3.2. Express Setup
Use express installation if you are installing Directory Server for an evaluation or trial. Because express
installation does not offer the choice of selecting the Directory Server server port number or the directory
suffix, among other settings, Red Hat recommends not using it for production deployments.
NOTE
The Directory Server requires the fully-qualified domain name to set up the servers, as described
in Section 1.2.1, “Resolving the Fully-qualified Domain Name”. T he setup script uses the system's
gethostname() function to obtain the hostname (such as ldap) and the /etc/resolv.conf
file to identify the domain name (such as example.com ).
Therefore, if there are aliases in the /etc/hosts file that do not match the specified domains in
the /etc/resolv.conf settings, the setup script cannot correctly generate the fully-qualified
domain name as it is used by DNS, and the default options in the prompts are wrong.
WARNING
If Directory Server is already installed on your machine, it is extremely important that you perform
a migration, not a fresh installation. Migration is described in Chapter 5, Migrating from Previous
Versions.
1. After the Directory Server packages are installed as described in Section 3.1, “Installing the
Directory Server Packages”, then launch the setup-ds-adm in.pl script.
# /usr/sbin/setup-ds-adm in.pl
This script allows parameters to be passed with it or to specify configuration files to use. The
options are described more in Section 1.3, “About the setup-ds-admin.pl Script”.
