That's not entirely true! 9iAS is based on Apache which is the number one web server at the moment.

Installing the database cache appears to be the biggest failing of 9iAS install at the moment (it jams at 16% for OS authentication user problems and 97% with export-import problems), but the install in general is fussy about the pre-requirements being met.

It is also known to take a long time to 'do' things - some people have wandered off when it 'hung' only to find it working when they get back 30 minutes later!
