Chapter 3.
Using Express and Typical Installation
This chapter describes how to perform basic installation activities. This chapter contains the following
sections:
• Section 3.1 Installing on Solaris and HP-UX using an Express Installation
• Section 3.2 Installing on Solaris and HP-UX using a Typical Installation
• Section 3.4 Installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Using a Typical Installation.
3.1. Installing on Solaris and HP-UX using an Express
Installation
Use express installation if you are installing Directory Server to evaluate or test the product. Because
express installation does not offer you the choice of selecting your server port number or your direc-
tory suffix, you should not use it for production installations.
To perform an express installation, do the following:
1. Log in as root (root login is required for express installation).
2. Create a new directory:
mkdir ds
cd ds
3. If you have not already done so, download the product binaries file to the installation directory.
4. Unpack the product binaries file using the following command:
gunzip -dc filename.tar.gz | tar -xvof -
where filename corresponds to the product binaries you want to unpack.
5. Run the setup program. You can find it in the directory in which you untarred or unzipped the
binary files.
6. Issue the following command:
./setup
7. You will need to download a copy of the JRE for use with Directory Server. When asked for the
location of the unpackaged JRE, enter the full path to the location of your downloaded JRE. See
Section 2.3.6 Installing the JRE.
8. Once the JRE is installed, dsktune will run, providing valuable host-tuning information. Enter
yes once the machine has been tuned.
9. Select [yes] to continue with installation, then select yes to agree to the license.
10. When you are asked what you would like to install, select the default, Red Hat Servers.
11. When you are asked what type of installation you would like to perform, select Express Instal-
lation.
12. For the server root or destination directory, enter a full path to the location where you want to
install your server.
The location that you enter must be some directory other than the directory from which you
are running the setup program. Also, the name of the directory where you install files must not
