Before running a custom installation of Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Sun Solaris, review the following information:
1. If you chose the default configuration for the Administration Console, the setup program configured the username as "admin" and the password as "root." To protect the security of your server, it is highly recommended that you change the username and password as soon as possible. For more information, see "Configuring Usernames and Passwords" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP."
2. You use the Administration Console to start and stop the Chili!Soft ASP Server and to change configuration settings. You can access the Administration Console by typing the following URL in your Web browser address bar:
where [HOSTNAME] is the valid DNS name or IP address of the Apache Web Server running the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console and [PORT] is the port on which the Administration Console is configured to run (5100 by default). The URL for accessing the Administration Console is provided in the following file:
[C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR]/logs/install_summary
where [C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR] is the directory in which you installed Chili!Soft ASP (/opt/casp by default).
3. If you chose the option not to configure a Web server to run with Chili!Soft ASP during installation, the first time you open the Administration Console, you must select a Web server.
4. The Chili!Soft ASP setup program makes certain changes to the configuration files for the associated Web server. For more information, see "Changes to Netscape Web Server Configuration Files" or "Changes to Apache Web Server Configuration Files" in this chapter, as appropriate.
5. If you installed Chili!Soft ASP to run with an Apache Web server that does not support Dynamic Shared Object (DSO), you must manually link the Web server to Chili!Soft ASP and then recompile it, as described in "Configuring a Non-DSO Apache Web Server" in this chapter. If your Apache Web server supports DSO, there are no additional steps to take: Chili!Soft ASP includes pre-built DSO modules that automatically link to your Web server.
6. To use Chili!Beans, you must enable Java support, as described in "Enabling Java Support" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP." Chili!Beans enables you to access Java objects and classes from an ASP script. For more information about Chili!Beans, see "Chili!Beans Component Reference" in "Chapter 5: Developer's Reference."
7. When finished installing Chili!Soft ASP 3.6, it is a good idea to use the diagnostic applications to verify that your installation is functioning correctly. You can access the diagnostics from the following URL:
http://[HOSTNAME]/caspsamp/diagnostics.htm
where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of the Web server configured to run with Chili!Soft ASP.
8. Important summary information about the installation is located in the following file:
[C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR]/logs/install_summary
where [C-ASP_INSTALL_DIR]is the directory in which you installed Chili!Soft ASP (/opt/casp by default).
It is a good idea to print this information for future reference.
