Deciding which steps to follow

If you have not already done so, install iPlanet Web Server and then obtain the product CD for WebSphere Application Server or download the product from the Web. The IBM Developer Kit and DB2 UDB come with WebSphere Application Server. Instructions for installation follow:

  1. Install iPlanet Web Server 4.0 or iPlanet Web Server 4.1
  2. Install DB2 UDB 6.1 or DB2 UDB 7.1. Both installation instructions describe how to install DB2 UDB and the appropriate fixpack.
  3. Install WebSphere Application Server 3.5 using the Custom Install option

If your system is not connected to the network, also complete the steps in "Setting up TCP/IP for standalone operations".
