Installing Contribute Publishing Server (Optional)

The Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) installers give you two options for installing CPS, depending on your server

environment:

•

Simple Installation is for systems that do not already have a Java application server installed. This installation

includes a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and JRun 4 server for use with CPS.

For more information, see “Installing Contribute Publishing Server using the Simple Installation” on page 23

.

•

WAR File Installation is for systems that have a Java application server already installed.

For more information, see “Installing Contribute Publishing Server by using the WAR File Installation” on page 25.

If your platform does not have an installer, you can download a WAR file and associated data files, and then follow

the WAR File Installation process to install CPS.

Note:

If your platform does not have an installer, and you need to perform the WAR file installation but do not have a

Java application server, you can download a trial version of the JRun 4 server with limited licensing capabilities. For

more information, see the Adobe website at

www.adobe.com

.

Software requirements

Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) is a J2EE web application that you can install as a Web Application Archive

(WAR) file onto any supported Java Application Server.

You can install CPS as an integrated Java application server that includes Adobe® JRun™ 4.0, or as a WAR file that you

deploy onto an existing Java application server.

Install CPS on its own server in a firewall-protected network. When using the User Directory service, CPS stores

information to authenticate user access to web servers in your IT environment. For this reason, follow security

procedures appropriate to any other application server you might install in your infrastructure.

For a list of the minimum hardware and software configurations required to successfully operate CPS, see

http://www.adobe.com/products/contribute/productinfo/systemreqs/

.

Installing Contribute Publishing Server using the Simple Installation

The Simple Installation for CPS enables you to install a preconfigured Java application server that includes CPS. This

installation is recommended if you don’t have an existing Java application server.
