade, enter the existing Netscape
  server root directory.
 In an OpenVMS Cluster, this location MUST be accessible from ALL nodes in
  the cluster. Digital strongly recommends that you do NOT use SYS$COMMON or
  similar logicals because these logicals can translate to different
  directories on different nodes in the cluster. Be sure that you answer this
  question the same each time you install the server in the OpenVMS Cluster.

  Enter the top level directory for the Server to use (for example,
  DISK$CLUSTER:[NETSCAPE]). That directory will be created for you if it
  doesn't already exist.

  Note that if you are running multiple Netscape servers on this system or
  cluster (using different ports), the same top level directory must be used
  for all of the servers.

 Enter top level directory for the server: dsa210:[ns-home]

 Creating/Checking directory tree structure...

  You must specify an account from which the server will run. If you are
  running multiple servers on this system or cluster (using different ports)
  then you need a separate account for each server. If this is an upgrade,
  enter the existing server account.
 Enter account name [HTTPD_80]:

 Checking the HTTPD_80 account...
 An account HTTPD_80 already exists.
 Do you want to use this account [Y]:
 
 If you want to start the server from your system startup file, add the line:

    $ @DSA210:[NS-HOME.COMMON.HTTPD-80]START

  Phase 1 of the installation is complete.

  If this is a new installation, during Phase 2 you will have to enter the
  Server Port, Server Location, Server User (account) and Document Root.
  Based upon the configuration that was built during Phase 1, you should use:

    Server Port:        80
    Server Location:    DSA210:[NS-HOME.ALPHA]
    Server User:        HTTPD_80
    Document Root:      DSA210:[NS-HOME.COMMON.DOCS]

  Phase 2 of an INSTALLATION moves the Netscape Server files from the
  distribution media to the installation root you specified in Phase 1,
  and configures the server according to information that you provide.
 Phase 2 of an UPGRADE also moves the Netscape Server files from the
  distribution media to the installation root you specified in Phase 1,
  but does NOT configure the server. Instead your existing configuration
  is preserved.

  If you have already run Phase 2 of the installation/upgrade process for
  this version of this server, and on this installation root and hardware
  platform, you do not need to run it again.

  Do you want to run Phase 2 of the installation [Y]: y

 Starting Phase 2 (Netscape's NS-SETUP program)...

 Netscape Communications Corporation
 Netscape Communications Server QuickStart installation.

 To start the installation, you must enter your machine's full name.
 A full name is of type <hostname>.<domainname> such as foobar.widgets.com
 
 If you are part of an OpenVMS Cluster, do NOT enter the IP alias here.

 To accept the default in brackets, press return.
 Full name [munaxp.muh.dec.com]:
 All configuration for the server will be done through a forms-capable
 network browser. Open your chosen browser and connect to the
 installation server using hostname munaxp.muh.dec.com and the port number.

 The URL format is  http://munaxp.muh.dec.com:XXXX, where XXXX is the port number
 that the server will respond to.
