Installation Privileges

Create the directory suffixes and databases. You do not have to populate your
3.
directory now; however, you should create the basic structure for your tree,
including all major roots and branch points. For information about the
different methods of creating a directory entry, refer to the Netscape Directory
Server Administrator's Guide.
Create additional Directory Server instances and set up replication agreements
4.
between your directory servers to ensure availability of your data.

Upgrade Process

Directory Server 6.0 supports migration from previous releases of Directory Server.
The migration process is described in Chapter 6, "Migrating From Previous
Versions."
For information on migrating servers involved in replication agreements, refer to
the Netscape Directory Server Administrator's Guide.

Unpacking the Software

If you have obtained Directory Server 6.0 software from the Netscape web site, you
will need to unpack it before beginning installation.
Create a new directory for the installation:
1.
# mkdir ds6.0
# cd ds6.0
Download the product binaries file to the installation directory.
2.
On UNIX, unpack the product binaries file using the following command:
3.
# gzip -dc
where file_name corresponds to the product binaries that you want to unpack.
On Windows NT and Windows 2000, unzip the product binaries.
Installation Privileges
On UNIX you must install as root if you choose to run the server on a port below
1024, such as the default LDAP ports: 389, and 636 (LDAP over SSL). If you choose
port numbers higher than 1024, you can install using any valid UNIX login. On
Windows NT or Windows 2000 you must run the installation as administrator.
