IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.0.1 Interim Fix 002

Installation Instructions

This document describes how to install IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.0.1 Interim Fix 002 directly from the IBM update site. Installation is performed through the Update Manager capability built into the product. You also have the option of downloading a ZIP file that you can install locally from your machine.

Please Note: There are known issues that may result in problems during or after applying the fix. To ensure a proper installation:

• Follow the instructions below carefully
• If you have disabled any plug-ins either through Update Manager or by modifying plugin.xml files, enable them prior to installation.

ZIP file for local installations

It is recommended that you install directly from the IBM server, but a downloadable version of the fix is available for users who meet the following criteria:

• Have slow or unstable Internet connections and would like use a download manager with resume capability
• Have trouble accessing the live IBM server from behind firewalls
• Would rather download the fixes and install at a later time
• Are site administrators for a group of developers who do not have direct access to the Internet

Once you have downloaded the file, unzip it to a directory and see wasexpress501/interim_fix002/fixes/install.html for install instructions.
