This is the first of a work-in-progress series of articles as I move towards using WebSphere Portal on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0, rather than the default WAS 6.1.
*CAVEAT* THIS WORKS FOR ME - THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'LL WORK FOR YOU - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FOLLOW THE IBM DOCUMENTATION LINKED BELOW *CAVEAT*
On my trusty Ubuntu 10.04 box ( now 32 rather than 64-bit, but with the PAE kernel ), I installed ( this morning ): -
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 7.0.0.0
into /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer and then installed the WAS 7.0.0.9 Update Installer into /opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller.
Using the Update Installer, I upgraded WAS to the fix pack ( 7.0.0.9 ) required for WebSphere Portal 6.1.5.1.
I had already downloaded WebSphere Portal Server 6.1.5.0, and unpacked into /tmp using the following script: -
unzip CZ8G7ML.zip -d /tmp/IL-Setup
mkdir /tmp/IL-1
tar xvzf CZ8H5ML.tgz -C /tmp/IL-1
unzip CZ8HDML.zi p -d /tmp/IL-2
unzip CZ8I4ML.zip -d /tmp/IL-3
unzip CZ8I5ML.zip -d /tmp/IL-4
unzip CZ8I6ML.zip -d /tmp/IL-5
unzip CZ8I7ML.zip -d /tmp/IL-5A
Having done this, I installed WebSphere Portal Server 6.1.5.0 into /opt/IBM/WebSphere which automatically places the PortalServer code into /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer and the WAS profile into /opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile.
I then downloaded the most recent Portal Update Installer and extracted it into a specially created directory - /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update.
I then downloaded the fixpack ( WP_PTF_6104.jar) from Fix Central, along with a co-requisite fix, PM15558.jar, and placed both fixes in /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update/fixpacks.
Having updated /opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties, and set the WasPassword and PortalAdminPwd properties, I then installed the two pixies as follows: -
cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update
source /opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/bin/setupCmdLine.sh
./updatePortal.sh -install -installDir /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/ -fixpack -fixpackDir /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update/fixpacks/ -fixpackID WP_PTF_6104
./updatePortal.sh -install -installDir /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/ -fix -fixDir /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/update/fixpacks/ -fixJars PM15558.jar
After a wee while, the job is done.
I checked the versions using the following two scripts: -
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/versionInfo.sh
which returns: -
