Installation guide

1. Insert the Solaris Documentation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Log in as root on the document server machine and change directory to the
location of the installation packages.
For example, the path to the server software packages for a SPARC server might
look like the following:
#cdcdrom/Solaris_2.6_Doc/sparc/Product/
where cdrom is the mount-point for the CD-ROM device.
3. Use the pkgadd utility or the swmtool utility and select the following server
software packages:
SUNWab2r (0.02 Megabytes)—Installs in root partition and provides
configuration and start-up files.
SUNWab2s (0.21 Megabytes)—Provides shared files for performing document
processing.
SUNWab2u (21.02 Megabytes)—Provides executable and back-end processing
files for server and administration functions.
Note - To install the server packages into a non-default directory, use the
following command: # pkgadd −d.−a none. This causes the pkgadd utility
to prompt you for the directory into which you want the software installed.
4. Start up the server, if needed.
Installing the packages should cause the server to start up on the default port of
8888. If it does not start, use the following command to start it:
# /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o start
5. Install the book collections.
Your document server cannot do its job if no documents are installed for it to
serve. You can install collections from the Solaris 2.6 Documentation CD or from
other locations, such as existing document collections or collections that come
with other products. Table 9–4 lists the document collections available on the
Solaris 2.6 Documentation CD.
