1 Create a directory holding the installation sources as described in
"Setting Up an NFS Installation Source Manually"
2 Configure the HTTP server to distribute the contents of your installation directory:
2a Install the Web server Apache.
2b Enter the root directory of the HTTP server (/srv/www/htdocs) and
create a subdirectory that will hold the installation sources:
mkdir instsource
Replace instsource with the product name.
2c Create a symbolic link from the location of the installation sources to the
root directory of the Web server (/srv/www/htdocs):
ln -s /path_instsource /srv/www/htdocs/instsource
2d Modify the configuration file of the HTTP server (/etc/apache2/
default-server.conf) to make it follow symbolic links. Replace the
following line:
Options None
with
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
2e Reload the HTTP server configuration using rcapache2 reload.
3 Announce the installation source via OpenSLP, if this is supported by your net-
work setup:
3a Create a configuration file called install.suse.http.reg under
/etc/slp.reg.d/ that contains the following lines:
# Register the HTTP Installation Server
service:install.suse:http://$HOSTNAME/srv/www/htdocs/instsource/CD1/,en,65535
