2.5 Installing Host Publisher Server

In this section, we show you the Host Publisher Server installation for the

Windows NT system. The Host Publisher installation process does not include a

Web Server and does not support installation of one after Host Publisher and

WebSphere are installed. Therefore, be sure to install one of the Web servers

supported by WebSphere Applications Server (WAS). In the rest of this section,

we assume that WAS has been properly installed.

Important: WebSphere Application Server 3.5 must be active for the Host

Publisher installation and configuration to be successful.
