18. The setup program then asks you for the System User and the System Group
names. Enter the identity under which you want the servers to run.
For more information on the user and group names that you should use when
running Netscape servers, see “Deciding the User and Group for Your
Netscape Servers (UNIX only),” on page 14.
19. For the configuration directory, select the default if this directory will host
your
o=NetscapeRoot tree. Otherwise, enter yes. You will then be asked for
the contact information for the configuration directory.
If the server you are currently installing is not the configuration directory, then
the configuration directory must exist before you can continue this installation.
20. The setup program then asks if the server you are currently installing will be
the one for your user data. For most cases, you can select the default. However,
if you intend this server instance to be used as a configuration directory only,
then you should enter
yes.
21. For the Directory Server port, select the default (389) unless you already have
another application using that port.
22. For the Directory Server Identifier, enter a unique value (normally the default
is sufficient).
This value is used as part of the name of the directory in which the Directory
Server instance is installed. For example, if your machine’s host name is
phonebook, then this name is the default, and selecting it will cause the
Directory Server instance to be installed into a directory labeled
slapd-phonebook.
CAUTION The default hostname may be incorrect if the installer cannot locate a
DNS name in your system. For example, you might not have a DNS
name if your system uses NIS.
The hostname must be a fully qualified host and domain name. If
the default hostname is not a fully qualified host and domain
name, installation will fail. Refer to “Common Installation
Problems,” on page 101, for more information about entering a fully
qualified domain name.
CAUTION The Directory Server identifier must not contain a period. For
example,
example.server.com is not a valid server identifier name.
