Preface

This installation guide describes the Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 installation process and the migration process. This manual provides detailed step-by-step procedures for all supported operating systems, along with explanations of the different setup options (express, typical, custom, and silent), additional options for Directory Server instance creation, migrating previous versions of Directory Server, and troubleshooting and basic usage.

IMPORTANT

Directory Server 8.0 provides a migration tool for upgrading or migrating from earlier Directory Server versions. If you already have a Directory Server deployment that is supported for migration, you must use the documented migration procedure to migrate your data and configuration to version 8.0. Chapter 8, Migrating from Previous Versions has for more information.

The Directory Server setup process requires information specific to the Directory Server instance being configured, information about the host names, port numbers, passwords, and IP addresses that will be used. The setup program attempts to determine reasonable default values for these settings based on your system environment. Read through this manual before beginning to configure the Directory Server to plan ahead what values to use.

TIP

If you are installing Directory Server for evaluation, use the express or typical setup mode. These processes are very fast, and can help get your directory service up and running quickly.

IMPORTANT

Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 introduces filesystem paths for configuration files, scripts, commands, and database files used with Directory Server which comply with Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). This file layout is very different than previous releases of Directory Server, which installed all of the files and directories in /opt/redhat-dsor /opt/netscape. If you encounter errors during the installation process, look at Section 7, “Troubleshooting”. For more information on how the file layout has changed, see Section 1, “Directory Server File Locations”.

The latest Directory Server release is available for your platform and operating system through Red Hat Network (RHN) at http://rhn.redhat.com/.
