Use the Web-based installer interface to install Veritas products. The Web-based installer can perform most of the tasks that the script-based installer performs.

You use the webinstaller script to start and stop the Veritas XPortal Server xprtlwid process. The webinstaller script can also be used to check the status of the XPortal Server.

When the webinstaller script starts the xprtlwid process, the script displays a URL. Use this URL to access the Web-based installer from a Web browser such as Internet Explorer or FireFox.

The Web installer creates log files whenever the Web installer is operating. While the installation processes are operating, the log files are located in a session-based directory under the /var/tmp directory. After the install process completes, the log files are located in the /opt/VRTS/install/logs directory. It is recommended that you keep these files for auditing, debugging, and future use.

The location of the Veritas XPortal Server configuration file is /var/opt/webinstaller/xprtlwid.conf.
