Installing Axigen on 64bit Ubuntu (Debian)

I thought I’d post this, even though it’s not the sort of contect I usually post, because it was a bit tricky to get going. A few steps to getting the Axigen (32bit) mail server running.

- Update the OS first
sudo aptitude update

- Install the 32bit compatibility libs
sudo aptitude install ia32-libs

- Remove nbsmtp as Axigen will install an smtp transport
aptitude remove nbsmtp

- Untar the Axigen file
tar xzvf axigen-6.2.1.i386.deb.tar.gz

- Change to the new directory
cd axigen-6.2.1

- Install forcing the i386 architecture
dpkg -i –force-architecture axigen*i386*.deb

- Run the install wizard
/opt/axigen/bin/axigen-cfg-wizard

- Start the server
/etc/init.d/axigen start

- Configure the server to start at system boot

- Configure the firewall

But remember that if you’re going to need external programs to run with Axigen, like anti-virus etc then you’ll have a similar challenge unless the supplier has a 64bit version.
