❍ o=NetscapeRoot
Do not modify the contents of the directory under the o=NetscapeRoot
suffix. Either create data under the first suffix or create a new suffix to be
used for this purpose. For details on how to create new suffixes for your
Directory Server, see the Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide.
Using Typical Installation
Most first time installations of Directory Server can be performed using the Typical
Installation option of the
setup program. Typical installation differs slightly
depending on whether you are installing on UNIX or Windows. The following
sections outline the different procedures.
Using Typical Installation on UNIX
To perform a typical installation on UNIX:
1. Log in as root.
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 that you want to unpack.
5. Run the setup program. You can find it in the directory where you untarred
binary files. Issue the following command from the installation directory:
./setup
6.
The setup program asks if you would like to proceed with the setup. Press
Enter to respond with the default (the default for this prompt is Yes) or press
n
if you would like to exit the
setup program.
If you want to log in as
root or superuser (su), you will need to exit the setup
program.
