Before reinstalling Enterprise Portal, it is recommended that you first perform the uninstallation. See Chapter 5, “Uninstalling Enterprise Portal 6.0.”
You can perform two different types of reinstallation:
Reinstall – uses the previous choices for the selection of the application server, database, and Portal Search. Replaces the existing Enterprise Portal files, database objects, and the application server Enterprise Portal components. An application server, database server and/or search engine can be installed or reinstalled.
Custom reinstall – allows you to re-select the application server, database, and Portal Search. Replaces the existing Enterprise Portal files, the Enterprise Portal database objects and the application server Enterprise Portal components.
Performing the reinstallation
Close any open applications or utilities.
Insert the CD labeled Sybase Enterprise Portal 6.0 in the CD drive. If the installer does not start automatically, launch the installer from the command line by entering:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
./EPSetup
If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to make sure the ISO 9660 option is turned on.
Once the installer launches, in the first window, click “Here” to view the Release Bulletin. Click Next.
In the End-user License Agreement window, from the drop-down menu, select the geographical location where the software is being installed.
The license agreement appears in the window.
Read the license agreement, and select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” Click Next.
In the next window, enter the name of the root directory where you previously installed Enterprise Portal, or use the Browse button to select the previous installation location of Enterprise Portal.
In the installation type window, select Reinstall, and click Next.
In the next window, enter the connection information for the EAServer originally used to deploy Enterprise Portal 6.0.
Select the installation location of the EAServer you want to use. Or, you can select “Specify Manually” to enter the installation location of EAServer manually.
Once you select the EAServer, these fields are filled in automatically:
Server – the name of the existing EAServer. By default, this is “Jaguar.”
Host Name or IP Address – the name of the machine where EAServer is installed.

Click Next if all the information entered is correct.
The next window says the installer has detected a previous installation of Enterprise Security and asks if you want to reinstall Enterprise Security if it is required.
Select Yes, and click Next.
In the next window, enter the connection information for the database your current installation of Enterprise Portal is using:

The next window says the installer has detected a previous installation of Portal Search and asks if you want to upgrade Portal Search. If you are using Portal Search, select Yes.
If you are not using Portal Search or do not want to upgrade the existing Portal Search, select No.
Click Next.
In the next window, the machine name and domain of the Enterprise Portal installation are filled in. If the information is not correct, enter the machine name and domain of the Enterprise Portal installation machine. For example, if your computer is named “mycomputer” and your domain is “sybase.com,” enter:
