EPM System Installer installs Oracle HTTP Server during the installation of Foundation Services, using the Oracle HTTP Server silent installer.
You must install Oracle HTTP Server even if you do not plan to use it as your Web server, because EPM System Configurator activates the Web server configuration task with the Oracle HTTP Server installation. During Web server configuration with EPM System Configurator, you can specify the Web server to use.
Before you begin installation, ensure that you meet the installation prerequisites for Oracle HTTP Server and review the Oracle HTTP Server installation documentation and Release Notes for details on certified operating systems and supported UNIX / Linux packages and important installation issues and workarounds.
For Oracle HTTP Server system requirements information, go to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm.
For Oracle HTTP Server certification information, go to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html.
For Oracle HTTP Server installation information, see the Oracle HTTP Server installation documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/webtier.htm) and Release Notes (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/relnotes.htm.
For Oracle HTTP Server installation issues and workarounds, see the readme for your platform: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/relnotes.htm.
On AIX, if you are using Oracle HTTP Server with Oracle Database, you must run rootpre.sh as the root user before you install Oracle HTTP Server. Run this script once on each machine in the deployment. The file is in SystemInstaller-11120-aix.zip. For details see the Oracle® Fusion Middleware Release Notes 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) for AIX Based Systems (64-Bit) (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e14771/toc.htm).
On Windows, ensure that you have a paging file size of at least 512 MB. Do not select the option to automatically manage paging file size.
Note: | EPM System Installer also installs Oracle HTTP Server on the machine hosting the Essbase Server to support OPMN, so these prerequisites apply to the Essbase Server machine as well. (Note that you only need to configure Oracle HTTP Server on the machine hosting the Web server.) |
Before beginning the installation, EPM System Installer runs prerequisite checks for Oracle HTTP Server. If this test reports any errors (reported on the Welcome page of EPM System Installer), review the Oracle HTTP Server documentation for solutions.
Caution! | Do not proceed with EPM System product installation until all of the Oracle HTTP Server prerequisites have passed. |
During installation with EPM System Installer, check the Installation status for information about Oracle HTTP Server installation status. If Oracle HTTP Server installation fails, check the logs for details. The logs report information from the Oracle HTTP Server silent installer. You can find the logs in:
Windows: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/ohs
UNIX: EPM_ORACLE_HOME/diagnostics/logs/install/common-ohs-oui-out.log
You can also review the Oracle HTTP Server product logs. For more information about Web server logs, see the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Troubleshooting Guide.
