Lasso 9 Server for Mac OS X Installation

Installation Using the Standard Installer

These instructions tell how to install Lasso 9 Server using the standard installer package, and configure the administrator account & registration. An Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.5 or later is required.

Note for Lasso 8 users: Be sure to read this article on configuring Lasso 8 and 9 to coexist on same server before installation.

Note for OS X Lion users: If you upgrade to OS X Server after installing Lasso 9, you will need to manually move the Lasso conf file from /etc/apache2/other to /etc/apache2/sites for Lasso to continue running.

  1. Download Lasso 9 Server for Mac OS X from the LassoSoft website.
  2. Run the installer to perform a standard installation, which will install Lasso 9 and restart Apache. By default the following files will be installed:
    • /etc/apache2/other/mod_lasso9.conf or /etc/apache2/other/mod_lasso9.10.5.conf (Mac OS X 10.5) (On Mac OS X Server, the file will be in /etc/apache2/sites) 
    • /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9.so and /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9.10.5.so
    • /Library/Frameworks/Lasso9.framework
    • /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.lassosoft.lassoinstancemanager.plist
    • /var/lasso
    • /usr/bin/lasso9
    • /usr/bin/lassoc
    • /usr/sbin/lassoim
    • /usr/sbin/lassoserver
  3. When the installer has finished, wait a few seconds to allow Lasso 9 to start up, then click on the link that appears to go to the Lasso Server Administration found at /lasso9/instancemanager/ on your machine.
  4. Use the web form to set an administrator username and password for your Lasso installation. This will start the Instance Manager and create a new instance with the same username and password.

From here on, you can read up on using the Instance Manager and Instance Administration.

Please note that periodically LassoSoft will go through the notes and may incorporate information from them into the documentation. Any submission here gives LassoSoft a non-exclusive license and will be made available in various formats to the Lasso community.
