This topic describes the steps to install a custom configuration of Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Sun Solaris. For more information about a custom installation, see "Choosing an Installation Option for Sun Solaris" in this chapter.
Important Upgrade Information
If you are upgrading from a previous version, the setup program might not be able to preserve your existing settings. Before beginning the installation, go to the Chili!Soft Web site for information about performing an upgrade, at:
http://www.chilisoft.com/support/
If you downloaded Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Sun Solaris from the Chili!Soft Web site, your version includes a setup program that can upgrade many of your settings from Chili!Soft ASP 3.4.1. Be aware that following installation, you will need to take additional steps to finish the configuration before running Chili!Soft ASP 3.6. For more information about performing this upgrade see "Upgrading Chili!Soft ASP for Sun Solaris" in this chapter.
The configuration options you specify when installing a custom configuration of Chili!Soft ASP can have serious consequences for your server environment. Before you begin, make sure you meet the following requirements:
· You must be logged in as root.
· If you are downloading Chili!Soft ASP from the Web, you must have 45 MB of hard disk space available in order to extract the installation files.
· Your hardware and software must meet the requirements listed in "Installation RequirementsChili!Soft ASP for Sun Solaris" in this chapter.
· You need to know your product serial number. Chili!Soft ASP requires a valid serial number in order to run. If you downloaded the product from the Web, you should have received an e-mail message that included your serial number. If you are installing this product from a CD-ROM, the serial number is printed on the CD-ROM case. If you are installing a trial version from a CD-ROM, you can obtain a serial number at:
http://www.chilisoft.com/register
· To enable Chili!Beans, you must have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version between 1.1.7 and 1.2.1_03a installed on the target Web server. 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."
· If you are upgrading from a previous version of Chili!Soft ASP, you must shut down the ASP Server, and you must install Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 into the same directory as your previous installation. In addition, be sure to review the important information in "Upgrading Chili!Soft ASP for Sun Solaris" in this chapter.
· To configure Chili!Soft ASP to run with a Web server that is already installed on the target computer, you must shut down the Web server. Also, be prepared to provide the following information about your Web server:
Absolute path name of the Web server main configuration file (for example, /usr/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf)
Absolute path name of the Web server binary (for example, /usr/HTTPServer/bin/httpd)
Web server version (for example, 1.3.12)
Web server type (for example, Apache)
Web server port number (for example, 80)
Web server root directory (for example, /usr/HTTPServer)
· When configuring the Zeus Web Server to run with Chili!Soft ASP 3.6, do not specify the Web server hostname as the fully qualified domain name (or "server address"). If you do, the Test DSN feature of the Administration Console will not work. Instead, use the hostname only.
For example, do not use this: hostname.domain.com
Instead, use this: hostname
· If you choose to customize settings for the Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console, you will need to specify a username and password for accessing it. Be sure to specify a password that you can remember, or else plan to store it in a secure location. If you forget your password, you can run the admtool utility and set a new password, as described in "Configuring Usernames and Passwords" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP." If you do not choose the customize settings option, the username is set as "admin" and the password as "root." To protect the security of your server, you should run the admtool and change these as soon as possible following installation.
· You need to know what language you want Chili!Soft ASP to support. The options are US English, British English, Dutch, French, German, Japanese Shift-JIS, Spanish, and Swedish. If you want, you can change the language after installation, as described in "Configuring International Support" in "Chapter 3: Managing Chili!Soft ASP."
· If you configure Chili!Soft ASP to run with an Apache Web Server that does not support Dynamic Shared Objects (DSO), following installation 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.
To install a custom configuration of Chili!Soft ASP 3.6 for Sun Solaris, use the following procedure.
To install a custom configuration of Chili!Soft ASP for Sun Solaris
1. If you are installing Chili!Soft ASP from a CD-ROM, skip this step and go to step 2. If you are downloading Chili!Soft ASP from the Web, download the casp-3.6.0-solaris.tar file to a temporary directory, and then extract the installation files by using the following command:
#> tar -xvf casp-3.6.0-solaris.tar
This step creates the following files in the temporary directory, which you can delete after completing the installation:
A README file containing important product information
The install.sh installation script
A package/EULA file containing the end-user license agreement
A package/directory containing files required to install Chili!Soft ASP
2. Run the install.sh script by using the following command. For downloaded versions, this script is located in the temporary directory you created in the previous step. For CD-ROM versions, this script is located on your installation CD-ROM.
#> ./install.sh
3. Review the End-User License Agreement (EULA) that displays. Enter yes if you agree with its conditions. You must type the entire word "yes."
or
Enter no if you do not agree. If you enter no, the Chili!Soft ASP setup program aborts the installation.

Enter the absolute path name of the installation directory you want. It is a good idea to make a note of this location so that you can easily find the Chili!Soft ASP files at a later time.
Note
In order to upgrade from Chili!Soft ASP 3.4.1, you must specify the installation directory of your existing installation.
6. If the setup program detects a previous installation of Chili!Soft ASP in the specified directory, it asks whether or not you want to uninstall the previous version and continue. If the setup program successfully exported your existing settings from the previous installation, it also provides a message indicating this. You will be prompted to import the settings later during setup.
If you do not see the second message, your settings will not be preserved, and you will need to reconfigure all of them following installation.
Enter y (yes) to uninstall the previous installation and continue.
or
Enter n (no) to change the installation directory or cancel the installation.
7. On the next screen, enter y (yes) if you know the product serial number.
