However, with Indiana distribution - also known as OpenSolaris 2008.xx , you will need to download the packages again every time with every zone. > So, if you are running OpenSolaris, build a zone, and zlogin to the > zone, and do a pkg install <package> from within the zone, apache is > SUNWapch22, I don't know what the CoolStack is called now, but I use > one called amp-dev.

If you are interested in seeing what amp or amp-dev brings to your system, you can check it out by reading /var/pkg/pkg/amp-dev/0.5.11*/manifest Cool Stack is an effort within Sun to port all the web related components for Solaris 10. This was not a supported effort. Based on the interests seen in Cool Stack, a supported effort known as Sun Glassfish Web Stack for Solaris 10 platforms. However, on OpenSolaris - Web Stack project integrates all these components as part of OpenSolaris OS itself. So, downloading from pkg repo is the standard practice in this environment.
