4.1 Configuring the Oracle Web Tier

Prior to configuration, the Oracle web tier software must be installed on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2, as described in Section 3.2, Installing Oracle HTTP Server. The steps for configuring the Oracle web tier are the same for both WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2. Perform these steps to configure the Oracle web tier: 1. Change the directory to the location of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard: WEBHOST1 cd ORACLE_HOMEbin 2. Start the Configuration Wizard: WEBHOST1 .config.sh

3. In the Welcome screen, click Next.

4. In the Configure Components screen, select Oracle HTTP Server and unselect

Associate Selected Components with WebLogic Domain . Make sure that Oracle Web Cache is not selected. Click Next. 4-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle ECM Suite 5. In the Specify Component Details screen, specify the following values: ■ Instance Home Location: u01apporacleadminwebn ■ AS Instance Name: webn ■ OHS Component Name: ohsn where n is a sequential number for your installation; for example, 1 for WEBHOST1, 2 for WEBHOST2, and so on. Click Next. 6. In high-availability implementations, whilst not mandatory, it makes life simpler if all of the ports used by the various components are synchronized across hosts. Oracle allows automatic port configuration to be bypassed by specifying ports to be used in a file. In the Configure Ports screen, select a file name and then click ViewEdit. The file will look like this: [OHS] Listen port for OHS component OHS Port = 7777 [OPMN] Process Manager Local port no OPMN Local Port = 1880 You can find a sample staticports.ini file on installation disk 1 in the stageResponse directory. Click Next. 7. In the Specify Security Updates screen, choose whether you want to receive security updates from Oracle support and if you do, enter your e-mail address. 8. In the Installation Summary screen, review the selections to ensure they are correct. If they are not, click Back to modify selections on previous screens. When you are ready, click Configure. 9. Multiple configuration assistants are launched in succession; this process can be lengthy. When it completes, click Next, and the Installation Complete screen appears.

10. In the Installation Completed screen, click Finish to exit.
