In order to install the AXIGEN Mail Server on gcc4 based distributions (RHEL, Fedora Core, Mandriva, SUSE), follow these instructions:

  1. Unzip installation file
Issue the following command, in the same directory as the downloaded file, to unzip the installation file:
tar xzvf <install kit file>

For example, to unpack the AXIGEN installation file type the command below in the directory where the file is located:
tar xzvf axigen-6.1.0.i386.rpm.tar.gz
  1. Installation
Issue (while logged in as root) the following command, from the same directory as the rpm file:
rpm -ivh axigen-version-build.i386.rpm

For instance, the corresponding command for the 6.1 AXIGEN version will be:
rpm -ivh axigen-6.1.0-1.i386.rpm

After the installation, no daemons or related application will be started.
  1. Configuration
Before you start AXIGEN, 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).
  1. Start AXIGEN
In RHEL, Fedora Core and Mandriva the AXIGEN server can be started via its initscript, by issuing this command:
/etc/init.d/axigen start

The above installation steps apply for the following gcc4 distributions:
     Redhat Enterprise Linux 5
     Fedora Core 7 or higher
     SUSE Linux 10.0 or higher
     Mandriva 2007.0 or higher
