Hi deeps,

I have installed XI R2 SP1 on my personal computer.
OS is Windows XP Home edition SP2.
It works properly with 1Gb Ram and processor is AMD 3200+.
It allows me to do some homeworks :nonod:

This month I will try to install EPM to evaluate it

Good Luck

I have installed it on XP Pro SP2. It may be related to the keys…if you don’t have access it won’t allow you to install.

thanks 4TearsLux. did you also install IIS or you used some other webserver as XP home doesn’t come with IIS. please let me know. thanks.

you can configure the IIS,use your XP cd and go to the Add/remove windows component.There you confiugre IIS.

I selected Tomcat as Web Application Server which is installed and configured during the setup process.
Note if you choose to install IIS instead you will not be able to install EPM modules (they are available only under J2EE web appl server)

thanks again. i got confused. can’t we have iis as the webserver and tomcat as the app server and use it like we do it 6.x using iis - tomcat connector? if you used tomcat does that mean you use apache as the web server? can we still use iis-tomcat combination in xir2. thanks.

Yes, you can, but you have to manually configure it. If you use Apache/Tomcat, it installs and configures automagically during the install.

What you find in BO docs is :
• standalone mode
The WAR files that contain both static and dynamic content are deployed
on the Web Application Server (WAS).
(My quote :WAS then act as a web server when it can host static contents)
• distributed mode
The static content is extracted from the WAR files, and then the dynamic
content is deployed to the application server. The static content is then
deployed on the web server. This may enhance performance because
the web server can serve up static pages without having to communicate
with the web application server.

In my case since it’s my “garbage” environement to test security, CHF, …
I use only Tomcat which act as a Web application server ( Tomcat is in fact a servlet container), and since it can host static content, it can be considered as a web server.

Note that in BO XI install guide you may read :
“The term web application server refers to a web server and an
application server.”

Therefore, I don’t thing that Apache is installed (web server). Tomcat is for a basic configuration sufficient (it act as web server and web application server). BO install will not install Apache (to be confirmed).

As the default installation, Apache/Tomcat are installed and configured. If you don’t have a database installed, My SQL will be installed and configured for the default repository.
