Download Description
Briefly stated, in order to install WebSphere Application Server V5.0 on Red Hat Linux 8.0, you must perform three steps:

1) Download a modified version of the prereqChecker.xml file and the associated prereqChecker.dtd file (see the table below). These files are used to check software prerequisites during the installation process. Copy these two files to the same directory - they must be in the same directory prior to beginning the install process.

2) Install WebSphere 5.0 on the Red Hat Linux 8.0 machine with the modified prereqChecker.xml file by using the osLevelCheckActionBean.configFilePath parameter to pass the modified prereqChecker.xml file to the install program.

Example:
./install -W osLevelCheckActionBean.configFilePath="/tmp/prereqChecker.xml"

3) Download and Install the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Fix Pack.

Details on this procedure are available in the document titled "How to Install WebSphere Application Server V5.0 on Red Hat Linux 8.0" in the table below.

Also, the IBM® HTTP Server included with WebSphere Application Server V5.0 needs compat-db-3.3.11-2.i386.rpm installed.
