Are there any plans on making a Solaris installer?

Also, see my comment below.

Hi Felix,

You're right to add this precision.

I tried to run the server with the apacheds user (that was created by the installer if non-existent on the system) but I could not get it working.

Maybe it doesn't have the proper privileges to bind to the network port(s)?

So I set the default user as root to ensure everything would be ok.

I'll try to investigate more on this 'user issue' and update the script and installer as soon as I can find a fix.

Thanks for you feedback,
Pierre-Arnaud

I'd add a note in the end to make the user aware, that by default
ApacheDS will be run as user root (or add a new question 5th question
about the user ApacheDS shall run under - which must be created if not
yet existing).
Not every user is aware of the fact that in common services should not
be run as user root because of security reason.

The installation work well, I could start the app and didn't get
anything in the log directory. So I suppose that it wotked well.

Regards
Felix
