Requirements¶

For the installation of a LiveConfig server you need:

• “root access” at the server to be installed (via console or SSH)

• about 30 MB free disk space

• a current web browser

Please also check for:

• correct time: you need the correct time on your server - otherwise you might experience problems with SSL certificates, outbound e-mail and validity of the LiveConfig license. We recommend to install the package ntp (Network Time Protocol).

• valid host name & reverse DNS: the server requires a valid host name. Using the command hostname -f you’ll see the complete (fully-qualified) name. This consists of a host name and a domain name.

  Example: for a web server with the name www.example.org, the file /etc/hostname should contain only www; in /etc/hosts there should be a line with <IP address>  <complete name>  <hostname>, in this case ##.##.##.##  www.example.org  www. If everything is configured correctly, the command hostname (without any options) will return just www, and hostname -f will return www.example.org.

  A valid reverse DNS name is especially important if you want to send e-mails with your server. Most mail servers check if the name of the peer mail server matches its reverse DNS name.
