WebSphere Commerce V5.6.1 installation
For details about installing WebSphere Commerce V5.6.1 on a single node using the IBM HTTP Server and DB2, refer to the WebSphere Commerce Installation Guide V5.6.1.
We accepted the default settings for most options. We used the WebSphere Commerce Installation Wizard to install WebSphere Commerce, WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, and WebSphere Commerce Payments.
The key steps and options that we entered during the installation:
We ran setup from the IBM WebSphere Commerce V5.6 CD 1.
We selected Quick Installation.
For Install Destination Path, we entered:
C:\WebSphere
We selected to install WebSphere Commerce Payments.
We installed the software components to the following directories:
IBM DB2 UDB: c:\websphere\sqllib
IBM HTTP Server: c:\websphere\IBMHTTPServer
IBM WebSphere Application Server: c:\websphere\AppServer
IBM WebSphere Commerce: c:\websphere\CommerceServer561
We used the admin user ID that was added to the administrator group and had rights assigned for DB2 in Create admin user and assign user rights.
The Quick Installation process automatically creates WebSphere Commerce and WebSphere Commerce Payments instances. If you use the customer installation option, create the instances yourself after the installation process has completed.
If you use the Quick Installation process, the default setting (that a password is required to start WebSphere Payments) will be set. This requires that after you start the payments server you also have to start IBMPayServer.
To start IBMPayServer:
1. Open a command line window.
2. Change directories to wc_installdir\payments\bin
3. Run the command IBMPayServer instance password
instance is the name of the WebSphere Payments instance.
password is the password assigned to the WebSphere Payments instance.
