Install Content Gateway

Steps

  1. Disable any currently running firewall on this machine for the duration of Content Gateway installation. Bring the firewall back up after installation is complete, opening ports used by Content Gateway.
    Important: If SELinux is enabled, set it to permissive or disable it before installing Content Gateway. Do not install or run Content Gateway with SELinux enabled.
    Important:

    Forcepoint Web Security customers using Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS 7.x must disable firewall prior to installing Content Gateway.

    On the machine where Content Gateway will be installed, execute the following:

    systemctl stop firewalld

    systemctl disable firewalld

  2. Make sure you have root permissions:
    su root
  3. In the directory where you unpacked the tar archive, begin the installation, and respond to the prompts to configure the application.
    ./wcg_install.sh
    The installer installs Content Gateway in /opt/WCG. It is installed as root.
    Note:

    Up to the configuration summary, you can quit the installer by pressing Ctrl-C. If you choose to continue the installation past the configuration summary and you want to quit, do not use Ctrl-C. Instead, allow the installation to complete and then uninstall it.

    If you want to change your answer to any of the installer prompts, you will be given a chance to start over at the first prompt once you reach the configuration summary; you do not have to quit the installer.

  4. If your server does not meet the minimum hardware requirements or is missing required operating system packages, you will receive error or warning messages.
    Install the missing packages and again start the Content Gateway installer.

    Here is an example of a system resource warning:

    Warning: Content Gateway requires at least 6 gigabytes of RAM.

    Do you wish to continue [y/n]?

    Enter n to end the installation and return to the system prompt.

    Enter y to continue the installation. If you choose to run Content Gateway after receiving this warning, performance may be affected.

  5. Read the subscription agreement. At the prompt, enter y to continue installation orn to cancel installation.
    Do you accept the above agreement [y/n]? y
