Installing multiple Application Servers using setup

Question

Hi there,
I successfully installed SunONE application Server on my machine. I wish to install a completely new Application Server in a different directory, however using the setup GUI - when I get to the "Select Components" screen, all options are greyed out and I cannot continue.
I have already created a new domain in the original install and deleted the default "domain1" domain, however it seems that there can only be one installation of Appserver 7.0 on a machine.
Is this correct?
If not, how do I install this a second time?
Regards
Brian.

With the full version of the product (non evaluation copy) that installs as root on your unix environment, you can only have one install image. That is not a problem it is designed that way.
You can have as many admin domains as you wish on a server. With the PE version, you can only have one instance per domain. With the SE version this restriction is lifted. You can put those domains anywhere you want and have them owned by any user (as long as asadmin create-domain is run as root)
For assistance you and get help from asadmin:
# ./asadmin help create-domain
