2.4.2. Installing Enterprise Web Server

  1. Download the JBoss Enterprise Web Server zip file from the CSP site that is correct for your operating system and architecture.
  2. Unzip the Enterprise Web Server binary inside C:\Program Files.
    To extract the .zip archive, right-click on the file and select Extract All.... Click Next. When prompted for the extract location, click Browse and navigate to the C:\Program Files directory. Click Finish.
    Your files will be extracted to C:\Program Files\Red Hat\Enterprise Web Server.
  3. Run JBoss Enterprise Web Server as an administrator:
    1. Run the Command Prompt as an administrator. Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

      Note

      You will need to select Run as administrator even if you are logged in as an administrator.

      Note

      Windows Server 2003 does not have the User Account Control concept, so you will only need to run the Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
    2. Inside the Command Prompt, type the following to move to the etc directory of your Enterprise Web Server installation: 
      C:\> cd /D "C:\Program Files\Red Hat\Enterprise Web Server\etc"
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    3. Run the post-installation script by typing: 
      C:\> call postinstall.bat
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      This script creates the required symbolic links (Junction Points) for temporary logging and configuration directories.
