2.3 Installing a UNIX Server

Create a directory on the server to hold the AcuServer software. We recommend that you install AcuServer directly into the ACUCOBOL-GT home directory.

Change directory ("cd") into the target directory and extract the AcuServer software as described on the Getting Started card that came with your product.

Follow the instructions on the card, entering your product code and product key when prompted.

If you want to use the server configuration file in its default location, move "etc/a_srvcfg" into the "/etc" directory. This may require root or superuser privileges. The server configuration file does not need to reside in its default location, but if the file is located elsewhere, the name and location of the configuration file must be specified with the "-c" option each time acuserve is started. Regardless of where the server configuration file is located, the file must not be writeable by anyone other than root for AcuServer to function. For more information about server configuration, see section 5.4, "Starting and Stopping acuserve."

AcuServer is now fully installed and ready for configuration on the UNIX server. See section 4.1, "Configuring AcuServer," for the settings that can be configured for the server.
