8 Chapter 1. Preparing for a Directory Server Installation
1.3.3.2. For tarballs...
If you have obtained Directory Server tarball from the website, you will need to unpack it before
beginning installation.
1. Create a new directory for the installation:
mkdir ds
cd ds
2. Download the product binaries file to the installation directory.
3. Unpack the product binaries file using the following command:
gzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar -xvof -
where filename corresponds to the product binaries that you want to unpack.
1.3.4. Starting the ns-slapd Process
You will need to write an rc script to start the ns-slapd process, as it does not start automatically when
the system boots.
1.4. Installation Privileges
You must install as root if you choose to run the server on a port below 1024, such as the default LDAP
ports: 389 and 636 (LDAP). If you choose port numbers higher than 1024, you can install using any
valid UNIX login.
