Installing on Linux

To install Express Server on Linux, complete the following steps:

1. Log on to the machine where you want to install Express Server with root privileges.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer or insert an Express Server installation DVD into your DVD drive.

   If you downloaded the installer from an FTP site, the installer is saved as an ISO file. You may have to mount the ISO file to a local directory.

   NOTE: Ensure that the directory from which you install Express Server does not contain spaces or special characters.

3. Navigate to the Linux64 directory.

4. Run the installation shell script.

   For example, you might run the following command:

   ./install.sh

5. The installer prompts you to complete the following tasks:

   • Accept the License Agreement.
   • Enter whether you want to install the JPIP component. For more information on the JPIP Server, see JPIP Overview.

   • Enter the directory where you want to install Express Server. By default, Express Server is installed in the following directory:

     /opt/LizardTech

   • Enter the name of a user that Express Server can use to run LizardTech services.
   • Enter whether you want the Express Server to integrate with an existing installation of Apache. If you allow the installer to integrate with Apache, the installer modifies the Apache configuration file, httpd.conf, to point to the Express Server configuration file for Apache. For more information on integrating with Apache, see Configuring Apache.
   • Enter the location of the Java Runtime Environment.
   • Enter the server name of the machine where you are installing Express Server.
   • Enter the ports that you want Express Server to use. For the HTTPS port, enter an available port on the server that you can use to access Express Server web applications, including the Express Server Manager and ExpressZip. For the RMI Port port, enter an available port that Express Server can use internally to communicate between the Administrator Backend service and the Tomcat service (the service that runs the Express Server Manager and ExpressZip).
   • Restart the web server service.
