4.4 Installing Oracle HTTP Server

This section explains how to install Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2 Enterprise Deployments only. This section contains the following topics: ■ Section 4.4.1, Prerequisites ■ Section 4.4.2, Installation ■ Section 4.4.3, Upgrading Oracle HTTP Server from 11.1.1.2 to 11.1.1.5

4.4.1 Prerequisites

Prior to installing the Oracle HTTP server, check that your machines meet the following requirements: 1. Ensure that the system, patch, kernel, and other requirements are met as specified in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Web Tier. 2. Ensure that port 7777 is not in use, as described in Section 4.4.1.1 . 3. On Linux platforms, if the etcoraInst.loc file exists, check that its contents are correct, as described in Section 4.4.1.2 .

4.4.1.1 Check Port 7777

Because Oracle HTTP Server is installed by default on port 7777, you must ensure that port 7777 is not used by any other service on the nodes. To check if this port is in use, run the following command before installing Oracle HTTP Server. You must free the port if it is in use. netstat -an | grep 7777

4.4.1.2 Check oraInst.loc

Check that the inventory directory is correct and that you have write permissions for that directory. If the etcoraInst.loc file does not exist, you can skip this step. The contents of the oraInst.loc file are shown in this example: inventory_loc=u01apporaInventory inst_group=oinstall

4.4.2 Installation

You can install it on shared storage, but if you do that, you must allow access from the Web Tier DMZ to your shared disk array, which is undesirable. If you decide to install onto shared disk then please see the Release Notes for further configuration information. Start the Oracle Universal Installer as follows: On UNIX, issue the command runInstaller On Windows, double-click setup.exe.
