Follow the steps below to install CCS as. These steps assume you are installing CCS as root. While it is recommended that you install CCS as the root user, there are instructions provided below on Installing CCS as the non-root User.
The CCS installation script reconfigures an existing iPlanet server instance so that the server instance can successfully run CCS. A script, <CCS Root Directory>/Cisco_CS/bin/restoreConfig, is provided to restore an iPlanet server instance to its original (pre-CCS install) configuration. Although iPlanet allows for multiple product installations under a single server instance, Cisco does not recommend installing any other products on the same instance that contains your CCS server.
1. |
Verify that your system meets the hardware and software requirements as described in the Requirements section of this document. |
2. |
Insert and mount the CD, then change directory to the Cisco_CS_Build# directory on the CD. For example: cd /cdrom/Cisco_CS*/Cisco_CS |
3. |
Run the CCS install script with the command: ./install |
|
A list of requirements is displayed on the screen. Press Enter to continue once you have verified you have met the requirements. |
|
The install script asks for the root directory of the iPlanet server
installation. The script detects the directory and displays it on the
screen. If this is the correct directory then press <Enter> to continue,
otherwise enter the correct path for the root directory of the iPlanet
server installation, then press <Enter> to continue. |
|
|
|
The install script asks which iPlanet server instance it should use for the CCS installation. The available iPlanet server instances are listed. Choose the instance on which you want to run CCS by typing the number of the server instance and pressing the <Enter> key. Note that you must have permission to write files into this directory to install normally. If you do not have permission to write to this directory, then the installation program provides a command that must be run by a user with write-capable permissions to this directory, after the installation program has exited. |
|
The install script asks you to specify the root directory for your new CCS installation (<CCS Root Directory>). The directory one directory up from the <CCS Install Directory> is the default location. You can press <Enter> to accept the default location, or you can type in an absolute or a relative path for the <CCS Root Directory>. If you type in a name for your <CCS Root Directory> using a relative path, then the script installs CCS into that path under the <CCS Install Directory>. If you do not want to use a directory under the <CCS Install Directory>, you must specify an absolute path. If the install script detects that the directory you specified does
not exist, it will ask for confirmation to create it. Type in "y" or just press <Enter>
key to confirm the creation of the directory and continue. If you select
"N", then the install script aborts and CCS is not installed. |
|
In this step you are given the chance to change the group ownership of the CCS files. Note that you must also be root if you want to change the group permissions if the group ownership that you want to bestow upon the files is not one of your groups. A warning is displayed if the your permissions are different than those of the iPlanet server-instance owner's permissions. The script provides a command that must be executed by a user with the correct permissions after the install script has run. Make note of this command as you need to run it as root after the install completes. Press <Enter> to continue. |
|
Select the number of the database you are using and press <Enter>. |
|
You are prompted for a JDBC driver location. If you know the location of your Sybase or Oracle JDBC drivers, you can specify them here. If you do not have any JDBC drivers installed on your system, then choose the default location for the JDBC driver of the database you are going to use, then consult the "Installing Database Drivers" information in the next section of this document. If you are using Microsoft SQL 2000 as your database, you are not be prompted for a location. The CCS installation program automatically install the drivers required for MS SQL databases. NOTE: The default location for the drivers is in a directory under the Cisco_CS directory. The Cisco_CS directory is created during the install. You cannot place any driver files in that location until the installation has finished. See the "Installing Database Drivers" section for complete details. |
|
If the install script detects that the compress utility 'gzip' needs to be installed on the machine, it will prompt for selecting packages to process. Just press <Enter> to accept the default. Note: If 'gzip' is already installed in the directory /usr/local/bin, the install script will skip the installation of 'gzip'.However, if 'gzip' was installed on the machine but not at /usr/local/bin, then the install script exits. You must then set up a symbolic link for gzip and rerun the install script. For example, if 'gzip' was installed in /bin directory, you need to run the command (with "root" privilege): ln -s /bin/gzip /usr/local/bin/gzip |
|
The install script extracts and installs CCS and the CCS directory structure
is put in <CCS Root Directory>. If the install script detects that
a Cisco_CS directory already exists in that location, then it will rename
the old Cisco_CS tree to Cisco_CS.'timestamp'. Where timestamp is the
current Unix timestamp. |
|
Finally, the install script asks if you want to delete the Cisco Collaboration
Server source file (wl40_xxx.tar). Press <Enter> or type in "y" to allow install script to delete
it. If you select not to delete the source file, it will be kept in the
current directory. Its size is about 60 megabytes. |
Note: The install script generates a log file'installwl40.log' which is located in the current directory. The log file records all the steps taken by the install script. If you encounter errors you can review this file to help you track down any problems. |
Caution: Do not reboot the server before installing the FLEXlm license key. Follow the instructions under Installing the CCS FLEXlm License.
1. |
Locate the Product Authorization Key
(software serial number) on the back of your Collaboration CD. |
2. |
In a Web browser, open the Cisco Software Registration Web page. |
3. |
On the Software Registration page, select Cisco
Collaboration Server from the list of software forms. |
4. |
Follow the instructions on the Collaboration Server registration page.
When you
have completed the form and entered your Product Authorization Key, a
license file with the extension .lic
will be sent to your email address. |
5. |
Copy the <CCS license>.lic
file to the <CCS install dir>/license
directory. |
6. |
Reboot the server. |
To install a pre-existing or additional FLEXlm license file:
1. |
Rename the file (if necessary) to avoid overwriting existing files in
the license directory. |
2. |
Copy the license file (.lic)
into the <CCS install dir>/license
directory. |
3. |
Reboot the server. |
Do not overwrite .lic files in the license directory. Collaboration will calculate your licensed seats based on all .lic files in the license directory. Note: Copying
the license file within the <CCS install
dir>/license directory will not add seats to your existing license(s).
Collaboration
will ignore duplicate files. |
