Chapter 2 Installation
8
2.3 Linux
Kerio Connect is distributed in two RPM or DEB packages which include the server and the
administration console.
The installation must be performed by a user with root rights. Kerio Connect En-
gine is installed to /opt/kerio/mailserver and the Kerio Administration Console to
/opt/kerio/admin.
To install RPM packages, use this command:
# rpm -i <installation_file_name>
In case of the recent versions of the distributions, problems with package dependencies might
occur. In this case, install package compat-libstdc++
To install DEB packages, use this command:
# dpkg -i <installation_file_name.deb>
It is recommended to read carefully the LINUX-README file immediately upon the installation.
The file can be found in
/opt/kerio/mailserver/doc
2.4 Configuration Wizard
Since the identical configuration wizard is used for all operating systems, the following
instructions also apply to all of them:
On Windows and Mac OS X, the configuration wizard is opened automatically upon a successful
installation of Kerio Connect. On Linux, it is necessary to run the wizard by using the following
command:
./cfgwizard
Launch the command from the folder where Kerio Connect is installed (typically
/opt/kerio/mailserver).
Warning: The Kerio Connect Engine must be stopped while the configuration wizard is running.
The following parameters are to be set in the configuration wizard:
1. On the first page, create an email domain (a unique domain identificator which is used
to recognize to which server mail should be delivered. In email addresses, the domain
identificator follows the "at" symbol (@) and enter the server’s Internet hostname. The
Internet name of the server is a DNS hostname where Kerio Connect is installed. Server
names are used for server identification while establishing SMTP traffic.
Warning:If Kerio Connect is running behind NAT, enter the Internet server name that can
be converted to the IP address of the sending server, i.e. the Internet hostname of the
firewall.
2. In the next step of the wizard, create an administration account. Keep the Admin as name
and enter password. Memorize the name and password defined in this dialog well since
they will be later used for authentication to theKerio Connect’s administration console.
