I had trouble installing Centos in a VMWare guest (Windows XP being the host operating system). Solution was to download a ‘CentOS 5.0, server install’ from thoughtpolice to get Centos up and running as a VMWare virtual machine. Read about this here.
The installation process is pretty straight forward. I choose to install in /pro/product/101b (like Oracle’s Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) Convention)
Example of manual creation of a progress database using the prostrct utility.
Create a structure file
First create a structure file with a text editor.
Rules for creating storage areas and extents
When you are defining storage areas and extents in order to create a new database:
The minimum information required in a .st file is one schema area extent definition
statement and one primary recovery (BI) area extent definition statement.
The minimum information needed to specify any extent is the storage area type and extent
pathname. For example:
If you do not define a primary recovery extent path in the .st file, the PROSTRCT
CREATE utility generates an error.
You cannot use any of the reserved storage area names as application data storage area
names.
So I created a structure file db01.st.
db01.st structure file
# bi file, location, variable size, size
b /m001/prodata/db01/db01.b1 v 1024
# schema area, location, fixed size, size
d "schema Area",32 /m001/prodata/db01/db01.d1 f 1024
Progress OpenEdge Database 10.1b install on Centos (RHEL)
What follows is a braindump of every thing I stumled into while getting Progress OpenEdge Database 10.1b up and running on Centos (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). Where Centos is a VMWare virtual machine (guest) with Windows XP as the host operating system.

Download and install Java (JDK)
see /nix/download-and-install-of-java-jdk.html for instructions as to the installation of JDK on Centos.
Run the installer.
The installation process is pretty straight forward. I choose to install in /pro/product/101b (like Oracle’s Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) Convention)
