JSpell Evolution Linux Installation Walkthrough

From JSpell
Jump to: navigation, search

This page is based off an actual install into a standard CentOS 5.3 Apache web server running PHP.

The Linux installation files end in _i386.zip (these are not currently provided as part of the trial download but you can obtain the download by replacing jspellevolutionw.zip with jspellevolution_i386.zip in the download links).

After downloading the file, jspellevolution_i386.zip, you will need to unzip it and then make the .sh script executable

[root@localhost ~]# ls -ltr
total 25468
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     4096 Mar 20 16:24 Desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26039499 Apr 16 09:53 jspellevolution_i386.zip
[root@localhost ~]# unzip jspellevolution_i386.zip
Archive:  jspellevolution_i386.zip
  inflating: jspellevolution_0811c.sh  
  inflating: README.html             
[root@localhost ~]# chmod +x jspellevolution_0811c.sh

Start the installation by executing the shell script. Note, if you are running in a GUI environment then a GUI based installation will begin. What follows is the output of the console based installation.

[root@localhost ~]# ./jspellevolution_0811c.sh

**** the following text appears AFTER you have made your choice! ****
Purchase a license key online at www.jspell.com/jspellorder.html.
 
Please note, license keys issued before April 2009 will 
not work with this installer. Existing users may be eligible for a free 
or discounted upgrade. Contact salesdesk@jspell.com 
for assistance.

Presently the console based installer will ONLY work properly when selecting a Trial installation. If you need to enter your license key then you will need to enter it after the installation is complete. This is presently a limitation of the console based installer which will be addressed in a future version.

Enter your web server document root as shown.

JSpell files will be installed in a subdirectory of your web site.

    resolve to http://localhost. You do NOT need to create subdirectories. The 
    installer will create the correct JSpell subdirectory in the location you 
    specify.
     For example, '/var/www/html','/usr/local/apache/htdocs', etc.
