When upgrading from localized Application Server 7.1 Update 2 to Update 3/Update 4/Update 7 in Japanese and Simplified Chinese locales, the localized welcome page and index.html is displayed from Update 2.

The localized version of Application Server 7.1 Update 7 contain localized files from Application Server 7.1 Update 2. 

Solution

After upgrading to Update 7, refer to the English welcome page and index page located at:

Appserver_Install_Dir/docs/about.html

Appserver_Install_Dirlib/install/templates/index.html

To register Sun Java System Application Server, use the following URLS: 

Japanese: https://www.sun.com/software/product_registration?locale=ja_JP

Simplified Chinese: https://www.sun.com/software/product_registration?locale=zh_CN

To view the latest index.html (in English) for an existing domain, instead of the old localized version, copy the index.html to the docroot folder:

copy Appserver_Install_Dir/lib/install/templates/index.html to

Appserver_domain_root/domains/domain1/admin-server/docroot

Before creating a new domain, replace the localized index.html with the English index.html:

Copy Appserver_Install_Dir/lib/install/templates/index.html to

Appserver_Install_Dir/lib/install/templates/{ja,zh_CN}/index.html

Ensure that you back up your current Japanese or Chinese index.html file.

On Windows, the services created have the start type set by default to “Automatic” after an upgrade.

6217097

File-based upgrade performed as a non-root user seems to fail if the Application Server binaries for the upgrade were not downloaded as non-root user.

Solution

The downloaded binaries need to be owned by the non-root user. The downloaded archive must be unzipped by the user who will do the installation or upgrade. Otherwise this is known to lead to permissions issues while the JDK is being upgraded.
