15.2 Manually Migrating the Monitor Application to Linux

  1. On the Linux server, become root in a terminal window.

  2. Make sure that the Linux server already has Apache and Tomcat configured and running successfully and that you know the full path to the Apache and Tomcat root directories.

Copy the GroupWise DVD or software distribution directory to the server where you have migrated the domain, then run the text-based Installation program to install the Monitor Application on the Linux server.

  5. Stop and then start Apache and Tomcat, as described in the following section of the GroupWise Installation Guide for your version of GroupWise:

  6. Verify that the new Monitor Application is communicating successfully with the existing Monitor Agent by viewing the Monitor URL for the platform of your Web server:

    http://web_server_network_address/gwmon/gwmonitor
    
  7. (Optional) Uninstall the old Monitor Application software to reclaim disk space on the NetWare or Windows server.
