Silently installing on Windows
You can silently install WebSphere Application Server to a local machine. To
do the silent installation:
- Locate the file setup.iss on the product CD or, if you downloaded the product,
among downloaded and extracted files. If the file is on CD, copy the file to
a directory on your machine. Then, jot down the full path name for setup.iss.
- Open an editor on the file setup.iss and change the parameter values in the file as
appropriate for your choice of products and configuration. Descriptions for the
parameters are given below. You must specify values for the Security
szUser= and szPassword= parameters.
- Uninstall any versions of WebSphere Application Server or any downlevel versions
of IBM HTTP Server on your machine.
- Ensure that all
software prerequisites
are met.
- At a command line, enter the following:
setup path\setup.iss -s
Do not use the -f1 option.
- If you encounter errors during installation, examine the setup log file wssetup.log.
- After the WebSphere Application Server installation program runs, reboot your machine.
Parameters that you can set in setup.iss
Language |
To override the language specified by the system locale, set Lang= to
a number that corresponds to a language such as English, Spanish, French,
German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, or Taiwanese. For example,
for English, specify Lang=0009 . See the comment for Lang= in
setup.iss to determine the correct number for a language. |
Rebooting after installation |
Under [RebootDialog-0], to have your system reboot after installation,
set Result= to 1 . By default, your system will not
reboot after installation completes (Result=0 ). |
WebSphere Application Server directory |
Under [SelectTargetDir], specify the main directory for WebSphere Application
Server (szDir=). The default is
[SelectTargetDir]
szDir=C:\WebSphere\AppServer |
Components selection |
Under [Components], set a component to 0 if you do not want
the component installed. Keep the default of component=1 to have
the installation program install the component. The components include:
- Server
- Application and Administrative Server
- Tools
- Application and Development Tools
- Admin
- Administrator's Console
- Java
- IBM JDK
- Samples
- Samples
The defaults are
Server=1
Tools=1
Admin=1
Java=1
Samples=1 |
Security |
Under [Security], specify a valid user ID (szUser=) and a valid
password (szPassword=). Do not use the characters < or > in the
user ID or password. Optionally, specify an administrative console host
(szHostName=); leave the parameter value blank for a local host.
The defaults are:
[Security]
szUser=
szPassword=
szHostName=
|
IBM Distributed Debugger |
For [OLT], specify 0 for Result= if you
do not want the IBM Distributed Debugger installed. The debugger provides object
level trace. The default is 1 , which installs the debugger. The default
install directory is C:\IBMDebug; to install to a different directory, specify
szDir=drive_letter:\different_directory . The defaults are
[OLT]
Result=1
szDir= |
Other JDK |
Under [SelectJdkDir], you can specify an alternative JDK to the one that is
shipped with WebSphere Application Server by designating the JDK home directory
(szDir=). The defaults are
[SelectJdkDir]
szDir= |
Configuring IBM HTTP Server |
For [SelectIBMHttpServer], if you want to install the plug-in for IBM HTTP Server,
specify 1 for Result=. Result=0 does not install the
plug-in. The installation program will automatically determine the location of the
Web server so you do not have to specify the directory. However, you can
override auto-detection of the Web server by specifying the path for the
httpd.conf file (szDir=). The defaults are
[SelectIBMHttpServer]
Result=0
szDir=
If you want IBM HTTP Server installed, also change the values for
[HTTPServer]. |
Configuring Apache HTTP Server |
Under [SelectApache], if you want to install the plug-in for the Apache
HTTP Server, specify 1 for Result=. Result=0
does not install the plug-in. The installation program will
automatically determine the location of the Web server so you do not have
to specify the directory. However, you can override auto-detection of the Web server
by specifying the path for the httpd.conf file (szHttpDir=) and the srm.conf
file (szSrmDir=). The defaults are
[SelectApache]
Result=0
szHttpDir=
szSrmDir= |
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0/5.0 plugin |
Under [SelectIIS45], if you will need the IIS 4.0/5.0 plug-in, specify 1
for Result=. Result=0 does not install the plug-in.
The defaults are
[SelectIIS45]
Result=0 |
Lotus Domino 5.0 plugin |
Under [SelectDominoDir], if you will need the Domino 5.0 plug-in, specify
1 for Result=. Result=0 does not install the
plug-in. The installation program will automatically
determine the location of the Web server so you do not have to specify the
directory. However, you can override auto-detection of Web server by specifying the
path for the httpd.cnf file (szDir=). The defaults are
[SelectDominoDir]
Result=0
szDir= |
iPlanet 4.0 plugin |
Under [SelectiPlanet40_Dir], if you will need the iPlanet 4.0 plug-in, specify
1 for Result=. Result=0 does not install the
plug-in. The installation program will automatically determine
the location of the Web server so you do not have to specify the directory. However,
you can override auto-detection of the Web server by specifying the path to the obj.conf
file (szDir=). Set UseSSL= to 1 to enable SSL security; to
keep SSL security disabled, use 0 . Note that enabling SSL on a non-secure
Web server will prevent the plug-in from working. The defaults are
[SelectiPlanet40_Dir]
szDir=
Result=0
UseSSL=0 |
IBM HTTP Server installation |
Under [HTTPServer], if you want IBM HTTP Server installed, specify 1
for Result=. Also, specify the directory to which IBM HTTP Server should be
installed (szDir=). You should not change the parameter for the
installation image (szInstallDir=). The defaults are
[HTTPServer]
Result=0
szDir=
szInstallDir="HTTPD"
If you want IBM HTTP Server installed, also change the values for
[SelectIBMHttpServer] so the
plug-in is installed. |
JDK default location |
Under [JDK], specify the default installation location for the JDK
szInstallDir=. The defaults are
[JDK]
szInstallDir="JDK" |
