Chapter 2 Before You Install Sun ONE Web Server 23
Choosing Unique Port Numbers
You need multiple port numbers: one for the Administration Server and one for
each instance of Sun ONE Web Server. The Administration Server is a special
instance of the Sun ONE Web Server that you use to manage your Sun ONE Web
Server.
The standard web server port number is 80 and the standard SSL-enabled web
server port number is 443, but you can install Sun ONE Web Server to use any port.
If you use a port other than the default port (port 80), the URL used to gain access
to your home page changes. For example, if your computer is called
www.siroe.com and you choose port 9753, your server’s URL will be
http://www.siroe.com:9753/
.
You should choose a random number for the Administration Server to make it
harder for anyone to breach your server. When you configure your server, you use
the Administration Server’s port number. For example, for server
mozilla.com,
the server’s URL could be
http://www.mozilla.com:2634/.
Make sure the port you choose isn’t already in use. On UNIX and Linux systems,
you can check the file
/etc/services on the server machine to make sure you
don’t assign a port number that is reserved for another service. If you choose a port
that is currently being used by another service, the installation program prompts
you for another port.
Installation Overview
You can install Sun ONE Web Server by downloading it off the Sun Products
download web site:

You can also install it from the Sun ONE Web Server CD. In addition, the Sun ONE
Web Server software comes with the 5.2 version of Sun ONE Directory Server on a
Companion CD.
When you install Sun ONE Web Server, you follow these basic steps:
NOTE
If you use UNIX or Linux, and you choose a server port number lower than
1024, you must be logged in as root to start the server. After the server
binds to the port, the server changes from the root user account to the
user account you specify. If you choose a port number higher than 1024,
you don’t have to be the root user to start the server.
