Before You Install Trailhead

Before you install Trailhead, you must install the gzip compress/uncompression utility and the Java Web Server 1.1.3.

Note: This step is required only if you are not installing on the same machine as the Cisco Collaboration Server (CCS). If you are installing on the same machine, go to Install and Configure Trailhead.

Installing gzip and JWS requires that you do the following:

1. Obtain root privilege

2. Install gzip

3. Install Java Web Server

4. Test Java Web Server

Obtain root privilege

To install these products, you need root privilege. Type this command:

su root

Install gzip

Check to see if gzip is already installed on your system. If it is not, follow these steps:

1. Copy the gzip media from the CD:

   cp /cdrom/ciscoth/gzip124/ /usr/local/

2. Enter these commands:

   cd /usr/local

   pkgadd -d gzip124

3. Press Enter to accept the default to install gzip.

Install Java Web Server 1.1.3

Check to see if the Java Web Server is already installed on your system. If it is not, follow these steps to install the Sun Java Web Server (JWS) version 1.1.3 for Solaris:

1. Copy the JWS media from the CD to /usr/local/:

   cp /cdrom/ciscoth/jws113.tgz /usr/local/

2. Go to /usr/local

   cd /usr/local/

3. Unzip the JWS media:

   bin/gunzip -c jws113.tgz | tar xf -

4. Set the ownership of the JavaWebServer directory to nobody.

   chown -R nobody /usr/local/JavaWebServer1.1.3

Test Java Web Server 1.1.3

1. Go to the JWS bin directory:

   cd /usr/local/JavaWebServer1.1.3/bin

2. Start the Java Web Server:

   ./httpd &

3. Open a browser and connect to the web server by going to this URL:

   http://<servername>:8080

   A JWS1.1.3 Congratulations page displays indicating that Java Web Server is installed and running successfully.
