Configure CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0

After you have installed VMware Player, configure the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 VMware image.

1. Start VMware Player.
   • On Windows, click Start > Programs > VMware > VMware Player .
   • On Linux, run the vmplayer executable.
2. Log in with the username root and the password sourceforge.
3. Enter and confirm a new Linux password.
   Note: The system may warn that your password does not meet security standards. For example, it may be too short. This does not mean the password is rejected. If you confirm the same password, it will work.
4. If you accept the licensing terms, enter y.
5. In the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 configuration tool, choose Dynamic Networking (DHCP) or Static Networking (Static IP)
   • Dynamic networking is useful for a free 3-user trial installation. It is quick and easy, but email integration with SourceForge may not work correctly.
   • Static networking is best if you have a CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 license and intend to use SourceForge to support your team. To configure static networking, you will need to get a static IP address and hostname from your network administrator, and specify your network settings when prompted.
     Note: In this case, it's also a good idea to run SourceForge in VMware Player on a dedicated machine.
   The networking for SourceForge is restarted.
6. Specify your outgoing email (SMTP) server.
   • For a trial installation, accept the default value.
   • If you have a CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 license and intend to send email outside of your firewall, use the SMTP server settings provided by your network administrator.
     Note: Depending on your corporate email configuration, your system administrator may need to permit SourceForge to send mail to the corporate mail server.
7. Choose whether to run CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 at startup.
   • Choose “Yes” to start CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 automatically whenever you start the SourceForge VMware image.
   • Choose “No” to require a manual CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 startup whenever you start the SourceForge VMware image.
8. At the prompt, click Enter to start your CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 server.
9. Log into your new site. The URL for your site is the IP address or domain name provided in the Linux console at the end of the installation process.
