New to Connections? New to Linux? Learn along with me as I install Connections 4 on a RHEL 6.3 system!

Hello! My name is Vinny Del Signore and I work on the IBM Software Services for Collaboration Learning Services team.

I have 14 years experience working with Domino as a quality engineer. Recently, I began to learn how to install Connections. Maybe you find yourself in a similar position? Are you a Domino administrator who wants to take advantage of the integration with Connections? Maybe you, like me, were uncertain how to get started.

You have come to the right place! Over the next couple months, I will be publishing a 10 part tutorial on installing Connections on a RHEL 6.3 system. The architectural differences between Notes/Domino and Connections can seem overwhelming at first. We will take this one step at a time and start by preparing your system.

As if diving into Connections wasn't enough, I'll also be tackling Linux. It's been awhile since I've used Linux on a regular basis, so look for tips and explanations geared towards the Windows user and Linux novice.

You can help! If you have a suggestion or see a mistake, please post a comment on the lesson or send me mail: vdel@us.ibm.com. We can learn together and improve this tutorial so everyone benefits.

Let's get started!

Lesson 1: Preparing Your System
Lesson 2: Installing WebSphere Application Server (WAS)
Lesson 3: Installing IBM HTTP Server and Plugin
Lesson 4: Installing WAS Fix Packs
Lesson 5: Installing DB2
Lesson 6: Installing Tivoli Directory Integrator
Lesson 7: Installing a Domino LDAP Directory
Lesson 8: Intermediate Steps
Lesson 9: Installing IBM Connections 4.0
Lesson 10: Installing Cognos

Note: This project was inspired by the great work done by a couple of IBM business partners for Connections 3. You can check out their Windows based tutorial at Connections101.net.
