24 Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere
Additional components: Linux upgrade instructions
1. Log on the installation machine with administrator privileges (typically, as root).
2. Close all applications and stop any antivirus software.
3. Check the etc/hosts file. If there is no host name for the machine, add one.
4. Create a setup directory for the installer files, such as
/root/Websense_setup.
5. Download the Web Security Linux installer from the Downloads page at
mywebsense.com
. The installer file is called
WebsenseWeb78xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz.
6. Uncompress the installer file and use one of the following commands to launch it:
To launch the graphical installer (available only on English versions of Linux):
./install.sh -g
To launch the command-line installer, omit the -g switch:
./install.sh
7. On the Introduction screen, click Next.
8. On the Subscription Agreement screen, click I accept the terms of the
Subscription Agreement and click Next.
9. On the Websense Upgrade screen, select Start the upgrade and then click Next.
10. When you click Next, a “Stopping All Services” progress message appears. Wait
for Websense services to be stopped.
The Pre-Upgrade Summary screen appears when the services have been stopped.
In some cases, the installer may be unable to stop the Websense services. If the
services have not been stopped after approximately 10 minutes, then stop them
manually using the /opt/Websense/WebsenseAdmin stop command. You can
leave the installer running when you do so. Once you have manually stopped the
services, return to the installer.
11. On the Pre-Upgrade Summary screen, review the list of Websense components
that will be upgraded, and then click Next.
Critical files are backed up and install properties initialized. And then the
Installing Websense screen appears.
12. Wait for the Upgrade Complete screen to appear. Click Done to exit the installer.
Note
These instructions refer to the graphical installer screens.
If you are using the command-line installer, the same
prompts appear. Enter the menu-item number or character,
corresponding to the button described in each step.
