Symantec recommends using either IIS or Apache Server for hosting the distribution center locations. Please refer to the operating system's documentation for additional information.
To install the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator, the user must log on as a power user with Administrator privileges. The logged on user must be able to create new local users, and to create new services.
By default, the following ports are used by the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator.
- 7070 - Used by the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator.
- 7071 - Used by Tomcat for shutdown commands. While the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator will work if this port is closed, Tomcat shutdown operations will not.
- 7072 - Used by PostgreSQL database.
If these ports are being used by other applications when installing the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator, the installer will prompt for alternate port numbers that the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator can use.
If a firewall is enabled for IP packets sent from the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator system, destination IP ports such as HTTP (80), HTTPS(443), and FTP(21), should be allowed for communication.
The Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator communicates with the Distribution Centers using these ports.
Problems may occur while using a Terminal Service for installation. Install the Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator directly from the console.
Note: Ensure that MSVCR71.DLL is in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. Copy this file from C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_0X\bin if it is not present.
The Tomcat service may not load if this file is not present in the system32 folder.
