Jabber XCP Server Installation Guide Installing the Jabber XCP Server Page 20

Beta Version Only

To prepare your system for installation

1. On the machine where you plan to install the Jabber XCP server, change to the super

user:

2. Enter the root password.

3. Create a Jabber user:

useradd jabber

4. Enter a password for the Jabber user.

5. Create a Jabber group:

groupadd jabber

6. Create the directory where you plan to install the server; for example:

mkdir /opt/jabber/XCP_5.2

By default, the server installs in /opt/jabber; however, installing

the server in a version-specific directory makes upgrading in the

future easier. In our examples, we use /opt/jabber/XCP_5.2 for

the Jabber XCP server’s installation directory.

7. Enter the following commands to set the appropriate permissions on

/opt/jabber/XCP_5.2 for the Jabber user:

chown jabber.jabber /opt/jabber/XCP_5.2

chmod 700 /opt/jabber/XCP_5.2

8. Install the Jabber XCP core server as described in the next section.

Installing the Jabber XCP Core Server

Required: You must install the core server package on your primary

Jabber XCP server, even if you plan to distribute your installation by

running selected components on remote servers.

Make sure that the computer on which you install the Jabber XCP

server has a static IP address.
