Installing Caching Proxy using system packaging tools

This topic provides instructions for installing Caching Proxy using the system packaging tools.

After installation, scripts within the Caching Proxy packaging attempt to start the proxy server using the default configuration. If port 80 is in use, such as by another Web server, the proxy server will fail to start.

IMPORTANT: Caching Proxy is available on all Edge component installations, with the following exceptions:

Using your operating system's package installation system, install the packages in the order listed in Table 2. The following procedure details the typical steps necessary to complete this task.

  1. Insert the Edge Components CD into your CD-ROM drive and mount the drive if necessary.
  2. Become the local superuser root.
    su - root
    Password: password
  3. Change to the appropriate directory on the CD.
    cd mount_point/package_directory/
  4. Install the packages.

    On AIX®:

    installp -acXd ./packagename

    On HP-UX:

    swinstall -s source/ packagename

    On Linux:

    rpm -i ./packagename

    On Solaris:

    pkgadd -d ./packagename

Notes:
  1. Load Balancer documentation is supplied in two packages. The doc-en_US package includes all Edge components documentation, including the Load Balancer documents, and places them into the ../edge/doc/ directory. The documentation package associated with Load Balancer installations (Installing Load Balancer using system packaging tools) installs only the Load Balancer documents and places them into a subdirectory within the ../edge/lb/ directory.
