§ Information required for DocuShare installation Before you begin installation
Information required for DocuShare installation
The install wizard asks questions about how you want the site installed. You may accept the defaults, but there is some required information that you should have before starting the installation. After installation, the administrator of the site can change most of the information that was provided during installation.
Information that you need for an installation include:
• Web server installation information:
o Windows platform: If you choose to use Microsoft IIS as your web server, load llS during Windows Server software installation. Choose Tomcat interacts with IIS from the wizard Web Server Interaction window. This choice installs the DocuShare Tomcat servlet engine and the software that connects the Tomcat engine to the IIS web server.
If you choose to install Tomcat with IIS, you need to declare an IIS port number to use if you do not accept the default port number. If you choose to install a web server other than IIS, you must follow the installation instructions for that web server. The web server must be installed and running before you begin the DocuShare software installation. In this case, choose Tomcat only from the Web Server Interaction window.
· Refer to the Web Server Bridge section of this guide for instruction on how to edit specific files to create a bridge between your web server and the Tomcat servlet.Web server options:
o A fully qualified DNS hostname (such as sales.acme.com) or the IP address for the server. You cannot use aliases or WINS names.
o The server root (the default is docushare).
o Whether you want to run the server as HTTP or HTTPS. Choose HTTPS only if you configured your web server for HTTPS service.
