Uninstall Conflicting Software

Be sure the following software is uninstalled from the machines. Use the "Add or Remove Programs" feature of the Control Panel to check. If any of this software is installed, uninstall it, reboot the machine and manually delete the old installation directories.

  1. Any version of Apache HTTP server. Be sure to delete the installation folder which is usually ‘C:\Program Files\Apache Group’.
  2. Microsoft IIS Web Server. To check or uninstall this use the "Add/Remove Windows Components" section of the normal "Add/Remove Programs" utility.

Student User for Labs
Provide a userid(s) for use by the students which has local administrative privileges on the machines that will be used. This is required as students will be installing applications and running server applications. If this requirement is an issue please contact the setup support person before the class to resolve this problem.

Reinstall JBoss

  1. Open a Windows Explorer window and navigate to the ‘C:\Software’ directory.
  2. Delete the ‘jboss-4.0.4.GA’ directory from the ‘C:\Software’ directory. This will remove the previous JBoss configuration.
  3. Navigate to the ‘C:\Software\Downloads\JBoss’ directory.
  4. Extract the ‘jboss-4.0.4.GA.zip’ file to the ‘C:\Software’ directory.
  5. Navigate to the ‘C:\Software’ directory.
  6. Check that the ‘jboss-4.0.4.GA’ directory was recreated. This is the reinstalled configuration of JBoss.

Reinstall Apache
Reinstall the Apache software as described in the normal setup instructions. You can use the ‘Apache2.0.58.doc’ document from the software CD for the setup instructions.
