Installation Instructions for WebLogic 6.1 SP7
- Download the Service Pack 7 for Weblogic Server 6.1 for SuSe Linux (SLES 8) from the BEA Download site.
- After installation, create a
.java.login.config file with the following contents in your home directory:
ServerLoginModule
{
weblogic.security.internal.ServerLoginModule required debug=true;
};
This file enables the JAAS security-related code to invoke the WebLogic security module instead of the IBM security module.
Known Issues
- The set uid functionality does not work with this release due to system limitations on the current Linux thread model. When using ports lower than 1024, the set uid function cannot be used to switch from root to non-privilege user ID.
- If you chose the Custom option to install either 1-Program Files or 2-Samples, when you start the examplesServer you may see the following exception in the server log:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: file does not exit: WL_HOME/samples/examples/webapp
You may disregard this error message.
- An incorrect DB QueryString is generated when using the Oracle thin driver for Connection Pool creation. The server throws an exception similar to:
javax.ejb.FinderException: Problem in findByNameEquals while preparing or executing statement: 'weblogic.jdbc.jts.PreparedStatement@55c5eb': java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character

Installation Instructions for WebLogic 6.1 SP5
- Install
weblogic610sp5_aix.bin using the instructions at the following links:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs61/install/index.html
- Copy the
CR104285_610sp5_zlinux.jar patch file to your installation.
One method would be to copy the file to your WL_HOME/lib directory. If you prefer not to install your patches in WL_HOME/lib, you can create a patch directory, such as WL_HOME/patches, and copy the files to the patch directory.
- Unjar the
CR104285_610sp5_zlinux.jar patch file. It contains updated NodeManager shared objects (NodeManager.c) and will replace the existing shared object files in your WL_HOME/lib/linux/390 directory.
If you used the patch directory, unjar the CR104285_610sp5_zlinux.jar patch file and manually copy the files from your WL_HOME/patches directory to your WL_HOME/lib/linux/390 directory.
Known Issues
The set uid functionality does not work with this release due to system limitaions on the current Linux thread model. When using ports lower than 1024, the set uid function cannot be used to switch from root to non-privilege user ID.
