Installation Information

---

For all installations, the package manager copies all necessary files onto disk (default location is /usr/local/psql) and runs a post-installation script which performs the following tasks:

• Creates user psql and group pvsw
• Sets user:group ownership to psql:pvsw for the installed files
• Stops Pervasive.SQL daemons if they are running
• Applies a 10 user, 30 day limited license
• Launches both Pervasive.SQL daemons - mkded and sqlmgr
• Creates a new ODBC DSN (data source name) for the DEMODATA test database
• Creates a new Samba share PSQLDATA if Samba configuration file is found
• Creates startup/shutdown scripts for Pervasive.SQL daemons

After the installation script is finished, you should verify that both engines (mkded - transactional, sqlmgr - relational) are running with the Linux ps utility:

Type the following at the command prompt:

ps -e | egrep 'mkded|sqlmgr' 

You can verify that the RPM packager installed the Pervasive.SQL package by issuing the following case-sensitive command at a terminal window:

rpm -q 'Pervasive.SQL' 
 

User Count License

It is highly recommended that you go through the README file to find out the latest information on updating your user count information.

Once you have completed installation, you may need to update your user count license by using the clilcadm utility. It can be done anytime before using Pervasive.SQL from a client. Information about how to do this can be found in Pervasive.SQL User's Guide (see License Administrator ). Detailed information about clilcadm can also be found in the man pages and in the documentation for clilcadm located in the "Linux Supplementary Documentation" section of Pervasive.SQL User's Guide.

Note
You must be a member of group pvsw to run the clilcadm utility. See Pervasive.SQL Account Management on Linux for more information.
