• Apache HTTP Server Version 2.0

To install NX Client, NX Node and NX Server, please follow the instructions reported in the correspondent Installation Instructions available at:

http://www.nomachine.com/documents/client/install.php

http://www.nomachine.com/documents/node/install.php

http://www.nomachine.com/documents/server/install.php

The following NX Server Manager packages are available:

• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 32bit architecture
• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 64bit architecture
• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 32bit architecture for earlier Linux versions

The list of the supported platforms may be updated from time to time, please refer to the download page to get the latest information:

Open an xterm terminal or similar, move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and install it using the rpm utility:

# sudo rpm -ivh nxmanager-X.Y.Z-W.i386.rpm

Open an xterm terminal or similar, make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and run:

# sudo rpm -Uvh nxmanager-X.Y.Z-W .i386.rpm

Open an xterm terminal or similar and run:

# sudo rpm -e nxmanager

Open an xterm terminal or similar, move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and install it using the dpkg utility:

# sudo dpkg -i nxmanager_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb

Open an xterm terminal or similar, make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and run:

# sudo dpkg -i nxmanager_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb

Open an xterm or similar and uninstall the package using the dpkg utility:

# sudo dpkg -r nxmanager

Open an xterm terminal or similar. You should have downloaded the tar.gz package to the /usr directory. If not, move the package to the /usr directory and extract the archive:

# sudo mv nxmanager-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz /usr
# cd /usr
# sudo tar xvzf nxmanager-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz

Open an xterm or similar, make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next, ensure that the downloaded package is in the /usr directory and extract the archive:

# sudo tar xvzf nxmanager-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz

This operation will also remove the NX Client, the NX Node and the NX Server installations. Please note that it is advisable to uninstall the NX Server before removing the /usr/NX directory. This will ensure a clean installation of any successive NX Server version. Open an xterm or similar and remove the installation directory:

# sudo rm -rf /usr/NX

Open a terminal and move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site, expand the package archive and install it using the pkgadd utility :

# sudo gunzip nxmanager-X.Y.Z-WW.sparc.gz
# sudo pkgadd -d nxmanager-X.Y.Z-WW.sparc

Open a terminal, make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo gtar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

The next step is to remove the previous installation, otherwise the installation will fail because only a single instance of the package is supported at one time on the same system:

# sudo pkgrm NXmanager

Finally, expand the package archive and install it using the pkg utility:

# sudo gunzip nxmanager-X.Y.Z-WW.sparc.gz
# sudo pkgadd -d nxmanager-X.Y.Z-WW.sparc

Open a terminal and remove the NX Server Manager installation using the pkgrm utility:

# sudo pkgrm NXManager

In particular, you should ensure that the following keys are set according to the configuration on your system:

#
# Specify user name of Apache owner.
#
ApacheUname = "nobody"

#
# Specify group name of Apache owner.
#
ApacheGname = "nogroup"

#
# Specify the Apache reload command.
#
ApacheHTTPDReloadCommand = "/etc/init.d/apache2 graceful" 

The /usr/NX/etc/manager.conf file should be included in the Apache configuration file, for example httpd.conf, by adding the following directive before the "Global Environment" section:

Include /usr/NX/etc/manager.conf

Then restart your Apache Web server.

The Apache configuration file is usually: PREFIX/conf/httpd.conf. Alternative locations, depending on your installation, may be, for example, /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/httpd/httpd2.conf.

The manager.conf file provides the following directives:

Alias /nxmanager/ "/usr/NX/share/htdocs/nxmanager/" 

ScriptAlias "/nxmanager" "/usr/NX/bin/nxmanager"

<Directory "/usr/NX/">
    AllowOverride None            
    Options None                  
    Order allow,deny              
### ADDRESS RESTRICTIONS START ###
    Allow from all
### ADDRESS RESTRICTIONS STOP  ###
</Directory>

Set the proper permissions for the NX Server Manager backend and for the manager configuration file to be included in your Apache configuration by running the following command in an xterm or similar:

# sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxmanager --update

After you have successfully installed the NX Server Manager, at least one administrator user should be initially created on the server(s) you want to administer through the Web application. To create administrators on the server, please access the machine where NX Server is installed and run the following command in an xterm or similar:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --useradd USERNAME --administrator

The NX Server Manager is a Web application based on perl CGI. You can run it pointing your browser to the proper URL according to the CGI directory you have specified in the configuration file of Apache:

e.g. http://localhost/nxmanager/

The NX Server Manager application is provided with a default Web administrator user. As the NX Server Manager Administrator you will be able to have control over the application itself as well as the NX Server network management. You can enter the application by using the following credentials:

Username: nxmanager 
Password:  nxmanager
