Installation

  1. When installing WebSphere Commerce on Korean Redhat 7.2, Korean characters cannot be properly displayed in Websphere Application Server Administrator's Console. Use the following instructions to update the Korean font support where fontname is one of the following:
    1. Open /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/java/jre/lib/font.properties.ko in the vi editor.
    2. Do a global search and replace for the font you choose using the following instructions in the vi command state:
      :1,$ s/-gothic-/-fontname-/g
      :1,$ s/-mincho-/-fontname-/g
    3. Add the following to the # font filenames section:
      filename.fontname_medium_r=fontname.ttf
    4. Save the file and exit vi.

      5. To ensure that InstallShield MultiPlatform displays correctly in Korean RedHat Linux 7.2, you also need to add font attribute support to /opt/Websphere/AppServer/java/jre/lib/font.properties.ko.

      1. Find the following section in the file:
        fontcharset.sansserif.0=sun.io.CharToByteISO8859_1
        fontcharset.sansserif.1=sun.io.CharToByteEUC_KR
        fontcharset.sansserif.2=sun.awt.CharToByteSymbol
         
      2. Add the following line:
        fontcharset.sansserif.1=sun.awt.motif.CharToByteX11KSC5601
        to the section of the file as shown below:
        fontcharset.sansserif.0=sun.io.CharToByteISO8559_1
        fontcharset.sansserif.1=sun.awt.motif.CharToByteX11KSC5601
        fontcharset.sansserif.2=sun.io.CharToByteEUC_KR
        fontcharset.sansserif.3=sun.awt.CharToByteSymbol
         
      3. Find the following section in the file:
        fontcharset.dialog.0=sun.io.CharToByteISO8859_1
        fontcharset.dialog.1=sun.io.CharToByteEUC_KR
        fontcharset.dialog.2=sun.awt.CharToByteSymbol
         
      4. Add the following line:
        fontcharset.dialog.1=sun.awt.motif.CharToByteX11KSC5601
        to the section of the file as shown below:
        fontcharset.dialog.0=sun.io.CharToByteISO8859_1
        fontcharset.dialog.1=sun.awt.motif.CharToByteX11KSC5601
        fontcharset.dialog.2=sun.io.CharToByteEUC_KR
        fontcharset.dialog.3=sun.awt.CharToByteSymbol
         
      5. Restart WebSphere Application Server.
         
  1. Before installing German WebSphere Application Server 4.0.1 on German RedHat (TM) Linux 7.2, you need to disable the space_checking (one of the several prereq checkers) using the following steps:
    1. Ensure you are logged in as user ID root.
       
    2. Mount the WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition CD and switch to the install directory on the CD ROM by typing:
      mount CDROM_dir
      cd /CDROM_dir
      where CDROM_dir is the directory on which your CD-ROM is mounted.
       
    3. Type the following command to copy prereq.properties to your hard drive (i.e.: /tmp)
      cp prereq.properties /tmp
       
    4. Change the file's permission as follows:
      chmod 777 /tmp/prereq.properties
       
    5. Edit the prereq.properties file. The line(s) that need to be changed are at the very top of the file. Presently the start of the file should look like this:
      [WAS]
      prereq_checker=1
      prereq_checker_unix=1
      space_check=1
      webSphere_check=1
      gskit_check=1
      ihs_check=1
      oltDebugger_check=1
      database_check=1
      aes_nt_diskspace=200
      ae_nt_diskspace=200
      Change the space_check=1 to space_check=0.
      This will disable the operating system level checking. You can also disable other forms of checking, such as database_check, by simply changing the value from "1" to "0".
       
    6. Save the file.
       
    7. Switch to the install directory on the CD-ROM and start the WebSphere Application Server installation by pointing to /tmp/prereq.properties in the following way:
      cd /CDROM_dir
      ./install.sh -prereqfile /tmp/prereq.properties
