| ISA Apache HTTP Server?
ISA includes its own Perl environment and Apache HTTP server
and installs these in isadir. ISA does not
overwrite any existing Perl or Apache environments currently on
your system and requires you to use the ISA-supplied Apache HTTP
server. |
If you answer yes, ISA installs Apache in isadir and
configures it automatically. If no, installation stops.
___________________________ |
| ISA Perl environment?
ISA does not overwrite any existing Perl environments currently
on your system. For information about Perl in ISA, see the PERLCONFIG
file in the isadir/doc directory. |
If you answer yes, ISA installs Perl in isadir and configures it automatically.
If you answer no, you can adapt ISA to use your own Perl environment.
___________________________ |
| Hostname |
Enter the name of the computer (ISA node) on
which you are installing ISA.
___________________________ |
| Port Number |
ISA
checks your services file for available port numbers and provides
an available default port number. If you do not use the default,
specify a port number for the ISA server between 1025 and 65535,
inclusive that is available for use on the computer on which you
are installing ISA. For a list of port numbers currently in use,
see the /etc/services file.
___________________________
If your environment does not use the services file for port numbers,
check with your system administrator. Ensure that you add this port
number to the services file.
_____________________________________ |
| ISA Administrator |
Specify the email address of the ISA administrator.
This must be a valid email address. ISA sends problem reports to
this email address. Create an alias named isa-admin for
this purpose.
_____________________________________ |
| Confirm email address |
ISA tests the email address by sending the ISA README file.
You must verify that the email address received the test email. |
| HTTP Server Password |
Specify a password for the user informix.
When a user accesses ISA from the Web browser, the browser prompts
for a user name and password. The user logs in as user informix with
this password.
Note:
The ISA HTTP server user informix is
different from the database server user informix.
___________________________
This password does not need to be the same as the system password
for user informix. However, anyone who can
access ISA with this username and password can do anything that
user informix can do from the database server command
line. |
| Read-Only Users |
Provide user names and passwords for any read-only
users. Read-only users can
monitor the server using ISA, but cannot perform administrative
tasks, such as changing the mode of the server or adding storage
spaces.
___________________________
___________________________
ISA user accounts are not related to operating system user accounts;
they exist only in the ISA server. |
| Server setup? |
Server setup is an optional package that allows
users to set up database server quickly and easily through ISA.
___________________________ |
| Java-enabled features |
To use the Java-enabled ISA features (Server
Setup and Remote Monitoring), you must have a Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) version 1.2.2 or higher already installed. If yes, specify the complete file path to the JRE executable, for
example, /usr/Java/bin.
___________________________
Also, specify the ISA Servlet Engine Port Number (must be between
1024 and 65536). This must be a different number from the one you
chose for the ISA HTTP server. (For a list of port numbers currently
in use, see the /etc/services file. You should
update the /etc/services file with the port
numbers for the ISA server and the ISA servlet engine, if applicable,
to prevent accidental reuse of these port numbers.)
___________________________ |
| Configure ISA to manage a database server instance? |
If your UNIX or Linux environment includes
the following valid Informix environment variables for a database
server instance, the ISA installation program prompts you to configure
ISA to manage that server:
- INFORMIXSERVER
- INFORMIXDIR
- ONCONFIG
Note:
This prompt only appears if all three environment
variables are present.
___________________________
If yes, the ISA installation program adds these values to the isadir/etc/isacfg file.
If INFORMIXSQLHOSTS is also present in the
environment, the ISA installation program adds it to isadir/etc/isacfg. |
| Start the ISA Apache HTTP Server? |
You must start the ISA Apache HTTP server
before you can access ISA. To start the server manually as user informix,
run the isadir/sbin/isactl start command.
___________________________ |
| Run ISA |
To run ISA, open a web browser, access http://hostname:port_number/,
and log in as user informix (or as a read-only
user) using the password you provided during the installation. |
