Installing Additional WebAccess Components

The following sections assume that you have installed at least one WebAccess Agent and one WebAccess Application (or WebPublisher Application) and now need to install additional agents or applications.


Installing Additional Components on NetWare or Windows

For more information, see "Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess on NetWare or Windows" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.


Installing a NetWare or Windows WebAccess Agent

  1. Insert the GroupWise 6.5 Administrator CD into the CD drive to start the Installation program, click Install Products, click GroupWise WebAccess, then click Install GroupWise WebAccess. If the Installation program does not start automatically, run setup.exe from the root of the CD.

    or

    If you've already copied the GroupWise WebAccess software to a software distribution directory, run setup.exe from the internet\webacces directory.

  2. Click Yes to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.

  3. Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess Agent, then click Next.

  4. Follow the prompts to create the WebAccess Agent's gateway directory, install the WebAccess Agent software, and create the WebAccess Agent's object in Novell® eDirectoryTM.

    If you are installing to a domain where another WebAccess Agent already exists, you must use a different directory and object name than the one used for the existing WebAccess Agent.

  5. When installation is complete, you will need to configure your system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For information, see Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.


Installing a NetWare or Windows WebAccess or WebPublisher Application

To install a WebAccess Application or a WebPublisher Application to a web server:

  1. Insert the GroupWise Administrator CD into the CD drive to start the installation program, click Install Products, click Groupwise WebAccess, then click Install GroupWise WebAccess. If the installation program does not start automatically, run setup.exe from the root of the CD.

    or

    If you've already copied the Groupwise WebAccess software to a software distribution directory, run setup.exe from the internet/webacces directory.

  2. Click Yes to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.

  3. Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess application and/or the Groupwise WebPublisher Application, then click Next.

    The WebAccess Application and WebPublisher Application must be associated with a WebAccess Agent. For information on configuring a WebAccess or WebPublisher Application to connect to other WebAccess Agents, see Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.

  4. Enter the path for the WebAccess Agent's gateway directory.

  5. Follow the prompts to install the files to the web server. Restart the Web server.


Installing Additional Components on Linux

For more information, see "Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess on Linux" in the GroupWise 6.5 Installation Guide.


Installing a Linux WebAccess Agent

  1. Make sure that LDAP is running on your eDirectory server and that it is configured to accept login from the WebAccess Agent Installation program.

  2. Open a new terminal window, then enter the following command:

    xhost + localhost

  3. In the same window, become root by entering su and the root password.

  4. Change to the root of the GroupWise 6.5 for Linux Administrator CD.

  5. Enter ./install.

When installation and configuration is complete, you need to configure your GroupWise system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about this instance of the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For instructions, see Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.


Installing a Linux WebAccess and WebPublisher Application

To install a WebAccess Application and a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:

  1. After installing and configuring the WebAccess Agent, click Install GroupWise WebAccess Application with Apache and Tomcat if you want to create a new installation of Apache and Tomcat for this instance of the WebAccess Application.
