Before You Install

Consider the following before you install the Administrative UI:

• You install the Administrative UI using the installation media on the Technical Support site.

  Note: For a list of installation media names based on operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.

• If you are installing to an existing application server infrastructure, the following procedures apply. If you are using the stand-alone option to install, see Installing the Administrative UI.
• Important! The installation zip contains a layout.properties file and a Framework folder at the same level as the installation media. If you moved the installation media after extracting the installation zip, move the following to the same location or the installation fails:
  • layout.properties file
  • Framework folder
• Important! (UNIX) Depending on your permissions, you may need to add executable permissions to the directory that contains the installation media by running the following:

  chmod -R+x directory
  

  • directory

    Specifies the directory that contains the installation media.

• Important! (UNIX) The user installing the Administrative UI must have read/write permissions for the directory to which the application server is installed.
• (UNIX) If you execute the Administrative UI installer across different subnets, it can crash. Install the Administrative UI directly on the host system.
• If you are installing the Administrative UI to the same system as the Report Server, port conflicts can occur. By default, both components use port 8080.
