Windows: Installing EMu Server |

EMu 3.1 Install/Upgrade Notes
|
Introduction
EMu is designed to allow multiple installations to coexist. Each installation is placed in a directory within the user emu's home directory. The name of this directory typically reflects the client system being installed. The client name may be any name, thus allowing test and production environments to be set up for the same system. Typically the client name is an acronym for the client organisation. In the notes below client refers to the name of the client directory for the current installation.
The term ~emu is used to refer to the user emu's home directory. This is normally /dev/fs/C/home/emu.
Requirements
Installation Notes (EMu Server - emu)
- Log in to the Windows machine as local user emu
- Start a Korn Shell with Start->Programs->Windows Services for UNIX->Korn Shell
- Enter cd ~emu
- Enter mkdir -p client/install
- Enter cd client/install
- Obtain the appropriate EMu version via the KE EMu Server hyperlink above.
Save the release in ~emu/client/install calling it emu.sh
- Enter sh emu.sh
The EMu release will be extracted.
- Enter . ./.profile
- Enter bin/emuinstall client. The EMu installation script will commence.
As part of the installation you will be prompted to enter the emu password. The password is required for the cron maintenance task scheduler to function correctly.
- Enter cd ~emu/client
- Enter cp .profile.parent ../.profile
- Enter cd ..
- Enter vi .profile-local
- Add a single line client client to the file and save it. If a default client is already registered then you may leave the existing value.
- Enter . ./.profile
- Enter client client
- Enter cd etc
- View the config.sample file.
If you wish to alter some of these settings to suit the client then: Enter cp config.sample config Enter vi config edit as appropriate, then save the file. Be careful to set EMUSMTPSERVER to the hostname of your mail server machine.
- Enter cd ..
- Enter emubldlinks
- Enter emulutsrebuild
- Enter \rm -fr install
In order to allow easier upgrades of Texpress (without having to update the etc/opts file) all Texpress options are now set in the client specific .profile-local file. When installing EMu 3.1 you will have to add all Texpress options required for the installation. In particular the dateorder, dateformat, timeformat, latitudeformat, longitudeformat, tmppath and loadmemory settings should be examined. Please see Texpress options for a list of acceptable values.
- Enter vi .profile-local and add the Texpress options to the file. An example file is:
TEXPRESSOPTS="${TEXPRESSOPTS} dateorder=mdy dateformat='dd MMM yyyy'" export TEXPRESSOPTS
- Enter client client
- Any other client specific setting can be set at this time (eg shell specific settings, etc).
- Enter exit to close the Korn Shell window.
- Log out.
Installation Notes (EMu Server - Administrator)
- Login as Administrator.
- Start a Korn Shell with Start->Programs->Windows Services for UNIX->Korn Shell.
- Enter vi /etc/services
- Add new services to the end of the file and save the file.
Each line must be terminated with a CTRL+M character so that Windows programs interpret the file correctly. To enter a CTRL+M in vi type CTRL+V then CTRL+M. emu 20000/tcp^M emutrain 20001/tcp^M emutest 20002/tcp^M emuweb 30000/tcp^M emuwebtrain 30001/tcp^M emuwebtest 30002/tcp^M You should also add client specific services. To determine the port and webport required please view the KE EMu Ports document. emuclient port/tcp^M (replace port with port number) emuwebclient webport/tcp^M (replace webport with port number)
- Enter vi /etc/inetd.conf
- Add the following line to the end of the file (you must expand [emu]):
emuclient stream tcp nowait NULL /dev/fs/C/home/emu/clientname/bin/emurun emurun texserver -a[emu] -i -L -t60 If you also want the emu service to connect to your emuclient then add the line: emu stream tcp nowait NULL /dev/fs/C/home/emu/clientname/bin/emurun emurun texserver -a[emu] -i -L -t60
- Save the file. You will need to restart inetd for the changes to take effect.
- Enter ps -ef | grep inetd to determine the process id number pid for the inetd process.
- Enter kill -HUP pid.
- Enter cd /etc/rc2.d
- Enter vi S99emu and add the following lines to the file:
#!/bin/sh # # KE EMu startup # PATH=/bin:/usr/contrib/bin case $1 in start) /dev/fs/C/home/emu/clientname/bin/emuboot ;; stop) ;; *) echo "usage: $0 start|stop" ;; esac exit 0
- Save the file.
- Enter chmod 755 S99emu
- Enter ./S99emu start
- Enter exit to close the Korn Shell window.
- In order to test the startup script it is recommended that you reboot the server machine and confirm that all EMu services start correctly.
Output from scripts run when booting is found in /var/adm/log/init.log. Error messages are placed in /var/adm/log/messages.
