  SCO Open Server 5.0.5   fPserver Installation Notes	11/28/00  Jerry Rains
  
  To install fPserver on SCO OSR5.0.5 platform please follow these instructions:
  
  If you have a previous version of OSR5 you MUST upgrade to version 5.0.5.,
  have the UDK Compatibility Software Version 7.11 (OSRcompat711) and java2.jre2
  installed in order to run fpServer.  (See instructions below).
  
  fPserver.gz is a gzipped tar file.  To gunzip fPserver.gz you must have
  'gunzip'.  If you do not have it you can download gzip.tar from the "Download"
  section of our web site, www.fptechnologies.com.  cd to a directory that is in
  the PATH then extract gzip.tar with:    tar xvf gzip.tar
  
  To gunzip fPserver.gz type:    gunzip fPserver.gz
  
  Once gunzipped it will be called fPserver.
  
  fPserver will normally be installed in an fpserver directory under the fp
  directory.  If the fp directory is /appl/fp, then when the install is complete,
  there will be an /appl/fp/fpserver directory and fpserver.jar will be in it.
  
  To install fPserver:
  
          Change to the directory where you have decided to install fPserver.
          In this example we will use /appl/fp for the install directory and
          /tmp/fPserver for the location of the fPserver tarball.
  
                  cd /appl/fp
  
          Extract fPserver with:
  
                  tar xvf /tmp/fPserver
  
          To finish the install:
  
                  ./fpserver.finish
  
  fPserver on OSR5.0.5 REQUIRES the UDK Compatibility Software Version 7.11 
  (OSRcompat711) and java2.jre2 in order to run.
  
  IMPORTANT:  Un-install any previous version of UDK Compatibility Software
  before installing OSRcompat711.  
  
  To install OSRcompat711:
  
  	Download DL27510P000.tar 
  
  	Move DL27510P000.tar file into a directory called osrcompat
  
  	Change to the ./osrcompat directory
  
  	Extract the file with:
  
  	tar -xvf DL27510P000.tar
  
  	Uncompress the resulting file with:
  
  	uncompress OSRcompat.711.pkg.Z
  
  	Install OSRcompat.711.pkg with:
  
  	pkgadd -d /OSRcompat.711.pkg
  
  YOU ALSO NEED java2.jre2.  If you already have a previous version of java
  installed it does not have to be uninstalled; however, you do need to put
  /usr/jre2/bin into the PATH prior to the existing java address.
  

• On LINUX servers:

license.fpserver encryption file

In order for fPserver to launch correctly, you must get the correct copy of you fPserver license.fpserver file from our web site: www.fptech.net. Your fPserver software is keyed to the IP address, Port # and number of concurrent connections you purchased.

When you visit our web site be sure to have handy the serial number of the 5.0 software you are running with fPserver, as well as the e-mail address and number of concurrent connections you specified when you ordered your copy of fPserver. Simply fill in the correct information including the IP address and the port # you are going to use. Be carefull at this point: Once you enter the IP address and port number the resulting license.fpserver file will be locked to that IP address, Port and Maximum Concurrent Connection count. You will not be able to re-generate a new license.fpserver file without contacting fP Technologies sales. Download the license_fpserver file into your fp/fpserver/lib directory.
