Hello, Team Basis!

You are not following the procedure described in note 664384

Again - if UNIX is not your platform of choice, you may want to reconsider the platform for your SAP Content Server.

If you are not familiar with UNIX, even if you manage to install it you will not be able to adminstrate it properly

Thank you and best regards, Markus

Hello!

I presume (taking the name of this forum) the original question was about SAP ContentServer?

This would be a rough description how to configure a SAP CS/CSC for FileSystemStorage

0) if linux is not your platform of choice (it would be mine) - take a different platform

1) read and understand SAP notes, especially 664384, 586895 and related

2) make sure you are using an enterprise linux (cf. service.sap.com/PAM)

3) your linux installation should (amongst others) contain

a) gcc (GNU c-compiler)

b) gdbm-devel

c) libexpat

in general this would be described as a development (with regard to software building) system by some linux distro's

4) retrieve the apache 2.0.x (for allowed x: cf service.sap.com/PAM) source code to build your own apache

5) be root user

6) create group sapsys

7) create user csadmin, primary group: sapsys

😎 you may want to create an own filesystem for content, e.g. /SAP

9) as user csadmin build apache with option (amongst others) --prefix=/home/csadmin (presuming this is csadmin's HOME)

10) if you also need the cache server (you will as soon as you have more than 1 location, repeat 6, 7 and 9 for user cscadmin

11) as root (make sure you have X), execute sapinst from the installation master

12) installation almost as under Windoze - don't use AdminSecurity as it will not work with modern UNIXes (ContentServer wrongly assumes that /etc/passwd contains the crypted passwords and there's a note proposing to put it there - security alert in my humble opinion) - better to protect transaction csadmin

13) you should be all set

I hope I didn't forget anything - this was from memory.

Contact me if you have problems.

Good luck and best regards, Markus
