WebSphere Aplication Server 4+ Installation On Linux.

WebSphere Aplication Server:

Installation:

1. Mount the CD (Disk 1 of 2): mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom 
2. Create install directory:

cd /tmp
mkdir ws
cd ws
cp /mnt/cdrom/wasi401u/wasi401u.zip .
unzip wasi401u.zip
cd linux
./install.sh

3. The installation program fails to start the admin server.
4. Start manually: /opt/IBMHTTPServer/bin/adminctl start
   Use the argument stop to stop the server or restart to restart after a configuration change. Note:

• The admin web server operates on port 8008.
• The admin web server config file: /opt/IBMHTTPServer/conf/admin.conf

3. Start the  browser and Enter the URL http://localhost/ and select "Configure server". (The password was assigned during installation - remember it!) Next select from the admin menu on the left hand side: "Basic Settings" (select arrow) + "Core Settings". Set basic items like "Server name", etc. The items which can be configured here can also be configured in the httpd.conf file by a knowledgeable admin. (restart after editing.)
4. The final step for the installer is to launch the WebSphere Application Server "First Step" panel. This may be launched manually any time later on by using the command: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/firststeps.sh
