3.1 Installing Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2

As described in Section 2.3, Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure, Oracle recommends installing Oracle Web Tier onto local disk. You may, however, install the Web Tier onto shared disk, if this is the case: ■ Ensure the software is installed in at least two storage locations for redundancy. ■ The shared storage is different to that which is used for the application tier. To install Oracle HTTP Server on WEBHOST1 and WEBHOST2: 1. Check that your machines meet the following requirements: ■ Ensure that the system, patch, kernel, and other requirements are met as specified in the installation guide. ■ Because Oracle HTTP Server is installed by default on port 7777, you must ensure that port 7777 is not used by any 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 ports if they are in use. netstat -an | grep 7777 2. On Linux platforms, if the etcoraInst.loc file exists, check that its contents are correct. Specifically, 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. 3. Start the Oracle Universal Installer from the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g WebTier and Utilities DVD by issuing this command: runInstaller 4. If the Specify Inventory Directory screen appears, enter the location for the inventory and the user group and then click OK; otherwise, ignore steps 4 and 5 and continue with step 6.

5. Execute the root privileged actions as indicated in the dialog and then click OK.
