2.1.3 Installing the Chili!Soft ASP Server

  1. INSTALL.SH SCRIPT: Run the script 'install.sh' which was created in the previous section. You must be logged onto the machine as root to perform this installation. From the command line, type the following command:
     
  2. #> ./install.sh
     

     
  3. EULA: You will be prompted with the End-User License Agreement. Read the entire agreement and answer Y if you agree, and N if you do not agree. If you do not agree with the EULA, you can not continue to install the Chili!Soft ASP Server.

  4.  
  5. INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: You will then be asked for the target directory for the Chili!Soft ASP install. At the prompt, type the full path for the installation and press enter. If you do not specify an installation directory, the default directory for the installation will be "/opt/casp". The install script will then install all the needed files for the Chili!Soft ASP Server.

  6.  
  7. LICENSE FILE: You will be prompted for the location of the license file (LICENSE.LIC). Although you may complete the installation without a valid license file, Chili!Soft ASP will not run without a valid license file in the installation directory (by default, /opt/casp). If you downloaded this product via the Web, you should have received an email with instructions on obtaining a license file. If you are installing from a CDROM, the license file is located on the CD. If you are upgrading from a previous installation, your license file will be preserved as long as you did not select the 'uninstall' option.

  8.  
  9. WEB SERVER SELECTION: Next, you will be asked which Web server you would like to install Chili!Soft ASP to. The installer will provide you with several options for searching for Web servers. Select the Web server that you wish to install to. If the Web server that you wish to install to is not listed, you may choose the option to select a Web server that is not listed.

  10.  
  11. VERIFY WEB SERVER INFORMATION: You will be asked to verify the information about your Web server that the installation script has determined. Since there are many possible configurations for Web servers, make sure that this information is correct. If you are unsure of the information, you may proceed and return to the installer if the installation fails.

  12.  
  13. 'AUTO-SELECT' VS 'CUSTOMIZE' ASP INSTALLATION: Next, you will be asked to select between 'Auto-select/Default' and 'Customize settings' options. These correlate to 'Standard' versus 'Advanced' installations. We highly encourage novices to select the 'Auto-select' installation.

  14.  
  15. 'CUSTOMIZE' OPTIONS FOR ASP: The 'Customize settings' installation for Chili!Soft ASP provides the following configuration options:
    • Restart Web server
    • Enable Samples: installs and configures the Chili!Soft ASP samples on your web server (http://<your-server>/caspsamp)
    • Enable Documentation: installs and configures the Chili!Soft ASP samples on your web server (http://<your-server>/caspdoc)
    • Start ASP on system boot
    • Start the Chili!Soft ASP server

     
  16. 'AUTO-SELECT' VS 'CUSTOMIZE' ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE INSTALLATION: Next, you will be asked if you wish to install the Administration Console. You will be given the 'Auto-select/Default' versus 'Customize Settings' option; we encourage novices to select the 'Auto-select' option.

  17.  
  18. 'CUSTOMIZE' OPTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE: The 'Customize settings' installation for the Administration Console provides the following configuration options:
    • Port: select the port on which the Web server should listen for requests to the Administration Console.
    • User ID and Password

     
  19. DEFAULT USER ID AND PASSWORD FOR ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE: If you selected 'Auto-select' for the Administration Console, the default user ID is 'admin' and the default password is 'root'. We highly recommend that you change these settings as soon as possible.

  20.  
  21. SUMMARY FILE: Upon completion of the installation, a summary file will be written to: <installation directory>/logs/install_summary

  22.  
  23. CHANGES TO APACHE: For information on the changes made by the install script to the Apache configuration files, see the "Supported Server Information" in the provided Chili!Soft ASP documentation.
