Installation Requirements: Sun Chili!Soft ASP for HP-UX

This section lists the hardware and software requirements for installing and running Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 for HP-UX. It also lists additional software (such as databases and tools) that Sun Chili!Soft ASP supports.

Hardware and Software Requirements

Hardware

Your hardware configuration must meet the following minimum requirements:

· 256 MB RAM

· Pentium-class processor (x86)

· 140 MB free hard disk space

Operating System

Sun Chili!Soft ASP for HP-UX runs on the following operating system:

· HP-UX 11.0

Certain runtime library patches for the HP-UX operating system must be installed. For best performance, it is strongly recommended that you install the latest Quality Pack bundles (formerly known as General Release bundles). Quality Pack bundles are tested sets of HP-UX core patches that keep your operating system up to date.

You can obtain the Quality Pack bundles from HP at:

http://www.software.hp.com/SUPPORT_PLUS/

After you have installed the latest Quality Pack bundles, make sure that the patches listed below are installed on your machine. If any of the following required patches are not installed, you must manually download and install them.

The individual patches can be obtained from HP at:

http://us-support.external.hp.com/common/bin/doc.pl/

The required patches for HP-UX 11.0 are as follows:

Note

This list does not include dependency patches. On the Web page from which you download the patch, be sure to click the "dependency" link and install the dependency patches.

· PHCO_23963 (s700_800 11.00 libc cumulative header file patch)

· PHCO_25707 (s700_800 11.00 libc cumulative patch)

· PHCO_24963 (s700_800 11.00 pthread(3t) cumulative man page patch)

· PHCO_26000 (s700_800 11.00 libpthreads cumulative patch)

· PHSS_24627 (s700_800 11.X HP aC++ -AA runtime libraries (aCC A.03.33))

· PHSS_22478 (s700_800 ld(1) and linker tools cumulative patch)

· PHKL_18543 - (PM/VM/UFS/async/scsi/io/DMAPI/JFS/perf patch)

Kernel Configuration

On the HP-UX 11.00 machine the default kernel configurable parameter is set too low and therefore is not sufficient to reliably run Sun Chili!Soft ASP. To increase the performance of this product, you should modify the maxdsiz configurable parameter. By default, this value is set to 64 MB. Depending upon your stress requirements, this value should be increased to at least 256 MB. Refer to your operating system documentation for information about how to increase this value.

Web Server

You must be running one of the following Web servers:

· HP Apache-based Web Server 1.3.19.23 DSO

· Apache 1.3.19 DSO

· iPlanet Web Server, Enterprise Edition 6.0 SP1

Note

If you want to install Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 to the HP Apache-based Web server, you may first need to install that Web server. For more information and the download, go to:

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B9415AAPA1319

Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 may install to other versions of the supported Web servers listed above (Apache 1.3.12, for instance). However, versions not listed have not been certified to run with Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2, and their use is not supported by Sun Chili!Soft Customer Support.

Note

To provide remote database connectivity with Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 databases, Sun Chili!Soft ASP ships with the client portion of the DataDirect SequeLink 4.51a software. On the Windows machine that contains your database, you also must download and install the server portion of this software from Sun Chili!Soft. For more information, see "Configuring SequeLink" in "Chapter 3: Managing Sun Chili!Soft ASP."

Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 may work with other versions of the databases listed above. However, versions not listed have not been tested to run with Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2, and their use is not supported by Sun Chili!Soft Customer Support.

Java Runtime Environment

Sun Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2 includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.3.1 for Sun Chili!Beans. While JREs 1.2.x and 1.3.x are supported, and the Java 2 Runtime Environment can also be used, the use of JRE 1.3.1 is strongly recommended. Chili!Beans enables you to use Java class files as components called from VBScript or JScript. To use Chili!Beans, a Java runtime environment must be installed on the machine, and Chili!Beans must be enabled from the Administration Console. For more information, see "Chili!Beans Component Reference" in "Chapter 5: Developer's Reference."

Before installing Chili!Soft ASP 3.6.2, you must have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) patches for HP-UX 11.00 installed, which you can obtain at:

http://www.unix.hp.com/java/infolibrary/patches.html

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

Sun Chili!Soft ASP enables you to run ASP pages generated by Microsoft FrontPage. Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions provide services to the Web server that work in conjunction with Sun Chili!Soft ASP to provide FrontPage functionality to computers not running Microsoft Windows NT or Windows 2000 and Internet Information Services (IIS).

FrontPage Server Extensions are no longer installed with Sun Chili!Soft ASP; you must obtain them from Microsoft. See "Enabling FrontPage Publishing" in "Chapter 3: Managing Sun Chili!Soft ASP."

Note

Specific questions about the installation, configuration, and use of FrontPage and FrontPage Server Extensions should be directed to Microsoft or its representatives.
