CGatePro-Win32-Intel.zip

Installing on a MS Windows NT/9x System

• Use any "unzip"-type tool to unpack the CGatePro-Win32-Intel-version.zip file. The tool should be able to use long file names.
• Some "unzip" applications have the Install option, use that option if available. If the Install option is not available, unpack the archive. The unpacked directory should contain the CommuniGate Pro application folder and the Installer.exe application. Launch the Installer.exe application.
• If the CommuniGate Pro software is running, the Installer asks your permission to stop it.
• The Installer asks you where to place the CommuniGate Pro application folder, and where to create the "base" directory. If a previous version of CommuniGate Pro has been already installed, the Installer shows the locations used, and the Install button is renamed into the Update button.
• Click the Install/Update button to copy the CommuniGate Pro software into the selected location. If the CommuniGate "base" folder does not exist, the Installer creates an empty folder in the selected location.
• The information about the selected locations is stored in the System Registry.

  Windows NT

  The CommuniGate Pro Messaging Server (the CGStarter.exe application) is registered as a service that starts automatically when the system starts. This small application starts the CommuniGate Server itself, the CGServer.exe application. The Installer asks if you want to start the server now.

  Note:your should use the Services control panel to verify or change the Log On as name for the CommuniGate Pro service. That name should have the Act as part of the operating system Windows NT privilege. If the CommuniGate Pro Server does not have this privilege, not only it will fail to authenticate users using the Windows NT password system, but an attempt to use an incorrect password may cause the server to crash. This problem is fixed in the Windows NT Service Pack 4.

  Note:if your server should serve 100 accounts or more, check the description of the TIME_WAIT problem and follow the instructions to decrease the NT TIME_WAIT time interval.

  Windows 95/98

  The CommuniGate Pro (the CGServer.exe application) is added to the RunServices Registry key, so the server is started up when the system starts. Restart the Windows 9x system to start the server.

  Note:Unlike Windows 98, the Windows 95 system does not have the "WinSock2" libarary installed. Download this library (.dll) from the http://www.microsoft.com and install it before you try to launch the CommuniGate Pro Server.

• Launch the Server and proceed with Initial Configuration.

You can also start the CommuniGate Pro server manually, as a "console application", by launching the CGServer.exe file. If started without parameters, the Server creates the C:\CommuniGatePro folder and uses it as its "base" folder". If you want to use any other location, use the --Base command line parameter:
CGServer.exe --Base D:\OtherDirectory

Installing on an SCO UnixWare System.

• Make sure that UnixWare 7.1 or better is installed.
• Log in as a super-user (root).
• Unpack the CommuniGate Pro archive with the gunzip and tar commands):
    gunzip CGatePro-UnixWare-version.tar.gz
    tar -xpf CGatePro-UnixWare-version.tar
• Install the CommuniGate Pro package:
    pkgadd -d `pwd`
  The CommuniGate Pro software will be installed in the /usr/local/sbin directory.
• If your system was running sendmail or any other SMTP server, stop that server and modify the OS start-up scripts so the system will not start that other SMTP server automatically.
• If your system was running POP,IMAP, or poppwd servers, remove the lines describing those servers from the /etc/inetd.conf file.
• The Installer creates a symbolic link /bin/cgmail for the command line mode mail program to use with the CommuniGate Pro system.
• The Installer creates a startup script /etc/init.d/STLKCGPro, and the symbolic link /etc/rc2.d/S88CommuniGate for that script.
• The Installer creates the "base directory" /var/CommuniGate and the Server uses it by default. You can move the "base directory" to any other location. In this case, open the /etc/init.d/STLKCGPro file and update it.
• Restart the system or launch the start-up script manually:
    /etc/init.d/STLKCGPro start
• Proceed with Initial Configuration.
  Note: UnixWare 7.1.0 has a very small per process limit for open listeners. To avoid the problem, the CommuniGate Pro ACAP server is disabled by default, and the LDAP server does not create a listener to accept secure connections. Do not try to create additional listeners before this limit is increased.
