Install IBM Http Server 7.0 and Websphere Plugin

INSTALL IHS7.0 & WP-Plugin

A.  ssh to the server as the service account you want to use as the admin. 

   Note: Before going any further, port 80 (if you plan to use) can only be bound to root. That means you need sudo access to be able to stop and start http server running in port 80.

B.  Download ihs.7000.linux.ia32.tar from http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/preconfig.jsp?id=2009-05-19+11%3A09%3A57.016128R&cat=&fam=&s=p&S_TACT=&S_CMP=&st=103&sp=20. Untar the binary file.

- Edit responsefile.txt to whatever value is appropriate for your environment.

  

#  ./install –options responsefile.txt -silent

# Check the logs <ihs_home>/logs/install/log.txt make sure the install was successful.

 

C. Download C1G33ML.tar.gz from http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/preconfig.jsp?id=2009-07-30+10%3A21%3A30.655788R&S_TACT=&S_CMP=. Untar the binary file.

>  tar –zxvf C1G33ML.tar.gz

>  vi <binary_dir>/plugin/responsefile.txt

>  ./install –options responsefile.txt –silent

D.  Generate plugin from websphere portal server. ssh to the host01.

>  cd websphere_home/dmgr_profile/bin

>  ./GenPluginCfg.sh 

Note: The script should generate a plugin-cfg.xml

If you websphere portal is separate from IHS server, transfer the file from websphere host01 to IHS server into the <plugin_home>/config/ directory.

> Review your http server from <ihs_home>/conf/httpd.conf; towards the end of the file, you will see the following configuration that looks like this: 

# LoadModule was_ap22_module wps_plugin_home/bin/mod_was_ap22_http.so

# WebSpherePluginConfig wps_plugin_home/config/plugin-cfg.xml

 

E.  Restart IHS.

#  ihs_home/bin/apachectl -k stop

#  ihs_home/bin/apachectl -k start

 

F.  Test configuration. Open the browser and go to:

http://<host>:<port>/wps/myportal  Host is the server name for IHS server.
