Install Site Admin

You install Site Admin by using the Site Admin zip package.

The zip package contains an executable Java .jar file. Unlike traditional Java web applications, Site Admin does not require a stand-alone application server (for example, Tomcat), because one is embedded within the .jar file.

Use the Executable .jar File to Run Site Admin

Download and extract the files from the install zip file. The zip file contains the siteadmin.jar executable .jar file, and an install directory.

Use the following command to run Site Admin:

Java -Didol.idolsiteadmin.home=[home directory] –Dserver.port=[port] –jar siteadmin.jar –uriEncoding utf-8

NOTE: On Linux, OpenText recommends that you use /opt/siteadmin as the install directory, and /opt/siteadmin/home as the home directory. On Windows, the home directory might be C:\ProgramData\SiteAdmin. In either case, ensure that the user running Site Admin has read and write permissions for the home directory.

You can also install Site Admin as a service. See Install Site Admin as a Service on Linux and Install Site Admin as a Windows Service.

To continue the installation, follow the steps in Configure Site Admin.
