Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite Linux Installation Guide 15
2 Server Installation
Overview
This chapter contains the information for installing Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite on the Linux
server. In addition to basic installation instructions, there are steps you can take before and after
installation to make sure Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite functions correctly.
Before You Install
Complete the following tasks before you install the software:
! If you have a previous release of Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite running on a Linux server,
you must first uninstall that version before installing a new release. For instructions to
uninstall an existing Linux version of Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite, refer to “Uninstalling
an Existing Linux Version of Intellisync Mobile Suite” on page 16
! Read the Release Notes document on the Nokia Support Web site
(http:// support.nokia.com) for important information about installing this version of
Intellisync Mobile Suite.
! Using the requirements in Chapter 1, “Introduction and Requirements,” verify all
prerequisite software is installed and functioning properly.
! Because the installer runs in graphical mode, you must have an X server running during
installation. If you do not have X installed on your server, you can use X forwarding to
install it. To enable X forwarding, use the following command:
desktop1:/root# sh -X root@server1
For example, if you have X installed on desktop1, but not on server1, log on to the desktop
in graphical mode, start
xterm (or your preferred terminal program), and then log on to the
server using the -X option. Then start the installer using the following commands:
server1:/root# cd download/gms
server1:/root/download/gms# sh ims.bin
! Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite does not modify any Web site during the installation process
(except to stop it). The Web site used by Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite should be the only
site running on the server, and this site should not be used by another Web site.
! The installation instructions in this document are based on the assumption that you
downloaded the installation files to
/root/download/gms
.
