Installing ListManager on Linux or Solaris -- Overview
See General Installation Instructions for general information about installing ListManager on all platforms and database servers.
Also see Supported Platforms for supported operating systems and databases. Other operating systems and databases have not been tested, and are not supported.
ListManager for Unix does not include a database as part of the installer. Before you install ListManager
on Linux or Solaris, 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.
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/
After downloading the correct installer for your operating system and database, install ListManager by running the installation program, "install_lm.pl".
Please have the following information ready:
Information about your SQL database (if using your own database, not one included with ListManager):
The name of your SQL machine.
The SQL database server login or user name (blanks allowed for MSSQL with integrated security).
The SQL database password (blanks allowed for MSSQL with integrated security).
The database name.
Whether or not you have a mail server running on the ListManager machine. See Mail Server Coexistence for more information.
What port you'd like the web interface on, if you already have a web server running (Unix only).
Your ListManager serial code. If you don't have a serial code, contact your Lyris account representative at 800-768-2929 or sales@lyris.com.
The email address and password of the server administrator.
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.
