7.2 Installing Oracle HTTP Server

This section covers these topics:

• Section 7.2.1, "Prerequisites for Installing Oracle HTTP Server"

• Section 7.2.2, "Installing Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2"

• Section 7.2.3, "Backing Up the Installation"

7.2.1 Prerequisites for Installing Oracle HTTP Server

Prior to installing Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), check that your machines meet the following requirements:

• Ensure that the system, patch, kernel, and other requirements are met as specified in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier.

• Because Oracle HTTP Server is installed on port 7777 by default, you must make sure that port 7777 is not used by any service on the nodes. To check if this port is in use, run the following command before installing Oracle HTTP Server:

  netstat -an | grep 7777
  

  You must free port 7777 if it is in use.

• On Linux platforms, if the /etc/oraInst.loc file exists, check that its contents are correct. Specifically, check that the inventory is correct and that you have write permissions for that directory. If the /etc/oraInst.loc file does not exist, you can skip this step.

• Before starting the installation, make sure that the following environment variables are not set:

  • LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

  • ORACLE_INSTANCE

7.2.2 Installing Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2

As described in Chapter 4, "Preparing the File System for an Enterprise Deployment," you install Oracle Fusion Middleware in at least two storage locations for redundancy. Follow the same procedure to install Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and on WEBHOST2.

To install Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2:

1. Start the installer for Oracle HTTP Server from the installation media:

   ./runInstaller
   

2. On the Specify Inventory Directory screen, perform the following steps:

   1. Enter /u02/oracle/oraInventory on the local private storage volume mounted on each server node.

   2. Enter the OS group for the user performing the installation.
