This section describes how to install Oracle Web Tier without configuring it by choosing Install Software - Do Not Configure as your installation type (Section 2.4). Later you should manually configure the Web Tier components by running the configuration wizard.
This chapter includes the following sections:
After you start the installer (Section 2.3), follow the instructions in Table 4-1 to install Oracle Web Tier.
If you need additional help with any of the installation screens, see Appendix A, or click Help to access the online help.
Table 4-1 Installation Flow for Install Only Option
Run the Configuration Tool to configure your Oracle Web Tier products.
Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/bin/config.sh
Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME\bin\config.bat
Note:
Ensure that the Oracle Web Tier installer is not running; running the installer and Configuration Tool concurrently is not supported.
After you have started the Configuration Tool, follow the instructions in Table 4-2.

After the configuration is complete, perform the post-installation tasks. See Section 3.2.
You can perform any combination of the following tasks to verify that your installation was successful:
Check for the presence of installation log files in logs directory inside your Oracle Inventory directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the WebTier_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.
Check the domain server logs, which are located in the servers directory inside the domain home directory. For example:
On UNIX
Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name
On Windows
Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\servers\server_name
Run the opmnctl status command from the INSTANCE_HOME/bin directory on UNIX, and INSTANCE_HOME\bin directory on Windows in your instance home location. For example:
> ./opmnctl status Processes in Instance: instance2 ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- ias-component | process-type | pid | status ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+--------- webcache1 | WebCache-admin | 24057 | Alive webcache1 | WebCache | 24056 | Alive ohs1 | OHS | 23890 | Alive
This information shows the components configured for this installation. The status "Alive" means the component is up and running.
Run the opmnctl status -l command from the INSTANCE_HOME/bin directory on UNIX, and INSTANCE_HOME\bin directory on Windows in your instance home location to obtain a list of ports used by the components. For example:
> ./opmnctl status -l ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+----------+------------+----------+-----------+------ ias-component | process-type | pid | status | uid | memused | uptime | ports ---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+----------+------------+----------+-----------+------ webcache1 | WebCache-admin | 24057 | Alive | 1067146469 | 43712 | 14:43:29 | http_admin:7799 webcache1 | WebCache | 24056 | Alive | 1067146468 | 64072 | 14:43:29 | http_stat:7800,http_invalidation:7801,https_listen:7802,http_listen:7798 ohs1 | OHS | 23890 | Alive | 1067146467 | 50260 | 14:43:39 | https:9999,https:4447,http:7777
