Use an existing IBM HTTP Server


Overview

To preinstall IBM HTTP Server with WebSphere Commerce, install the Web server and bring it up to the required level before starting the WebSphere Commerce installation wizard.

You cannot use the quick installation option of the installation wizard. You must use the custom installation option.


Procedure

  1. Install IHS according to the documentation provided with the version of the IHS package that you are using.

    Linux on eServer, iSeries, and pSeries only supports Open SSL as a cryptographic engine. If the Open SSL license is not accepted during installation, SSL functions might not function properly.

    For non-root installs, do not install IHS at the default location...

    /home/wasuser

    Use another location, for example:

    /usr/IBMIHS

  2. Install the WAS Web server plug-in.

  3. After creating instances for WebSphere Commerce and WebSphere Commerce Payments, follow the instructions in mandatory post-instance creation tasks
