Installing Web Ten

Before You Begin

Check your Macintosh	Web Ten is a native Power Macintosh application. It runs only on Power Macintosh computers.
Check Memory and Disk Space	We recommend 32MB physical RAM or more for best performance. Web Ten dynamically allocates the memory it needs from the System heap, so it is not necessary to increase the size of the Web Ten application heap. We also recommend running with VM turned on, even if you don't need the extra virtual memory. When VM is turned on, portions of the application are dynamically loaded, reducing Web Ten 's total memory requirements. Web Ten requires about 53 Mbytes of disk space. Additional space will be required, depending upon the amount of Web content you publish.
Check your Networking	Before launching Web Ten for the first time, verify that your Macintosh network settings are correct. Before running Web Ten , ensure that your OpenTransport settings work for other Macintosh applications before running Web Ten . Web Ten cannot correct erroneous OpenTransport settings.
Check for Name Service	Web Ten expects Domain Name Service for normal operation. Verify via the TCP/IP control panel that your Macintosh is properly configured for access to a Domain Name Server. See section See Domain Name System (DNS) for more information about DNS.

Re-Installing

This step is important even when re-installing the same version of Web Ten . These libraries may have been reorganized (by toggling the Replace OpenTransport setting in the Preferences window). Installing a new version on top of a reorganized version may result in an invalid organization.

Site-specific content files located in the WebTen folder or any of its sub-folders should be preserved before de-installing the old WebTen folder.

Customizations made via the Web Ten Administration Server naturally will need to be re-entered once the new version is installed. Please note all such customizations before de-installing the old WebTen folder.

Leave the WebTen Preferences file in place to preserve Web Ten 's TCP/IP networking settings.

User and Group lists can be preserved by exporting them from the old installation and importing them back into the new installation. See section See Import and Export for more information.
