Install IBM WebSphere 5.0 Express

This topic describes how to install IBM® WebSphere® 5.0 Express.

Steps

  1. Make sure the SAN File System CD-ROM is in the CD-ROM drive and the CD-ROM drive is mounted.
  2. Install the WebSphere Express package:
    rpm -Uvh /media/cdrom/bobcat-5.0.0-2.i386.rpm
    If no errors occurred during installation, you are returned to the shell prompt.
  3. The default shell prompt displays the host name. If you are not using the default prompt or the host name is not displayed as part of the prompt, verify that the HOSTNAME variable is set.
    # hostname
    mds1

    If the HOSTNAME variable is not set, perform these steps to set it:

    1. Edit the contents of /etc/HOSTNAME
    2. Run this command:
      export HOSTNAME=`cat /etc/HOSTNAME`
  4. Change to the WebSphere Express source directory and install WebSphere 5.0 Express.
    cd /opt/bobcat_src
    ./bobcat_install
