In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on Solaris, follow these instructions:
  1. Installation
In order to install the Solaris/SunOS package, you must issue (while logged in as root), the following command, from the same directory as the AXIGEN uncompressed installation kit:
gunzip axigen-version.tar.gz
tar xvf axigen-version.tar
pkgadd -d .


For instance, for the 6.1 AXIGEN version the corresponding command will be:

For Solaris i386:
gunzip axigen-6.1.0.i386.solaris.tar.gz
tar xvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.solaris.tar
pkgadd -d .


For Solaris Sparc:
gunzip axigen-6.1.0.sparc.solaris.tar.gz
tar xvf axigen-6.1.0.sparc.solaris.tar
pkgadd -d .


After the installation, no daemons or related application will be started.
  1. Configuration
Before you start the AXIGEN server you need to configure it. You can do that automatically with the help of the AXIGEN Configuration Wizard (please refer to the Automated Configuration with AXIGEN Configuration Wizard section for more information).

More information about each configuration setting can be found in the sample configuration files installed by default, as comments.
  1. Start the AXIGEN server
In Solaris/SunOS, the AXIGEN server can be started via its initscript, by issuing:
/etc/init.d/axigen start
