A small introduction, how to install IBM WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 and IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5 for the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management Platform. This guide is part of the
Configuring Enterprise CLM Reverse Proxies guide.
Prerequisites and Assumptions
For the following the IBM Installation Manager bits are assumed to be installed.
|
Sofware Versions used * IBM Installation Manager V 1.7.1 * IBM WebSphere Application Server V 8.5.5 * IBM HTTP Server V 8.5.5
Installation Directories It is a good practice, NOT to use the default Installation Directory, because this includes spaces in the name and is a virtual directory. A good choice is to take C:\IBM as root folder. |
Installation of WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP server
Download and extract the installation files for the
WebSphere Application Server, the WebSphere Application Server
Supplements and, if available the
fix packs. Fix packs have to be at the same level as the WAS itself. Trial downloads can be found at the "Optional Programs" tab of Jazz product download page on
www.jazz.net. Downloads to be used for production purposes
must be taken from your Passport Advantage site. Fix packs are located at
www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral.
Start the
IBM Installation Manager, connect the package repositories and click
Install.
We need to install 4 packages which can be installed at the same time.
Select the 4 packages and click
Next >.
After having read and accepted the license agreement, click
Next >.
Enter the
Installation Directories for each of your 4 packages and click

It is a good practice, NOT to use the default Installation Directory, because this includes spaces in the name and is a virtual directory on the Windows Server operating systems. A good choice and used in this inroduction is to take
C:\IBM as root folder.
On the next screen you don't want to install additional languages. At least I don't want, although I'm a German. Just click
Next >.
Select the features as shown in the picture above before clicking
Next >.
On the Web Server Configuration tab let the default values and click
Next >.
If necessary, the HTTP port can be changed later in the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
Double check the installation directories and click
Install.
