To start the web-based installer

1. Start the Veritas XPortal Server process xprtlwid, on the installation server:

   # ./webinstaller start

   The webinstaller script displays a URL. Note this URL.

   Note:

   If you do not see the URL, please check your firewall and iptables settings. If you have configured a firewall, ensure that the firewall settings allow access to the port 14172. You can alternatively use the -port option to use a free port instead.

   You can use the following command to display the details about ports used by webinstaller and its status:

   # ./webinstaller status

2. On the administrative server, start the web browser.
3. Navigate to the URL that the script displayed.
4. Certain browsers may display the following message:

   Secure Connection Failed

   Obtain a security exception for your browser.

   When you are prompted, enter root and root's password of the installation server.

5. Log in as superuser.
