Fix Pack 2 -IHSONLY silent installation requires the Java SDK to be installed into the IHSHTTP Server directory before installing the fix pack
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Performing a silent installation of IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V5.0 Fix Pack 2 (V5.0.2) to update only IBM HTTP Server requires the installation of the Java™ SDK into the IHSHTTP directory before installation of the fix pack.
 
Cause
This is a limitation of the V5.0 update installer. Command example:

./updateSilent.sh -fixpack -install -fixpackdir
/opt/WebSphere50/AppServer/update/fixpacks -fixpackID
was50_fp2_solaris -skipmq -ihsinstalldir
/opt/IBMHttpServer50 -ihsonly    


Notice below how was_home is set to /opt/IBMHTTPD even though the
WAS_HOME/bin/. ./setupcmdline was sourced before running the install. Also below notice how JAVA_HOME is set to java_home /opt/IBMHTTPD/java/jre.

Reported error in amjrte_install.log:

Resolving the problem
Copy the WebSphere Application Server install_root /java directory to the /IHSHTTP directory. The updatewizard searches for the /IHSSHTTPServer/java directory. This applies to local as well as to remote installations.

There are currently no plans to correct this issue. It is a limitation of the update installer.
