This article describes installing IBM HTTP Server using the launchpad.
Antes de Começar
Ensure that the /usr partition
contains at least 100 MB of free space when installing to an alternate location.
The installation fails if sufficient disk space is not available to store
the installation data in the /usr partition.
Set
the umask value to 022. To verify that the umask value
is set to 022, run the umask command.
Procedimento
- Prepare your operating platform for installing IBM HTTP Server
as you would for installing any of the installable components on the product
disc. Refer to the Information center topic "Preparing the operating
system for product installation" that is specific for your WebSphere Application
Server product.
- Insert the product disc and mount the disc if necessary.
See Mounting CD-ROMS on AIX, HP-UX, Linux and Solaris systems for information about mounting the
product disc.
- Start the installation with the launchpad command:
launchpad.sh
launchpad.bat
You can also start the installation from the
IHS directory,
where
IHS is the installable component directory on the product disc.
Launch the following command from the product disc:
When using the launchpad, launch the Installation wizard for IBM HTTP Server.
Refer to the Information center topic "Using the launchpad to start the installation"
that is specific for your WebSphere Application Server product.
After
launching the Installation wizard from the launchpad or from the command line,
the ISMP wizard initializes and then presents the Welcome panel.
- Click Next to display the License agreement panel.
- Accept the license agreement and click Next to
display the operating system prerequisites check panel.
- Click Next to display the installation
root directory panel.
- Specify the root directory information and click Next to
display the port specification panel. The port specification panel
enables you to modify the ports to use for IBM HTTP Server and the IBM HTTP
Server administration server. The default port values are 80 for
IBM HTTP Server and 8008 for the IBM HTTP administration module.
Specify unique port values if the default ports are already in use by another
application.
Tip: Issue netstat -an from the command
prompt to display a list of active ports.
Click Next to display
the Windows Service Definition panel. You have the option to create
a Windows service for IBM HTTP Server and the IBM HTTP Server administration
server on this panel. You can configure the services to run as Local System
account or a user ID that you specify. The user ID requires the following
advanced user rights:
- Act as part of the operating system and Log on as a service.
- If you are planning to administer IBM HTTP Server using the WebSphere
Application Server administrative console, select Run IBM HTTP Server Administration
as a Windows Service with Log on as Local System account. A user name and
password is not required for this selection.
- If you will not administer IBM HTTP Server using the WebSphere Application
Server administrative console, select Run IBM HTTP Server Administration Server
as a Windows Service with Log on as a specified user account. Specify your
user ID and password information.
Click Next to display
the IBM HTTP Server Administration Server Authentication panel. If selected,
this panel creates a user ID and password to authenticate to the IBM HTTP
Server administration server using the Websphere Application Server administrative
console. This user ID and password can optionally be created after installation
using the htpasswd utility.
Click Next to
display the IBM HTTP Server Administration Server setup panel. This panel
collects information to enable the installation to grant a user ID write access
to the necessary IBM HTTP Server and plug-in configuration files. The IBM
HTTP Server administration server runs as the specified user ID.
- Click Next to display the IBM HTTP Server
Plug-in for Websphere Application Server panel. This panel collects information
to install the Websphere Application Server Plug-in into a directory that
is relative to the IBM HTTP Server installation location, using the remote
setup type.
Important: If the
plugin directory
does not exist at the same level as the IBM HTTP Server directory, the prompt
panel for selecting the plug-ins installer does not display. In that case,
launch the plug-ins installer from the launchpad or launch the following command
from the
plugin directory:
- Click Next to review the confirmation panel
to verify your selections. Click Back to change any of your specifications.
- Click Next to begin installing IBM HTTP Server.
Resultados
After displaying installation status, the wizard
displays the completion status panel that indicates a successful installation.
Important: Restrict the characters that you use
in installation directory names to printable US ASCII characters.
The {}`!&*()|:^;<>?"\,=+ characters
and spaces are not allowed.
The {}:;*??<>|%,=+&?#^!`$[] characters
are not allowed, but spaces are allowed.
For information on problems when
using non-US-ASCII directory names, search for Technote 1237598 from the
WebSphere Application Server support page.
