Internet Express for Tru64 UNIX Version 6.8 Installation Guide (14234)

Note:
The kernel subsystem attribute settings described in Tuning Tru64 UNIX for Internet Servers are
meant for use on systems that are primarily used as Web servers (or other servers that handle a
large number of connections, such as a proxy/caching server, mail server, news server, or FTP
server) and that are configured with an adequate amount of RAM. In some cases, settings that
differ from those recommended in this document could improve the performance of a Web
service. Only a knowledgable Tru64 UNIX system administrator should modify kernel subsystem
attributes.
2.13 Specifying a Mail Forwarding Address for the iass Account
The installation procedure determines whether a mail forwarding address exists for the iass
account. If the mail forwarding address field is blank, it has not been set and the current mail
forwarding address for the iass account is displayed.
You can change the mail forwarding address or accept the currently specified address. Leave
the field blank if you do not want to forward messages mailed to the iass account.
Click on Submit to continue the installation.
2.14 Checking /usr/local Directories
The installation procedure checks to ensure that /usr/local/ directories are local (not NFS
mounted) and have write permission for root.
If the directories do not have write permission for root, you must correct this condition before
continuing with the installation. To exit the installation, click on Cancel.
If the directories are not local, the installation procedure warns you that the /usr/local/ file
system should not be shared with other systems. The procedure gives you a chance to correct
the problem, continue the installation without making any changes, or exit the installation.
Click on Submit to continue the installation.
2.15 Creating /data and /data/spool Directories
The installation procedure prompts you for information about the Internet Express /data
directory. The /data directory contains the default public Web server document root, the user
accounts created by Internet Express(for example, /data/IASS_Usr/users/sarah), log
directories, and so on.
Note:
If you are updating a previously installed version of Internet Express, the IASS user directories
might have been created under /data/Lkr_Usr_. If this directory exists, it remains as is. Any
new user accounts that are created after Internet Express Version 6.7for Tru64 UNIX is installed
will be added to this directory.
When the installation procedure creates a /data directory, it displays a series of forms that you
use to make the following choices:
1. Choose one of the following file systems:
• Create a link to an existing file system on a partition other than root.
• Create a UNIX File System (UFS) partition. (This is the default if the Advanced File
System (AdvFS) is not supported on your system.)
• Create an AdvFS partition. (This is the default if AdvFS is supported on your system.)
Choose the appropriate file system and click on Continue.
