Installation Privileges

Upgrade Process

Directory Server 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 software from the web site, you will need to
unpack it before beginning installation.
Create a new directory for the installation:
1.
# mkdir ds
# cd ds
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 filename corresponds to the product binaries that you want to unpack.
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.
