A silent installation uses the installation wizard to install
the product in silent mode, without the graphical user interface.
Instead of displaying a wizard interface, the silent installation
enables the installation program to read all of your responses from
a file that you provide.
Antes de Começar
Installing IBM HTTP
Server using silent installation refers to using a file to supply
installation options without user interaction. To configure the installation,
change the options in the response file before you issue the installation
command. Silent installation mode does not accept interactive installation
options. To specify non-default options during a silent installation,
you must use the response file. To install silently, you must accept
the license agreement in the agreement option.
Verify that
the required disk space is available.
See Preparing the operating
system for product installation for more information. Do not use
the default response file that is shipped on the product disc to install
the product, because the value of the silentInstallLicenseAcceptance
bean is "false". Copy the file to change the value to "true".
Procedimento
Log on as root.
Log on as a member of the administrator
group. Considerations for Windows operating systems follow:
- Some steps for installing silently require the administrator group
user to have the following advanced user rights:
- Act as part of the operating system
- Log on as a service
- The installation wizard grants your Windows user ID the advanced
user rights, if the user ID belongs to the administrator group. The
silent installation does not grant these rights. If you create a new
user ID on a Windows platform to perform the silent installation,
you must restart the system to activate the proper authorizations
for the user ID, before you can perform a successful silent installation.
- When installing IBM HTTP Server as a Windows service, do not use
a user ID that contains spaces. A user ID with spaces cannot be validated.
Such a user ID is not allowed to continue the installation. To work
around this problem, install with the service configured to run as
LocalSystem, and then modify the user ID after install.
- Copy the responsefile.txt file to your disk drive
and rename it, for example myoptionsfile.txt. You
can now customize it. Accept the IBM HTTP Server license
by setting -OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true" in
your response file.
- Issue the proper command to use your custom response file.
For example, issue one of the following commands:
mnt_cdrom/IHS/install
-options myoptionsfile.txt -silent
"CD-ROM drive:\IHS\install" -options
"myoptionsfile.txt" -silent
To silently install IBM
HTTP Server, the X Windows software must be installed on the system.
You
can find the sample options response file in the IBM HTTP Server directory
on the product CD.
Resultados
If the installation is successful, the IBM HTTP Server
product is installed and the log file is located in the /logs/install/ directory.
However, if the product installation fails, see the log.txt file in
either the /logs/install/ directory or the $USER/ihslogs/ directory.

The IBM HTTP Server installation may hang during
the silent install of GSKit. The following message displays in the
installConfig.log file:
<message>error: failed to stat /mnt/xxx: Stale NFS file handle</message>
This problem might occur if the system has an unresponsive
Network File System (NFS) mount, then the Linux rpm command, which
is used to install the GSKit, attempts to query the unresponsive file
system mount until it times out. To work around this problem, unmount
the stale NFS mount, and then mount it again.
