The following sections assume that you have installed at least one WebAccess Agent and one WebAccess Application (or WebPublisher Application) and now need to install additional agents or applications.
Before GroupWise 8, you could successfully run different versions of the WebAccess Agent and the WebAccess Application together. For example, you could install a new version of the WebAccess Application on your Web server while still running the previous version of the WebAccess Agent for the domain.
Starting in GroupWise 8, the recommended update procedure is to update all the WebAccess Agents in your GroupWise system first, then update all the WebAccess Applications. Long-term use of the mixed-version configuration is not supported and can result in time zone problems. You must update both the WebAccess Agent and the WebAccess Application to the same version in order to ensure proper functioning of the GroupWise 8 WebAccess client.
IMPORTANT:Running a new WebAccess Application with an older WebAccess Agent is no longer supported.
For more information, see NetWare and Windows: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.

If you have already copied the GroupWise WebAccess software to a software distribution directory, run setup.exe from the internet\webacces directory.
Click to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.
Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess Agent, then click .
Follow the prompts to create the WebAccess Agent’s gateway directory, install the WebAccess Agent software, and create the WebAccess Agent’s object in Novell eDirectory.
If you are installing to a domain where another WebAccess Agent already exists, you must use a different directory and object name than the one used for the existing WebAccess Agent.
When installation is complete, you need to configure your system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For information, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.
To install a WebAccess Application or a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:

Click to accept the license agreement and display the Select Components dialog box.
Deselect all components except the GroupWise WebAccess application and/or the Groupwise WebPublisher Application, then click .
The WebAccess Application and WebPublisher Application must be associated with a WebAccess Agent. For information on configuring a WebAccess or WebPublisher Application to connect to other WebAccess Agents, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.
Specify the path for the WebAccess Agent’s gateway directory.
Follow the prompts to install the files to the Web server. Restart the Web server.
For more information, see Linux: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
Make sure that LDAP is running on your eDirectory server and that it is configured to accept login from the WebAccess Agent Installation program.
In a terminal window, become root by entering su - and the root password.
The su - command enables the X Window System, which is required for running the GUI GroupWise Installation program. If you do not want to use the X Window System, you can install GroupWise components individually, as described in Installing the GroupWise Agents Using the Text-Based Installation Program
in Installing GroupWise Agents
in the GroupWise 8 Installation Guide.
Change to the root of the GroupWise 8 DVD or the downloaded GroupWise 8 software image.
Enter ./install.
Select the language in which you want to run the Installation program and install the WebAccess software, then click .
In the Installation program, click .
When the installation is complete, click .
Click .
Follow the prompts to configure the Linux WebAccess Agent.
When installation and configuration is complete, you need to configure your GroupWise system so that the WebAccess and WebPublisher Applications know about this instance of the WebAccess Agent and can direct the appropriate user requests to it. For instructions, see Section 53.3, Configuring Redirection and Failover Support.
To install a WebAccess Application and a WebPublisher Application to a Web server:
After installing and configuring the WebAccess Agent, if you want to use existing Apache and Tomcat installations, click .
In addition, a self-signed certificate is generated, enabling users to use WebAccess and WebPublisher using an SSL connection.
NOTE:The option to install Apache and Tomcat along with the WebAccess Application is not available if you are installing to Novell Open Enterprise Server Linux because Apache and Tomcat are already installed and configured correctly in that environment.
When the installation is complete, click .
Click .
Follow the prompts to configure the Linux WebAccess Application.
When the installation and configuration is complete, start or restart the Web server.
