Installing WebLogic SIP Server Using Console-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install WebLogic SIP Server using console-mode installation:

 


Before You Start

Before you start installing WebLogic SIP Server, please review the following information:

 


Starting Console-Mode Installation on Windows Systems

Note: If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program.

To start the installation in console mode on a Windows system:

  1. Log in to the target Windows system.
  2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window.
  3. Complete the following procedure:
    1. Download the WebLogic SIP Server installation software or mount the installation CD.
    2. Go to the directory in which you downloaded or mounted the installation program.
    3. Launch the installation by entering the command:
    4. wlss201_win32.exe -mode=console

       

      Note: You can also include the -log=full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log.

      The installation program begins to install WebLogic SIP Server.

 


Starting Console-Mode Installation on UNIX Systems

Complete the following steps to start the installation in console mode:

  1. Log in to the target UNIX system.
  2. Complete the following procedure:
    1. Download the WebLogic SIP Server installation software or mount the installation CD.
    2. Go to the directory where you downloaded or mounted the installation program.
    3. Launch the installation by entering the commands:
    4. chmod a+x filename.bin
      ./
      filename.bin -mode=console

      Where filename.bin is the name of the WebLogic SIP Server installation program specific to your platform (wlss201_linux32.bin or wlss201_solaris32.bin).

       

      Note: You can also include the -log=full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log.

 


Running Console-Mode Installation

To complete the console-mode installation process, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice or by pressing Enter to accept the default. To exit the installation process, enter exit (or x, for short) in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter previous (or p, for short) at the prompt. To proceed to the following window, enter next (or n, for short).

Note: The sample console text and directory pathnames in this section use Windows conventions (backslashes) for pathnames, for example C:\bea\wlss201. When entering pathnames on a UNIX system, use the UNIX convention (forward slashes) in pathnames, for example, /home1/bea/wlss201.

The following procedure steps you through the installation program. Use this procedure after you have started the installation program in console mode as described in the previous sections.

  1. At the Welcome prompt, type next (or n for short) or press Enter to continue with the installation process.
  2. The BEA Systems License Agreement prompt is displayed.

  3. Read the Agreement and indicate your acceptance or rejection of its terms by doing one of the following at the prompt:
  4. The Choose BEA Home directory prompt is displayed.

  5. Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system.
  6. The installation program displays the following prompt:

    Choose BEA Home Directory:
    --------------------------
    *BEA home choice

    1¦Create a new BEA Home [C:\bea]
    ->2¦Use an existing BEA Home [D:\beahome1]

    Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    Note: Instead of typing complete words when you want to enter [Exit], [Previous], and [Next], you can use the following one-letter shortcuts: x, p, and n, respectively.

    Do one of the following:

    Whether you accept the existing BEA Home directory or choose to create a new BEA Home directory, you are prompted to confirm your selection, as shown in the following sample:

    Choose BEA Home Directory:
    --------------------------

    *BEA home choice

    ->1¦Yes, Use this BEA home directory [C:\bea]
    2¦No, return to BEA home directory selection


    Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    On the command line, type 1 or press Enter to accept your selection. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the Choose BEA Home Directory panel where you can modify your entry.

     

    The installer displays the Choose Product Directory prompt.

  7. Specify the directory in which you want to install the WebLogic SIP Server software. Select the default product directory (bea_home\wlss201) or create a new product directory.
  8. If you specify a new directory, the installation program automatically creates it for you.

    The choices displayed in this section are as follows:

    Choose Product Directory:
    -------------------------
    Product Installation Directory= [C:\bea\wlss201]

    Input new Product Installation Directory OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    Do one of the following:

At this point, the installation program installs the files to the directory you specified.

Note: It is normal for the installation program to pause for a fairly long time, especially toward the end. The installation program is still working when this occurs.

 

After installing the files, the installation program prompts you to run the Configuration Wizard:

 
Congratulations! BEA WebLogic SIP Server
2.0.1 has been successfully installed to
c:\bea\wlss201.
       
 ->1 - Run the Configuration Wizard
   2 - Exit Installation

Enter a number or [Exit][Next]>
  1. The Configuration Wizard enables you to create a new WebLogic SIP Server domain with or without the findme example. Enter 1 to run the Configuration Wizrd or 2 to exit the installation. See Creating a New WebLogic SIP Server Domain for more information.

 


What's Next?

WebLogic SIP Server 2.0.1 is installed with evaluation licenses for WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4 and the SIP Servlet container. If you purchased a production WebLogic SIP Server license (a SIP Server container license intended for use with a separately-purchased WebLogic Server 8.1 license), follow the instructions in Licensing WebLogic SIP Server 2.0.1 for Production Use in the Release Notes. These instructions describe how to update and install an existing WebLogic Server 8.1 production license and SIP Servlet container license to the default WebLogic SIP Server 2.0.1 installation.

You can start using the product immediately after installing it for the first time because, by default, WebLogic SIP Server uses the development license that is installed in BEA Home directory. To begin working with SIP Server, use the Configuration Wizard to create a new WebLogic SIP Server domain, if you have not already done so. See Creating a New WebLogic SIP Server Domain for more information.

For specific information about this release, see the Release Notes.
