Netscape Communicator Installation

This chapter and the next 3 chapters discuss installing the uOne software and its support servers piece by piece. The chapters will show you how to install the Netscape Communicator, Netscape Directory Server, Netscape Messaging Server, the Apache Web Server, and uOne using the individual installation wizards associated with these software components. The Unattended Installer (which comes on a CD-ROM) has replaced the tasks performed by these installation wizards. Therefore, the information included in this chapter and the following three chapters serves to show you how to perform a "generic installation". This kind of installation is a good learning tool since it shows you the various components you are installing. Chapter 9 discusses how to uninstall uOne and the various servers.

Please refer to the Netscape Communicator installation guide that comes with the application. These instructions do not replace the Netscape Communicator installation instructions. The following are notes on specific Netscape settings that affect uOne operations.

Note You must install Netscape Communicator v4.51 before installing Netscape Directory Server.
