Installing the Sun Java System Web server V6 plug-in for WebSphere Application Server V5 on AIX
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
This technote describes how to manually install the Sun Java™ System Web server plug-in on AIX®.
 
Cause
The Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE) Web server plug-in for IBM® WebSphere Application Server V5 on AIX is not installed by the standard WebSphere installation program.
 
Resolving the problem
These instructions are intended for use with Sun Java System Web server version 6 and apply only to AIX platforms.
  1. Begin the normal installation process for installing WebSphere® Application Server V5 Base Edition.

  2. On the features selection panel, be sure to select the Web Server Plugins option, in addition to any other WebSphere Application Server features desired. (See the screen shot below.)

    Note: Do not select any of the individual Web server sub-options, unless you use other Web servers in addition to the Sun Java System Web server. Even though no particular brand of Web server is selected, the plug-in for Sun Java System will still be installed.



  3. Install and configure the Sun Java System Web server product, if you have not already done so.

  4. Manually update the Sun Java System Web server configuration files to load the WebSphere Application Server plug-in. Follow the instructions in the WebSphere Application Server V5 Information Center's section for plug-in manual configuration.

    Note: The Sun ONE Web server plug-in file is located in the bin subdirectory under the WebSphere installation home, and is named libns41_http.so.

  5. Run the GSKit installation script to ensure that the Global Security Kit (GSKit) is installed. The script is located on the product installation CD at this path:
