LOCUS (tm) Server Version 1.2
(c) 2003 Tikal Technology, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Locus Server is designed to run on any Linux, Solaris, or AIX host supporting
Java. 

The server can be installed in any directory. The server startup script is
written to look for the server in /opt/locus/server, ${HOME}/opt/locus/server, or
/usr/local/locus/server. You can modify this script quite easiy to place the
server directory anywhere you desire.

The startup script also looks for java in various installation directories. It
can simply default to ${JAVA_HOME}. If you wish to specify a particular java 
installation, modify the script accordingly.

There is a standard configuration file which requires minor changes to configure
the server's port, the server's knowledge of the Locus Web Application, and how
mail is handled on the server machine. These changes are made to the Server.conf
file. Make a copy of your Server.conf file after modifications. This file has 
information added to it during runtime.

To make this installation as painless as possible, please install the the Locus
Server Application first, install the Locus Web Application second and verify
the connection to the Locus Server, and finally install the Locus Agent on the 
hosts you wish to monitor. You will find the information provided through the Web 
Application useful for verifying the Locus Server connection.

Please read the Locus Server INSTALL file for additional directions.
