A silent installation uses the installation wizard to install the product in silent mode, without the graphical user interface. Instead of displaying a wizard interface, the silent installation enables the installation program to read all of your responses from a file that you provide.
If you are installing
IBM HTTP Server V6.0.1 on HP-UX IA-64 you need the BUNDLE11i B.11.23.0409.3 required
patch bundle for HP-UX 11i level of HP-UX or greater. This is the
September 2004 update of 11i V2 for IA-64.
Installing IBM HTTP Server using silent installation refers to using a file to supply installation options without user interaction. To configure the installation, change the options in the response file before you issue the installation command. Silent installation mode does not accept interactive installation options. To specify non-default options during a silent installation, you must use the response file. To install silently, you must accept the license agreement in the agreement option.
Verify that the required disk space is available.
See Preparing the operating system for product installation for more information. Do not use the default response file that is shipped on the product disc to install the product, because the value of the silentInstallLicenseAcceptance bean is "false". Copy the file to change the value to "true".
If the installation is successful, the IBM HTTP Server product is installed and the log file is located in the /logs/install/ directory. However, if the product installation fails, see the log.txt file in either the /logs/install/ directory or the $USER/ihslogs/ directory.
<message>error: failed to stat /mnt/xxx: Stale NFS file handle</message>This problem might occur if the system has an unresponsive Network File System (NFS) mount, then the Linux rpm command, which is used to install the GSKit, attempts to query the unresponsive file system mount until it times out. To work around this problem, unmount the stale NFS mount, and then mount it again.
ln -s /opt/ibm/gsk7_64/lib64/libgsk7ssl_64.so ihs_install_root/lib/libgsk7ssl.soWhere ihs_install_root is the directory in which IBM HTTP Server is installed.
If this command is not run, the plug-in will fail to use SSL even when configured and an error message will result in the http_plugin.log file at plugin_install_root/logs/webserver_name/.
You can view the Web server plug-in for Secure Sockets Layer topic in the documentation for the WebSphere Application Server Information center.
