Software Environment Requirements
Listed below are the requirements for installing a Brightmail Control Center.
•
Root access
using
su
or
sudo
(on UNIX only)
•
GNU tar
(on Solaris only) Because the tar file names exceed the 40 character file
name limit of native Solaris tar, GNU tar is required to install Symantec Brightmail
AntiSpam. GNU tar for Solaris is available from
http://www.sunfreeware.com
and
other web sites.
•
MySQL User and Group definitions (UNIX only)
If you are using the MySQL database packaged with the Brightmail Control Center,
create a UNIX user called mysql in a group called mysql before installing the
Brightmail Control Center on Linux or Solaris. If you don't, the Installer won't be able
to start the MySQL daemon. No special permissions are required for the mysql user or
group.
To create this user and group on Solaris:
To create this user and group on Linux:
•
82 MB of free disk space
for the installed files
•
230 MB of free
/tmp
disk space
for use during installation (UNIX only)
You can set the environment variable
IATEMPDIR
to an alternate temporary storage
directory if your
/tmp
directory does not have enough space.
•
Only
one installation of Control Center
per customer.
