Installing ListManager on Unix
ListManager for Unix works with PostgreSQL 7.3.2 and Oracle 8i/9i, but does not include a database as part of the installer. Before you install ListManager on Unix, you will need to have a database server already installed, and client software installed on the ListManager server if it will be connecting to the database remotely.
Many versions of Linux include an RPM for PostgreSQL 7.1 on the CD ROM that you bought. Alternatively,
you can download the latest Linux RPM or build from the PostgreSQL source code, available at no cost at
http://www.postgresql.org/ .
Note that versions earlier than 7.1 of PostgreSQL will not work with ListManager.
If you are planning on running ListManager on Solaris and want to use PostgreSQL, we recommend that
you build PostgreSQL from the source code, which is very easy, and will take about 15 minutes. See PostgreSQL
and ListManager (Unix) or Upgrading to PostgreSQL 7.3
for more information.
Red Hat offers a commercial version of PostgreSQL which they have tested and provide extensive technical
support for. For more information, see http://www.redhat.com/software/database/
Once you have installed and configured your database (and the client tools if necessary), read Having
Sendmail coexist with ListManager and decide whether or not you want to have sendmail and ListManager
coexist on your machine. If you are using Qmail, read Having
Qmail coexist with ListManager.
Next, install ListManager by running the installation program, "install_lm.pl".
If you have previously installed ListManager, you should still run the "install_lm.pl" program. It will ask you if you are upgrading an existing copy of ListManager, and if you answer yes, will automatically upgrade your ListManager installation for you.
See General Installation Instructions for general information about installing ListManager on all platforms and database servers.
