The Архива Server can be installed on a variety of Linux distributions and operating systems. The instructions in this section illustrate the steps required to install the server on Fedora specifically.
The below procedure may vary slightly on different Linux distributions. However, armed with sufficient knowledge of your distribution, you should be able to setup Архива on your preferred Linux system with relative ease.
Step 1. Install/Upgrade Архива Server
To install the server, type the following:
Following the above, the server executables will be installed /usr/local/mailarchiva/server.
Step 2. Check Availability of Port 8090 and Port 8091.
By default, Архива uses port 8090 and port 8091. Before starting the server, ensure that these ports are not being used by another application. You can do this by typing “netstat -vatn” from the console. If port 8090 is in use, edit the file /usr/local/mailarchiva/server/conf/server.xml and change all references from “8090” to the desired port.
Step 3. Start Архива Server
To start the Архива Server from the commandline type:
Type: “http://localhost:8090” in a web browser to access the web console. If you cannot access the console, check that port 8090 is open on your firewall and examine the log files n /usr/local/mailarchiva/server/logs. To stop the server, you would type: sudo /etc/init.d/mailarchiva stop
