Installation
------------
OpenVMS
After putting the files in the PMDF_EXE directory, check the
protections to be sure that they are W:RE. Then issue the commands
$ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_EXE:POP3D ! on all cluster nodes with PMDF
$ PMDF RESTART/CLUSTER POP3
$ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_EXE:IMAPD
$ PMDF RESTART/CLUSTER IMAPD ! on all cluster nodes with PMDF
Unix
To install the POP and IMAP servers, place them into the /pmdf/bin/
directory and then execute the following commands:
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/pop3d_dispatcher
# chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/pop3d_dispatcher
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/imapd_dispatcher
# chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/imapd_dispatcher
To install the c-client library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/
directory and then execute the following commands:
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libc-client_dispatcher.so
# chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libc-client_dispatcher.so
Restart the dispatcher:
# pmdf restart dispatcher
