Installing WebSphere aplication server 4.1 on SUN Solaris 8

[aleksey30]

Hello,
I have a clean Solaris 8 install, along with all hardware requirements (1GB RAM) Now I need to install WebSphere Enterprise edition Aplication server 4.1 on the same machine. Can some one please provide me a step-by-step process on how to do so. The DB2 will be installed on the same system.

Thanks allot in advance.

Maybe this will help. I'm just learning this stuff but I've installed WAS 5.0 This is what I did, but it may not be specific to what you are doing.

Install WebSphere Application Server v5.0 (base) and the HTTP Server for your platform
copy the source to your system.
Change directories to where your WAS source is located. For example,
cd /data/tmp/WAS50
To install on UNIX: ./LaunchPad.sh &
To install on Windows:
Wait for the install shield to appear
Language: English
Click Next
Click Install the Product
Click Next
Accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next
Wait while system prereqs are checked.
Select Custom Install and click Next
Make sure that IBM HTTP Server v1.3.2.6 is selected
Click Next
Accept the default install locations and click Next
Enter the node name and host name for install. For example:
node: myunix (your machine name)
host: myunix.FullyQualifiedName.com
Click Next
At the summary of features click Next
Wait while the product is installed
Click Next
Click Finish and the First Steps GUI will appear.


Verify WAS Install
On the First Steps GUI, click Verify Installation. If the install checks out ok, then the server will be started.

YOU may not need this since you have a different version.
Install WebSphere Application Server v5.0 Fixpack 1 (for base)
Stop WebSphere
cd <WAS_HOME>/bin
./stopServer.sh server1

Stop HTTP Server
cd <HTTP_HOME>/bin
./adminctl stop
./apachectl stop

Change to the directory in which you downloaded Fixpack 1 and run:

For UNIX: ./updateWizard.sh &

For Windows:

Click Next
At product found window, click Next
Select Install Fix packs and click Next
Wait while install shield scans system
At fix pack to install window, click Next
Make sure that IBM HTTPServer is selected and click Next
Leave the default for the install directory and click Next
At the summary window, click Next
Wait while install occurs
Click Finish
