Content Delivery pre-installation and upgrade settings

Making sure a list of configuration or variables are set correctly before the installation will make the operation considerably smoother.

  • Any user who install or update Content Delivery must have administrator rights.
  • For any non-bundled installation, make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the installation path for the Java SE Development Kit. Ex: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk<version_number>.
  • For any non-bundled installation, make sure that the JRE_HOME environment variable is set to the installation path for the Java SE Runtime Environment. Ex: C:\Program Files\Java\jre<version_number>.
  • For any non-bundled installation, make sure that the %JAVA_HOME% path and the Apache Tomcat JVM path are synchronized. For example:
    Apache Tomcat JVMJAVA_HOME env. var.
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60
  • For any non-bundled installation on Windows, make sure that Java's java.library.path property has a value that includes C:\Windows.
