This package contains two sets of CDs:
Installation Usage Scenarios
IMPORTANT: You may use DB2 Universal Database Express Edition on a machine only for demonstrating, testing and developing application programs. You may not install either program on a production server. See the enclosed license for more details.
This section contains information about installing WebSphere Application Server - Express on Windows. The major components of WebSphere Application Server - Express are the Application Server, the Remote Agent Controller, and WebSphere Studio Site Developer (WSSD). You can choose to install any or all of these components. You need to install the Remote Agent Controller along with the Application Server if you want to be able to administer the Application Server using WSSD.You can install WebSphere Application Server - Express either from the CD-ROM or from the electronic images that you download.
Installation Note:
The installation program can be run in an interactive console mode instead of using the GUI wizard panels. The console mode may be better suited for persons with accessibility requirements. The "-accessibility" mode provides additional audible information for visually-impaired end users. To run in console mode run this command from the setup directory of the WebSphere Application Server - Express installation CD:
Follow the prompts to complete the install. Note: The "-is:javaconsole" option is critical. If you do not specify this option the installation program will hang. The "-log @NONE" turns logging off to eliminate log information coming out on the console. If you experience any problem during the install, you may want to eliminate this option in order to collect log information.
Important: Do not install this version over an earlier version. You can either install into a different directory for coexistence, or you can uninstall the previous version before installing to the same directory. If the installation program detects a previous version of the application server you will be offered the option to migrate your server configuration to the 5.1 server. See the Migration Guide for more detail.
Important: If you try to open a Version 4.0.x workspace from the Version 5.1.1 Studio Site Developer IDE, the workspace will be converted to a Version 5.1.1 workspace. Project names, project source files, and project Java build paths (class paths) are retained. However, user interface settings, debug settings, and most preferences are lost. Refer to the Migration Guide for instructions on safely migrating your existing projects to Version 5.1.1.
As a precaution, it is recommended that you make a backup copy of your Version 5.x workspaces prior to migrating to Version 5.1.1
Before you install the product, check the following things:
To install WebSphere Application Server - Express from the first product installation CD, follow these steps:
Tips:
Important: Do not install into a directory with a name that contains double-byte characters or special characters such as a dollar sign. Doing so may cause undesirable results such as class path problems in the WebSphere test environment.
Please refer to the product readme file for a description of the downloadable electronic images and how to install them.
Before you install the product, check the following:
After installing WebSphere Application Server - Express you should have the following directory structure under the <Expressinstallpath> that you selected during the install:
If any of these directories contain a substantially different number of files, then you should suspect a problem happened during installation. Look at the expressInstallLog.txt file in the <Expressinstallpath>\logs directory to diagnose the problem.
If the installation completed successfully, start Site Developer through the Start >Programs > IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.1 >Studio Site Developer menu item. Once Site Developer starts, follow the links on the Welcome page to load and run an Express example.
The IBM Agent Controller is always installed as a Windows service and is automatically started. IBM Agent Controller provides the communication channel between Site Developer and Application Server. Check the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services to see that IBM Agent Controller is listed and running. If you suspect a problem, look at the servicelog.log file in the <Expressinstallpath>\RAC\config directory.
If the installation did not complete successfully, look at racInstallLog.txt in the <Expressinstallpath>\logs directory. If the racInstallLog.txt file does not exist, then it could mean that another version of IBM Agent Controller is already on the system. Uninstall the other version and retry the installation.
You can verify the basic operation of your Application Server installation by running the Verify Server Installation from the First Steps application. First Steps is launched at the end of the install or you can launch it from the Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.1 > First Steps.
Alternatively you can verify the operation of your Application Server by running the <Expressinstallpath>\Express\bin\testServer.bat file. This batch file will step through starting and stopping the Application Server using its default configuration. Note that this batch file is only used for testing your server installation.
Running setupwin32.exe starts the Java installation program and then returns control to the command prompt. The install actually continues running in the background. Here are several simple ways to verify a silent install has completed:
An alternative way to run the installation program is to issue the command to run the Java installation program directly. Several command line parameters have to be passed into the installation program for it to operate correctly. In the util directory of the first CD there is an example batch file called syncInstall.bat that can be used to run the install synchronously -- that is control will not return to the command prompt until the installation is completly finished. You can pass parameters to the syncInstall.bat command the same as with setupwin32.exe. This batch command is particularly useful for silent install scenarios.
WebSphere Application Server - Express installation program can be run silently, if you wish to bundle the product with your own. To install WebSphere Application Server - Express silently the -silent command-line option is used. During a silent install, you will not see wizard panels after you invoke the install command.
To run the installation silently taking all the defaults use a command similar to:
setupwin32.exe -silent
If you want to change the default Express installation location (IBM/WebSphere/Express), use:
setupwin32.exe -silent -P waseBean.installLocation=c:\<yourdirectory>
You can also use a response file to set additional options for a silent install. See the example response file on the installation CD for a template. To run a silent install using a response file use a command like:
setupwin32.exe -silent -options <fully qualified path>\responsefile
Note: WebSphere Application Server - Express does not support a silent install from a CD when you select the WebSphere Studio Site Developer feature. The reason is that this feature requires the second CD and the installation program does not prompt for the second CD when running silently. To install the WebSphere Studio Site Developer feature silently you can copy the second CD to hard disk or mount the CD in a second CD drive and then use the '-media 2=<path to second CD>' option to tell the installation program where to find the second CD image.
A sample responsefile is included with Express in: \util\responsefile.txt. You can use this file as a model response file.
To run a silent uninstall, go to the <expressinstall>/ _uninst directory. Run the uninstaller program with the -silent parameter. Run a command similar to:
uninstaller -silent
To uninstall WebSphere Application Server - Express:
To completely remove WebSphere Application Server - Express, delete the remaining directories manually.
When running the uninstall of WebSphere Application Server - Express the feature panel that is displayed has several additional features shown than are displayed during the installation. These additional features show up as subfeatures of the Studio Site Developer feature. If you want to select or deselect the Studio Site Developer feature make sure that all subfeatures are selected or deselected.
The IBM Agent Controller provides the communication mechanism between Studio Site Developer and Application Server. The Agent Controller is installed as a Windows service and is configured to run under the Local System account. You can use the Windows Services manager panel to change this configuration to have the IBM Agent Controller run under another user account if you wish. Since the Agent Controller is used to start Application Server, the account that Agent Controller is running under is also the account that the Application Server is running under.
There are various options in securing the link between Studio Site Developer and Agent Controller. The installation configures the link to allow any Studio Site Developer user to connect with Agent Controller. You will want to change this security default if using Agent Controller in a production server environment.
You can use the <Expressinstallpath>\RAC\bin\RACSecurityOn.bat and RACSecurityOff.bat files to enable and disable basic login security. When security is enabled the Studio Site Developer user must provide a valid username and password combination that is an operating system username and password when connecting to Agent Controller. The username and password are forwarded by Agent Controller to the operating system for authentication. On Windows, domain name passwords will not be authenticated. You must provide local username and password pairs.
In order to run the SetConfig utility of the IBM Agent Controller you must have java in your execution path.
If you install WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.1 on a machine where you already have a copy of WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.0, the IBM Agent Controller will be updated to the 5.1.1 version and will be configured to point to the 5.1 Express server. If you subsequently want to remove WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.1 and restore your 5.0 environment, you will need to reinstall the 5.0 Application Server or Studio Site Developer component in order to restore the 5.0 version of IBM Agent Controller. Either of these 5.0 features also installs IBM Agent Controller for 5.0.
This section covers known problems and limitations with installation and uninstallation for WebSphere Application Server - Express on Windows. Refer to the readme file for information about problems and limitations that affect actual use of the product.
If you map to a network drive without specifying a device name (for example, \\computername\sharename), you may get the following message when you try to install WebSphere Application Server - Express: The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf(104). The work around is to locally map to the network drive by specifying a device name (for example, x:\sharename).
Do not install to a Novell NetWare drive. Installation will fail on a Novell NetWare drive.
You should log on as an administrator before beginning the WebSphere Application Server - Express installation.
Occasionally an install failure can result in the uninstall files in the _uninst directory not being complete. The symptom of this is a message stating that a suitable JVM can not be found when trying you run the uninstall. You should manually run the uninstall as follows:
If your installation fails, you must remove any WebSphere Application Server - Express files that have been installed. If the directory where you intended to install WebSphere Application Server - Express is empty, then the installation process has already removed any files that were installed and you can delete the empty directory if you want to.
Steps to take if your installation fails:
This section contains information about installing WebSphere Application Server - Express on Linux. The major components of WebSphere Application Server - Express are the Application Server, the Remote Agent Controller, and WebSphere Studio Site Developer (WSSD). You can choose to install any or all of these components.

If the installation program detects a previous version of the application server you will be offered the option to migrate your server configuration to the 5.1 server. See the Migration Guide for more detail.
For instructions on safely migrating your existing projects from a previous version of Studio Site Developer to Version 5.1.1, refer to the Migration Guide.
As a precaution, it is recommended that you make a backup copy of your Version 4.0.x and Version 5.0 workspaces prior to migrating to Version 5.1.1.
To install WebSphere Application Server - Express from the product CD, follow these steps:
Running 'setupLinux' from a command window:If the current working directory of the command window is /mnt/cdrom, and you are installing from the CD, then when the installation asks you for the second installation CD, you will not be able to eject the first CD from the drive. This happens because the command window working directory is pointing to the CD, so the CD drive appears to be in use. To avoid this, make sure that you do not have the working directory of a command window set to /mnt/cdrom. This means that instead of using the command ./setupLinux to start the install, you use the full path to the CD: /mnt/cdrom/setupLinux.
Running '/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express/AppServer/bin/collector.sh -Summary' from a command window:
You may get errors reported regarding 'mqver not found' and 'wempsservice not found'. You can ignore these error messages.
Running Cloudscape on Linux
To use Cloudscape on Linux, use the shell script EXPcview.sh provided in the directory /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/Express/bin.
Refer to the product readme file for a description of the downloadable electronic images and how to install them.
After installing WebSphere Application Server - Express you should have the following directory structure under the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51 directory:
If any of these directories contain a substantially different number of files, then you should suspect a problem happened during installation. Look at the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/logs/expressInstallLog.txt file to diagnose the problem.
First look at the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/logs/expressInstallLog.txt file. Go to the bottom and check the install completion status. If the installation completed successfully, start Site Developer by running wasexpress51 or /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/SiteDeveloper/wasexpress51. Once Site Developer starts, follow the links on the Welcome page to load and run one of the Express examples.
If the installation did not complete successfully look through the expressInstallLog.txt file to determine the reason.
If the installation completed successfully then start IBM Agent Controller by running the /opt/IBMRAC/bin/RAStart.sh. If you suspect a problem take a look at the /opt/IBMRAC/config/servicelog.log file.
If the installation did not complete successfully look through the racInstallLog.txt to determine the reason.
You can verify the basic operation of your Application Server installation by running the Verify Server Installation from the First Steps application. First Steps is launched at the end of the install or you can launch it from the Start menu.
Alternatively you can verify the operation of your Application Server by running the/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Express51/Express/bin/testServer.sh script. This script will step through starting and stopping the Application Server using its default configuration. Note that this script is only used for testing your server installation.
The WebSphere Application Server - Express installation program can be run silently, if you wish to bundle the product with your own. To install WebSphere Application Server - Express silently the -silent command-line option is used. During a silent install, you will not see wizard panels after you invoke the install command.
To run the installation silently taking all the defaults use a command similar to:
./setupLinux -silent
You can also use a response file to set additional options for a silent install. See the example response file on the installation CD for a template. To run a silent install using a response file use a command like:
./setupLinux -silent -options <fully qualified path>/responsefile
Note: WebSphere Application Server - Express does not support a silent install from a CD when you select the WebSphere Studio Site Developer feature. The reason is that this feature requires the second CD and the installation program does not prompt for the second CD when running silently. To install the WebSphere Studio Site Developer feature silently you can copy the second CD to hard disk or mount the CD in a second CD drive and then use the "-media 2=<path to second CD>" option to tell the installation program where to find the second CD image.

You will want to change this security default when using Agent Controller in a production server environment.
You can use the /opt/IBMRAC/bin/RACSecurityOn.sh and RACSecurityOff.sh scripts to enable and disable basic log in security. When security is enabled the Studio Site Developer user must provide a valid username and password combination that is an operating system username and password when connecting to Agent Controller. The username and password are forwarded by Agent Controller to the operating system for authentication.

Example directory Struture: C:\ - Program Files -IBM -WebSphere - Plugins - AppServer
In a single tier environment, where the Web server is installed on the same machine as the Express Application server, the Web Server Plugins are located in the WebSphere Application Server - Express directory: <ExpressInstallDir>/AppServer. This will provide a seamless integration of the web server plug-in with the Express Application server. This results in the default directory of the Regenerated plugin-cfg.xml to be the same location that the Web server is configured to use. Therefore there is no need to manually copy or otherwise move the regenerated plugin-cfg.xml file after it has been regenerated.
This is the host name of the machine running WebSphere Application Server - Express. This information is gathered to insert appropriate values into the plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml). The default value is the host name of the local host. If WebSphere Application Server - Express is running on a different machine, then enter the host name of that remote server.
For each Web server plug-in you select to install, you will be prompted for the location of its configuration file. The file must exist to continue with the installation.

Refer to section 4.0 "What changes are being made to my Web server configuration" for detailed information.
This section describes the modifications to your Web server configuration files during the installation as tasks that can be completed manually. These steps are performed automatically by the installation process and are listed here for reference.
The modifications include adding a reference to the Web server plug-in library and a reference to the location of the Web server plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml).

Follow this procedure to manually reproduce how the installation wizard configures the Internet Service Manager (IIS) Web server:
Where <pluginsInstallRoot> is the installation root directory of WebSphere Application Server - Express plug-ins.
Re-generating the web server plug-in configuration file, plugin-cfg.xml, is required after deploying applications to WebSphere Application Server - Express.
With WebSphere Application Server - Express version 5.1.0, use the genPluginCfg script to re-generate the plugin-cfg.xml file based on the current configuration of your WebSphere Express Application Server.
Where <ExpressInstallDir> is the installation root directory of WebSphere Application Server - Express
Where <PluginInstallRoot> is the installation root directory of WebSphere Application Server - Express plug-ins.
The following situations require manual editing of the plugin-cfg.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <Config> <Log LogLevel="Error" Name="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express51\Plugins\logs\http_plugin.log" /> <VirtualHostGroup Name="default_host"> <VirtualHost Name="*:7080" /> <VirtualHost Name="*:80" /> <VirtualHost Name="*:7443" /> </VirtualHostGroup> <ServerCluster Name="server1_DefaultNode_Cluster"> <Server Name="DefaultNode_server1"> <Transport Hostname="myHostname.raleigh.ibm.com" Port="7080" Protocol="http" /> <Transport Hostname="myHostname.raleigh.ibm.com" Port="7443" Protocol="https"> <Property name="keyring" value=" C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express51\Plugins\etc\plugin-key.kdb" /> <Property name="stashfile" value=" C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Express51\Plugins\etc\plugin-key.sth" /> </Transport> </Server> <PrimaryServers> <Server Name="DefaultNode_server1" /> </PrimaryServers> </ServerCluster> <UriGroup Name="default_host_server1_DefaultNode_Cluster_URIs"> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/UTC/*" /> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/CustomHomePageExample/*" /> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/YourCoExpressExample/*" /> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/CustomerServiceExample/*" /> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/DocumentMgmtExample/*" /> <Uri AffinityCookie="JSESSIONID" AffinityURLIdentifier="jsessionid" Name="/SurveyExample/*" /> </UriGroup> <Route ServerCluster="server1_DefaultNode_Cluster" UriGroup="default_host_server1_DefaultNode_Cluster_URIs" VirtualHostGroup="default_host" /> </Config>
When your Web server is installed on a different machine than WebSphere Application Server - Express, the generated plugin-cfg.xml file must be moved to the <PluginsInstallRoot>/config/cells directory located on your Web server machine. As a result, paths referenced in the plugin-cfg.xml file may need to be manually edited. Subsequent uses of the genPluginCfg script will merge updates and preserve your manual updates to path entries.
Example: export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib
The Product CD-ROM is in ISO-9660 format with Rockridge extension. You may have to mount the CD-ROM manually. Mounting or unmounting the CD_ROM requires root privileges.

WebSphere Application Server - Express, version 5.1 includes a pre-installed application named Snoop that can be used to verify the Web Server Plug-in is installed and configured correctly. The Web Sever Plug-in configuration file, plugin-cfg.xml, which is installed during the installation of the Web Server Plug-ins is pre-configured to test the Snoop application. However, you may also regenerate the Web Server Plug-in as described in this documentation.
TIP: Remember to restart the Web Server after the plugin configuration file is regenerated.
Procedure for testing the Web Server Plugin
http://yourHostName:7080
TIP: If the Web Server fails to start, refer to the "TroubleShooting tips" section of this document to learn how to resolve the problem.
NOTE: Do not specify the internal transport, 7080, of the WebSphere Express Application Server. The Web Server Plug-in will act as a proxy to the Server using the internal transport 7080. The following url assumes that your Web Server is listening on the default HTTP port 80.
http://yourHostName
If the Web Server Plug-in is installed and configured correctly, the WebSphere Application Server Default Application Web Page will be displayed in your browser.
Try this first: The most common reason the Web Server will fail to start after configuring the Web Server Plug-in is because the plugin-cfg.xml file contains invalid or incorrect information and cannot be parsed by the Web Server. Most often, the problem is caused by one the following conditions:
If you are having problems with the HTTP plug-in component - the component which sends requests from your HTTP server, such as IBM HTTP Server, Apache, or IIS, to Websphere Application Server - Express, try these steps:
If these files don't reveal the cause of the problem, follow these additional steps.
Plug-in problem determination steps
The plug-in provides very readable tracing which can be beneficial in helping to figure out the problem. By setting the LogLevel attribute in the config/plugin-cfg.xml file to Trace, you can follow the request processing to see what is going wrong. At a high level:
You can see this very clearly by reading through the trace for a single request:

Updates to documentation
For the latest information about WebSphere Application Server - Express beyond what is included in the online help system, see the following Web sites:
This section describes how to setup the Web server security plug-in feature for WebSphere Application Server - Express. The Web server security plug-in feature should be installed from the Web server plug-in CD included with WebSphere Application Server - Express Version 5.1.1.
The Web server security plug-ins allow users to separate the Web server machine and the Express Application server machine for increased security and performance. This separation also allows you to be more flexible in the architecture of the Web site in general.
These security plug-ins communicate with WebSphere Application Server - Express over HTTP(S).
The Web Server plug-in installation includes all of the necessary components to automatically configure the following Web servers on platforms for which they are supported.
The Web server security plug-in must be installed on the same machine as your HTTP Web server. Therefore, ensure your HTTP Web server is already installed on the machine before installing the HTTP Web server plug-in.
Refer to the README file located on the Web Server Plug-in CD for detailed information about the following topics:
To install the HTTP Web Server security plug-ins from the CD, follow these steps:.
This is where the Web server plug-in files and libraries will be installed. If WebSphere Application Server - Express is installed on the machine, the default location is <ExpressInstallDir>/Plugins.
Note: The installation directory is the location where the license files, product files, JVM, and uninstallation are installed. The Web Server Plug-in files needed at runtime are installed in <InstallDir>/../AppServer.
Example directory Structure:
C:\ Program File\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins
C:\ Program File\IBM\WebSphere\Appserver
In a single tier environment, where the Web server is installed on the same machine as the Express Application server, the Web Server Plugins are located in the WebSphere Application Server - Express directory: <ExpressInstallDir>/AppServer. This will provide a seamless integration of the web server plug-in with the Express Application server. This results in the default directory of the Regenerated plugin-cfg.xml to be the same location that the Web server is configured to use. Therefore there is no need to manually copy or otherwise move the regenerated plugin-cfg.xml file after it has been regenerated.
This is the host name of the machine running WebSphere Application Server - Express. This information is gathered to insert appropriate values into the plug-in configuration file (plugin-cfg.xml). The default value is the host name of the local host. If WebSphere Application Server - Express is running on a different machine, then enter the host name of that remote server.
For each Web server plug-in you select to install, you will be prompted for the location of it's configuration file. The file must exist to continue with the installation.
WebSphere Application Server - Express Plugin-ins installation program can be run silently, if you wish to bundle the product with your own. To install WebSphere Application Server - Express Plug-ins silently the -silent command-line option is used. During a silent install, you will not see wizard panels after you invoke the install command.
You should use a response file to set the appropriate options for a silent install. See the example response file on the installation CD for a template. To run a silent install using a reponse file use a command like:
For Windows:
install.exe -silent -options <fully qualified path>/responsefile
For Linux and Unix:
linux/setupLinux -silent -options <fully qualified path>/responsefile
Examples for Unix platforms:
WebSphere Application Server - Express, version 5.1 includes a pre-installed application named Snoop that can be used to verify the Web Server Plug-in is installed and configured correctly.

By default, Concurrent Versions System (CVS) plug-ins are automatically installed with WebSphere Application Server - Express. The most recent version of the CVS server is available from www.cvshome.org. You do not need to install a CVS client to use CVS, only a CVS server. For more information about installing and using CVS, refer to the team online help.
As an alternative to CVS, you can use Rational(R) ClearCase(R) as your software configuration management (SCM) system. For more information about Rational ClearCase, refer to www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearcase/.
Note that if you are using Rational ClearCase or ClearCase LT as your SCM solution, you will need to download and install the ClearCase SCM Adapter to enable the integration with WebSphere Studio. To download the ClearCase SCM Adapter, go to www.ibm.com/developerworks and select Rational, found in the Product domains section. From the Rational window select Downloads, then select Rational product downloads and add-ins.
Neither the CVS server nor the Rational ClearCase client or server is automatically installed. You must install them separately from WebSphere Studio.
Several other SCM repositories can be integrated with WebSphere Application Server - Express through SCM team adapters (known in Eclipse as team providers). To find a list of SCM products and adapters provided by IBM Business Partners, go to www-3.ibm.com/software/awdtools/studioappdev/about/ and from the Further reading section, select SCM Adaptor Vendors. From this list, you can access the SCM product vendors' Web sites to download the SCM adapters of your choice. IBM does not endorse or warrant these adapters. For support, or further information, please contact the SCM product vendor directly.
Note: Clicking on a link will take you to the partner's Web site where you will be able to download the SCM adaptor only if you are a company customer and have registered your software.
