To create or configure a WebSphere Commerce or a WebSphere Commerce Payments instance, you should use the Configuration Manager.
To open WebSphere Commerce Configuration Manager:
- Start the server by doing the following:
- Log in as root.
- Open a terminal window.
- Issue the following command:
xhost +host_name
where host_name is the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager.Note: When starting the Configuration Manager over a X-client such as Exceed, the xhost command must be issued from the console terminal, while the other commands are issued from a terminal session in the X-client. When using an X-client, host_name is the fully-qualified domain name of the X-client machine.
- Issue the following command:
su - wasuser_ID
where wasuser_ID is the non-root user ID created before installing WebSphere Commerce. The default WebSphere Application Server user name is wasuser. - Issue the following commands:
export DISPLAY=host_name:0.0 cd WC_installdir/bin ./config_server.sh
where host_name is the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager.Notes:
- Do not close the terminal window you entered the config_server.sh command in or the Configuration Manager server will stop.
- Do not run the Configuration Manager server as a background process - this is a potential security risk.
- Do not leave the Configuration Manager server running unless there is a client connected - this a potential security risk.
- Start the client by doing the following:
- Open another terminal window.
- Issue the following command:
xhost +host_name
where host_name is the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you want to run the Configuration Manager. - Issue the following command:
su - wasuser_ID
where wasuser_ID is the non-root user ID created before installing WebSphere Commerce. The default WebSphere Application Server user name is wasuser. - Issue the following commands:
export DISPLAY=host_name:0.0 cd WC_installdir/bin ./config_client.sh &
where host_name is the fully qualified host name of the machine from which you want to access the Configuration Manager.
- In the Configuration Authentication window, enter the Configuration Manager user ID and password and click OK.
