Pre-installation tasks

Before you install Enterprise Portal, you must:

  1. Verify that there is a “.” (dot) in the PATH environment variable.

  2. Verify that you have write permission on your login home directory, the directory where you install the software, and the /tmp directory.

  3. Verify that you have 928MB free space in your temporary directory; otherwise, the installation fails.

    If you do not have enough space in your /tmp directory, redirect the installer to use a different directory for temporary space.

    NoteThe temporary directory to which you are redirecting must exist before you set the environment variable.

    To redirect your temporary directory, enter:

    ./EPLinuxSetup -is:tempdir /work/tmp
    

    where /work/tmp is the directory of your choice.

  4. Verify the Adaptive Server Enterprise’s shared memory is equal to the memory available on the machine where you are installing it.

  5. Verify the fully qualified host name, is in the /etc/hosts file. For example:

    123.123.111.123 machine.sybase.com
