If you want to install one or more individual Web/application server components during a NetWare installation, select the Customized NetWare Server option during the installation process.
This section describes each of the Web-related components available on the Components list during install.
Components available for individual installation include the following:
Selecting the Apache2 Web Server and Tomcat 4 Servlet Container component installs the Apache Web server 2.0 and the Tomcat Servlet Container 4.1 for your own use as a dedicated Web hosting solution. Tomcat is used for running Web servlets and JSPs.
For more information about installing Apache as your dedicated Web server, see Apache Installation and Configuration
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Apache Web Server Administration Guide. For more information about installing Tomcat, see Tomcat Installation and Configuration
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Tomcat Administration Guide.
This component installs an administration instance of the Apache Web server. Apache is used on NetWare in two ways: as an administration server (Apache2 Admin Server) and as a dedicated Web server (Apache2 Web Server). The Apache2 Admin Server is installed by default and runs in protected address space on your NetWare server.
This component is available as a post-install option for instances where you are migrating an older NetWare server to a new server. After you complete the migration process and begin adding additional NetWare components, you can select this option to add the Apache administration server to your NetWare server.
For more information, see Administration Instance vs. Public Instance of Apache on NetWare
in the NW 6.5 SP8: Apache Web Server Administration Guide.
This selection installs Tomcat Servlet Container 4.1, which is used for running Web servlets and JavaServer Pages. Typically, Tomcat is used with the Apache Web server.
For more information about installing and using Tomcat, see the NW 6.5 SP8: Tomcat Administration Guide.
Novell QuickFinder Server lets you add search and print functionality to any Web site, anywhere on the World Wide Web or on a company intranet. You can use it on your own enterprise-wide Web site or to host search services for business partners or clients.
For more information about installing and using QuickFinder, see the NW 6.5 SP8 Novell QuickFinder Server 5.0 Administration Guide.
MySQL is an open source, SQL database. When combined with a Web application, MySQL serves as a very reliable and scalable database for use in hosting business solutions such as eCommerce and business-to-business.
If you do not have Apache installed and you want to host Web servlets or applications, consider installing either the Apache2 Web Server and Tomcat 4 Servlet Container component or the special purpose Apache/Tomcat Server.
For more information about installing and using MySQL, see the NW 6.5 SP8: Novell MySQL Administration Guide.
