Installing WebSphere Portal 6.1.5 on Linux ....
Having had a bit of a download fest in the office yesterday, I thought I'd start to document my first 6.1.5 installation.
I downloaded two deployments of WebSphere Portal: -
WebSphere Portal Express
- includes Lotus Web Content Management
- installs on/with/using DB2 UDB Express
WebSphere Portal Server
- just the portal framework with no WCM
- installs on/with/using Apache Derby ( aka Cloudscape )
For WebSphere Portal Express, I searched for, and downloaded elements of, the package known as: -
IBM WebSphere Portal Express for Linux x86, V6.1.5 Multilingual eAssembly (CR9UKML)
IL-Setup IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.5 - IBM WebSphere Portal Express Install V6.1.5 (W-Setup, I-Setup, IL-Setup) Multiplatform Multilingual (CZ8G8ML)
IL-1 IBM WebSphere Portal V6.1.5, WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.5 and Lotus Web Content Management V6.1.5 - WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for Linux on x86-32, V6.1.0.27 (IL-1) Multilingual (CZ8H5ML)IL-2 WebSphere Portal Express V6.1 - DB2 UDB Express Edition for Linux on x86, 32-bit (IL-2) Multilingual (C1HA2ML)
IL-3 IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.5 - Portal Server Express component V6.1.5 (Disk 1 of 3)(W-3, I-3, IL-3) Multiplatform Multilingual (CZ8I8ML)IL-4 IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.5 - Portal Server Express component V6.1.5 (Disk 2 of 3)(W-4, I-4, IL-4) Multiplatform Multilingual (CZ8I9ML)
IL-5 IBM WebSphere Portal Express V6.1.5 - Portal Server Express component V6.1.5 (Disk 3 of 3)(W-5, I-5, IL-5) Multiplatform Multilingual (CZ8IAML)
and unpacked them using the following shell script ( unpack.sh ): -
unzip CZ8G8ML.zip -d IL-Setup
mkdir IL-1
tar xvzf CZ8H5ML.tgz -C IL-1
unzip C1HA2ML.zip -d IL-2
unzip CZ8I8ML.zip -d IL-3
unzip CZ8I9ML.zip -d IL-4
unzip CZ8IAML.zip -d IL-5
mkdir IL-1
tar xvzf CZ8H5ML.tgz -C IL-1
unzip C1HA2ML.zip -d IL-2
unzip CZ8I8ML.zip -d IL-3
unzip CZ8I9ML.zip -d IL-4
unzip CZ8IAML.zip -d IL-5
into my /tmp directory.
It's worth noting that WebSphere Portal Express ONLY comes in a 32-bit deployment on Intel, unlike WebSphere Portal Server ( see below ).
For WebSphere Portal Server, I searched for, and downloaded elements of the package known as: -

and unpacked them using the following shell script ( unpack.sh ): -
unzip CZ8G7ML.zip -d IL-Setup
mkdir IL-1
tar xvzf CZ8H5ML.tgz -C IL-1
unzip CZ8HDML.zi p -d IL-2

unzip CZ8I5ML.zip -d IL-4
unzip CZ8I6ML.zip -d IL-5
unzip CZ8I7ML.zip -d IL-5A
Right, time to start the first installation, and then make breakfast ...
