Common Questions After Installing the Linux Client


This section contains information that you should read after running the installation program. If you are having problems with your installation, see the troubleshooting chapter in Getting Started with Pervasive.SQL (Server edition) or get help online from our Knowledge Base website at http://support.pervasive.com/eSupport.

How Do I Read the Online Documentation?

Man pages are provided for the executable files. To make these man pages available, add $PVSW_ROOT/man to your MANPATH environment variable.

Online documents in HTML format are available in one of the following directories by loading the index.html document in a browser:

Client documentation:

file://usr/local/psql/clientdoc/html 

Server documentation:

file://usr/local/psql/doc/html 


Note
If you install the Linux server edition of Pervasive.SQL (version 8.50 or later), both server and client documentation are located in the default server documentation folder. Otherwise, if you have a Linux server earlier than Pervasive.SQL 8.50 on the machine where you are installing the client, then your server and client documentation will be located in two separate folders.

There is also a README file on the distribution media that has the latest changes and additions to Pervasive.SQL V8.
