Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 Installation Guide

ProcedureTo Install Application Server 9.1 Update 1 without HADB

Before You Begin

Use this procedure if you are using the GUI or CLI mode of the file-based installer for the Application Server 9.1 distribution that does not include HADB. Verify that your system meets the requirements specified in Hardware and Software Requirements in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1 Release Notes.

Solaris and Linux installations support both root and non-root user installations. Users of Windows installations should have Power User or Administrator access. If you are installing as a non-root user on Solaris or Linux, you must have read-write access to the following directories:

  1. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the distribution file.

  2. If you have downloaded a .bin file, change the permission of the distribution file so that you have execute access:

    chmod +x distribution_filename

  3. Run the installation program.

    • If you are installing from a .bin file, use the following command to run the installation program :

      ./distribution_filename

      Use the -console option to run the installation program in command-line mode.

    • If you are installing from a .zip file, unzip the file, navigate to the extracted folder, and run the following command:

      ./setup

      Use the -console option to run the installation program in command-line mode.

    • If you are installing from an .exe file on Windows, double-click the file.

  4. Specify the directory where you want to install the software or accept the default installation directory.

  5. Choose to install JDK 5 or use a pre-installed JDK 5.

  6. In the Administration Configuration page (or when prompted at the command line), enter the following:

    • Admin User Name – Name of the user who administers the server.

    • Password – Admin user’s password to access the Admin Server (8-character minimum).

    • Choose whether you want to be prompted for the Admin User Name and Password.

    • Admin Port – Administration port number for initial server instance. The default value is 4848.

    • HTTP Port - Port number to access the default server instance. You need to provide this value only if you had selected to install DAS.

    • HTTPS Port - Secure port number to access the default server instance. You need to provide this value only if you had selected to install DAS.

    • Note –

      The installation program automatically detects ports in use and suggests unused ports for the default settings.

      The default ports are:

      • Administration Server - The default is 4848

      • HTTP server - The default is 8080

      • HTTPS sever - The default is 8181

      In addition, five other ports are automatically assigned. You can change the automatically assigned values after installation using the Admin Console. The default ports assigned are:

      • Sun Java System Message Queue - The default is 7676

      • IIOP - The default is 3700 for IIOP, and 3820 and 3890 for IIOP/SSL

      • JMX - The default is 8686

      If these default port numbers are in use, the installation program assigns random port numbers from the dynamic port range. This number may not be the next available port number.

  7. In the Installation Options page, select the options that you want. Installation Options are:

    • Upgrade from Previous Version: Select this option to upgrade from configuration data from an earlier installation of Application Server.

      Note –

      If you are running the installer in command-line mode, you need to run the asupgrade command manually.

    • Enable Updatecenter Client: Select this option to enable Updatecenter to check for available updates and collect system data.

    • Create Desktop Shortcut to the AutoDeploy directory: Select this option to automatically deploy items dragged to this directory. You see this option only if you are using Windows.

    • Add bin Directory to PATH: Select this option to add install-dir/bin to the PATH variable for simplifying the process of running the server and tools from the command line. You see this option only if you are using Windows.

    • Create Windows Service: Select this option to create a Windows service to start and stop Application Server,

      Note –

      To create a Windows service, the sc.exe utility must be available on the system. Windows 2000 users may need to install the Windows 2000 Resource Kit to get this utility. For other supported Windows versions, the utility is included in the operating system.

  8. On the Ready to Install page, click Install Now.

    Note –

    To create a Windows service, the sc.exe utility must be available on the system. Windows 2000 users may need to install the Windows 2000 Resource Kit to get this utility. For other supported Windows versions, the utility is included in the operating system.

  9. After installation completes, use the Registration Options screen for registering you installation of application server. For instructions, see To Register Your Installation of Application Server.

  10. Verify the installation by following the procedures in the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Quick Start Guide, located in install-dir/docs/QuickStart.html or on docs.sun.com.
