Important: You need to ensure that you install IBM Aspera Console before you install IBM Aspera Shares on Demand.
  1. Install Console
  2. Install Shares on Demand .rpm, but do not run the install script
  3. Use a text editor to open the my.cnf.setup file located at:
    /opt/aspera/shares/etc/my.cnf.setup
    Provide the MySQL username and password that you used during the install of Console.
    [client]
    user     = root
    password = aspera
    host     = 127.0.0.1
    port     = 4406
                       
  4. Run the Shares on Demand installer.
    /opt/aspera/shares/u/setup/bin/install
  5. Disable the Apache Web Server.
    asctl apache:stop
  6. Create a symlink to a file located at /opt/aspera/shares/etc/nginx/locations-enabled/console.
    ln -s ../locations-available/console /opt/aspera/shares/etc/nginx/locations-enabled/
