2.6.2. Installation using the zip package

Installing the zip package requires root access and the GNU version of tar.

The package should be uncompressed inside the /opt directory since the post installation script will not run if installation occurs within a different location.

cd /opt
unzip -q RHATews-1.0.0*-solaris10-i386.zip

cd /opt
unzip -q RHATews-1.0.0*-solaris10-i386.zip

Once extraction of the archive has completed, the post install script must be run in order to setup the user accounts and final directories with required access privileges.

This is achieved with the following commands:

cd /opt/redhat/ews/etc
sh .postinstall

cd /opt/redhat/ews/etc
sh .postinstall

Once the post install process has been completed, the users and groups apache with an ID of 48 and tomcat with an ID of 91, will have been created. The apache user will be used to run httpd, while the tomcat user will be used to run tomcat.

In addition, the post install process will also create the following additional directories that the tomcat group has write permission to:
