An email is sent to the email address you provide on the registration form - this email contains a link to the KnowledgeTree website Commercial download page, where you will find install packages for all KnowledgeTree Commercial components, including the KnowledgeTree Server installer - the instructions for the KnowledgeTree server installation are provided in this procedure. |

| 4.3. | Accept the default port for the Apache Web Server (port 80), or specify a different port; then, click Next to open Enabling SSL support. |
Note: The KnowledgeTree Stack Installers install Apache and MySQL. From
KnowledgeTree 3.5, the default port for the Apache installation depends on
the security level of the user performing the installation:
| • | When users with administrator or root privileges perform the installation, the installer selects port 80 as the default port. |
| • | When users without administrator or root privileges perform the installation, the installer selects port 8080 as the default port. |
| 4.4. | To install SSL support, select Yes; then, click Next to define the name of your Web server and the number of days validity. The installer generates a certificate. Click Next. Alternatively, select No to skip this step; then, click Next. |
Note: This is an optional task, which may be configured manually after installing. For
more information on manually configuring SSL for your environment, see the
KnowledgeTree Administrator Manual.
| 4.5. | On MySQL Information, accept the default port for the MySQL Server (port 3306), or specify a different port; then, click Next to open the Database Server Root Password page. |
Note: You will need to define an alternative port if you get a message that the
system can't bind to the default ports - 3306 for MySQL; 80 or 8080 for Apache.
| 4.6. | Enter a root password for MySQL Server. Repeat the password; then, click Next to open the Database Server User Password page. |
Note: Passwords defined during installation are used only to access the MySQL
