The Aspera® Shares™ application requires the following:
On the Aspera Shares server:
- Linux 64-bit (RedHat, CentOS) with kernel 2.4 or higher and libc
version GLIB 2.3.4 or higher
- Aspera Shares package and license file
Aspera Shares includes an Nginx web server listening on port 80 and 443.
For best results, Aspera recommends using a machine that does not run a web server. If you
are using a web server, keep port 80 or 443 open, configure either that server or the
Nginx server to use different ports. If you are installing an Enterprise
Server and Shares on the same host and configure a firewall, close all ports that are not
required. For details see the firewall configuration section of the Aspera Enterprise
Server documentation./>
On the node machines:
- Aspera Enterprise Server™ 3.3.x (or later) or Aspera Connect Server™ 3.3.x (or later). If older versions of these products are already
installed and running on the system, upgrade to the required version before setting up the
node server. See http://downloads.asperasoft.com/en/documentation/1 for information on installing or upgrading these
products.
- Aspera Enterprise Server license file.
- Identify a directory to use for sharing data.
On all machines (Aspera Shares and nodes):
- Verify that the machine's hosts file has an entry for 127.0.0.1
localhost (/etc/hosts or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).
- Verify that SELINUX is disabled through cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux.
SELINUX can be permissive or disabled, but not enforced. (Linux only)
