1 Installation Overview

Oracle Web Tier contains two main components: Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Web Cache. Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) is also installed by default. Together, these products are responsible for managing incoming HTTP requests, caching web messages, and sending XML and HTML back to the client.

The Oracle Web Tier installation will give you the option of installing Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Web Cache. Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server is automatically installed and you will not have the option to de-select this product.

The chapter includes the following sections:

- Section 1.1, "Oracle Web Tier Components"

- Section 1.2, "Installation Roadmap"

- Section 1.3, "Oracle Web Tier Directory Structure"

1.1 Oracle Web Tier Components

Oracle Web Tier contains the following components:

- Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle HTTP Server provides a listener for Oracle WebLogic Server and the framework for hosting static pages, dynamic pages, and applications over the Web. It is based on Apache 2.2.10 infrastructure, and includes modules developed specifically by Oracle. The features of single sign-on, clustered deployment, and high availability enhance the operation of the Oracle HTTP Server.

- Oracle Web Cache
Oracle Web Cache is a content-aware server accelerator, or reverse proxy, for the Web tier that improves the performance, scalability, and availability of Web sites that run on Oracle HTTP Server. Oracle Web Cache is the primary caching mechanism provided with Oracle Fusion Middleware. Caching improves the performance, scalability, and availability of Web sites that run on Oracle WebLogic Server by storing frequently accessed URLs in memory.

- Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN)
OPMN provides a command-line interface for you to monitor and manage Oracle Fusion Middleware components and sub-components. The OPMN server should be started as soon as possible after turning on the computer. OPMN must be running whenever OPMN-managed components are turned on or off.

For more information about these components, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Concepts.

2 Installing Oracle Web Tier

This chapter describes how to install Oracle Web Tier Utilities Suite of products. During the install and configuration process, you will have the option to install and configure the following products:

- Oracle HTTP Server (OHS)

- Oracle Web Cache

Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN) is installed and configured by default.

The following topics are covered:

- Section 2.1, "System Requirements and Certification"

- Section 2.2, "Installing on DHCP Hosts"

- Section 2.3, "Installing on a Non-Networked Computer"

- Section 2.4, "Installing on a Multihomed Computer"

- Section 2.5, "Installation Instructions"

- Section 2.6, "Post-Installation Tasks"

- Section 2.7, "Verifying the Installation"

2.1 System Requirements and Certification

The system requirements document covers information such as hardware and software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches. This document can be found on Oracle Technology Network (OTN):

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm

The certification document covers supported installation types, platforms, operating systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

2.2 Installing on DHCP Hosts

If you are installing Oracle Web Tier on a DHCP host, you must follow the configuration steps in this section for your platform.

2.2.1 For UNIX Platforms

On UNIX systems, configure the host to resolve hostnames to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:

127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

After doing so, check that the hostname resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:

/bin/ping hostname.domainname

2.2.2 For Windows x86 Platforms

On Windows systems, install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server (see Section 2.2.3, "Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)"). This assigns a local IP address to your computer.

After installing the adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format, immediately after the localhost line:

IP_address   hostname.domainname   hostname

Replace IP_address with the local IP address of the loopback adapter.

2.2.3 Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)

To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware.

Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click Add Hardware.

2. In the "Welcome" window, click Next.

3. In the "Is the hardware connected?" window, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, then click Next.

4. In the "The following hardware is already installed on your computer" window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, then click Next.

5. In the "The wizard can help you install other hardware" window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, then click Next.

6. In the "From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing" window, select Network adapters, then click Next.

7. In the "Select Network Adapter" window, make the following selections:

- Manufacturer: Microsoft

- Network Adapter: Microsoft Loopback Adapter

8. Click Next.

9. In the "The wizard is ready to install your hardware" window, click Next.

10. In the "Completing the Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Finish.

11. If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer.

12. Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel.

13. Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named "Local Area Connection 2". Choose Properties.

14. On the "General" tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.

15. In the "Properties" dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:

1. IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:

192.168.x.x (x is any value between 1 and 255)
10.10.10.10

2. Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.

3. Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.

4. Leave all other fields empty.

5. Click OK.

16. In the "Local Area Connection 2 Properties" dialog, click OK.

17. Close Network Connections.

18. Restart the computer.

2.2.4 Removing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)

To remove a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:

1. Start the System Control panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > System.

Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click System.

2. In the "Hardware" tab, click Device Manager.

3. In the "Device Manager" window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

4. Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.

5. Click OK.

2.3 Installing on a Non-Networked Computer

You can install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.

In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 2.2, "Installing on DHCP Hosts" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts file on your system.

2.4 Installing on a Multihomed Computer

You can install Oracle Web Tier on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for each hostname.

The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in /etc/hosts (on UNIX) or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Windows) file. So if your file looks like the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.222.333.444 myhost1.mycompany.com myhost1
20.222.333.444 devhost2.mycompany.com devhost2

myhost1.mycompany.com would be picked for configuration.

For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.

2.5 Installation Instructions

This section contains information and instructions for installing Oracle Web Tier. The following topics are covered:

- Section 2.5.1, "Installation Types"

- Section 2.5.2, "Installation Log Files"

- Section 2.5.3, "Starting the Installer"

- Section 2.5.4, "Inventory Screens (UNIX Only)"

- Section 2.5.5, "Installation Instructions for the "Install and Configure" Installation Type"

- Section 2.5.6, "Installation Instructions for the "Install Only" Installation Type"

2.5.1 Installation Types

The Oracle Web Tier installer provides two installation options:

- Installation Instructions for the "Install and Configure" Installation Type

- Installation Instructions for the "Install Only" Installation Type

The Install and Configure option will install the product binaries in an Oracle Home directory and create and configure a working instance in an Oracle Instance directory. After this is complete, you should be able to begin configuring and managing your products using the Administration Console or Enterprise Manager.

Note:
For more information about Oracle Home and Oracle Instance directories, refer to "Installation Overview" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.

For more information, refer to Section 2.5.5, "Installation Instructions for the "Install and Configure" Installation Type"

The Install Software - Do Not Configure option only installs the software binaries in an Oracle Home directory. You must then manually run the Configuration Tool from your Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/bin (for UNIX) or Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME\bin (for Windows) directory to configure your products before you can use them. This option can be used to quickly create multiple instances of the software that share a common disk.

For more information, refer to Section 2.5.6, "Installation Instructions for the "Install Only" Installation Type"

2.5.2 Installation Log Files

The installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/log (for UNIX) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (for Windows) directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

The following install log files are written to the log directory:

- installdate-time-stamp.log

- installdate-time-stamp.out

- installActionsdate-time-stamp.log

- installProfiledate-time-stamp.log

- oraInstalldate-time-stamp.err

- oraInstalldate-time-stamp.log

If you start the installer with the -printtime parameter, the timeTakendate-time-stamp.log file is created in the same directory.

2.5.3 Starting the Installer

To start the installer, insert the CD-ROM and run the following command:

On UNIX:

% ./runInstaller

On Windows:

G:\ setup.exe

2.5.4 Inventory Screens (UNIX Only)

If you are installing on a UNIX system, and if this is the first time any Oracle product is being installed on your system with the Oracle Universal Installer, you will be asked to provide the location of an inventory directory. This is where the installer will set up subdirectories and maintain inventory data for each Oracle product that is installed on this system.

2.6 Post-Installation Tasks

After installation and configuration are complete, there may be some post-installation tasks you need to perform, depending on your specific topology and configuration. The following topics are covered in this section:

- Configuring Routing Between Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server

- Using Oracle Web Cache with Oracle BAM

2.6.1 Configuring Routing Between Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server

By default, routing between Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle WebLogic Server is not configured. In order to allow requests to be proxied from Oracle HTTP Server to Oracle WebLogic Server, you must configure a plug-in.

For instructions on how to do this, see "mod_wl_ohs" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle HTTP Server.

2.6.2 Using Oracle Web Cache with Oracle BAM

If you are using Oracle Web Cache with Oracle BAM, you must perform the configuration steps detailed in "Basic Tasks for Configuring and Monitoring Caching Rules" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Web Cache.

Use the following Oracle BAM settings:

Expression Type : Regular Expression
URL Expression : oracle.bam.web (or Event=viewReport, for the second rule)
HTTP Methods : Select all
Leave URL and POST Body Parameters empty.
POST Body Expression : .*
Caching Policy : Don't Cache
Leave Comment as it is.
Compression : Off
Enabled : yes

2.7 Verifying the Installation

You can perform any combination of the following tasks to verify that your installation was successful:

- Verify the Installation Logs

- Verifying the Domain Server Logs

- Verifying OPMN Status

- Check Browser URLs

2.7.1 Verify the Installation Logs

Check for the presence of installation log files in logs directory inside your Oracle Inventory directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the WebTier_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

2.7.2 Verifying the Domain Server Logs

Check the domain server logs, which are located in the servers directory inside the domain home directory. For example, on UNIX systems:

Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name

On Windows systems:

C Silent Installation

This appendix describes how to install Oracle Web Tier from the command line in silent mode. This appendix contains the following topics:

- Section C.1, "What is a Silent Installation?"

- Section C.2, "Creating Response Files"

- Section C.3, "Pre-Installation Tasks"

- Section C.4, "Silent Installation Instructions"

C.1 What is a Silent Installation?

Silent installation eliminates the need to monitor the Oracle Web Tier installation because no graphical output is displayed and no input by the user is required.

Silent installation of Oracle Web Tier is accomplished by supplying the installer with a response file and using the -silent flag on the command line. The response file is a text file containing variables and parameter values which provide answers to the installer prompts.

Note:
For UNIX users, if this is a first time installation of Oracle Web Tier you must create the oraInst.loc file before starting. Please refer to Section C.3.1, "UNIX Users: Creating the oraInst.loc File" for more information.
Following installation of Oracle Web Tier, you need to run the root.sh script as the root user. The root.sh script detects settings of environment variables and enables you to enter the full path of the local bin directory.

Note:
For Windows users, if this is a first time installation of Oracle Web Tier, you must create the registry keys before starting. Registry key creation is described in Section C.3.2, "Windows Users: Creating the Registry Key"

C.2 Creating Response Files

Before doing a silent installation, you must provide information specific to your installation in a response file. The installer will fail if you attempt an installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor

Table C-1 lists the response files provided in the Disk1/stage/Response (on UNIX) or Disk1\stage\Response (on Windows) directory on the installation CD-ROM:

Table C-1 Oracle Web Tier Installation and Configuration Response File Templates

Template

Description

WebTierConfigureOnly.rsp

This is the template response file that should be used if you have already installed the Oracle Web Tier software but have not yet run the Configuration Tool.

The equivalent using the GUI would be running the config.sh (for UNIX) or config.bat (for Windows) script after you have already installed the software using the Install Software - Do Not Configure option on the Select Installation Type Screen.

See Section C.2.1, "Contents of the Web TierConfigureOnly.rsp File" to view the contents of this file.

WebTierInstallAndConfigure.rsp

This is the template response file that should be used if you want to install and configure Oracle Web Tier products in one step.

The equivalent using the GUI would be selecting Install and Configure option on the Select Installation Type Screen.

See Section C.2.2, "Contents of the Web TierInstallAndConfigure.rsp File" to view the contents of this file.

WebTierSoftwareOnly.rsp

This is the template response file that should be used if you only want to install the software on your system. You must run the Configuration Tool (either from the command line or the GUI) later before you can begin to manage these products.

The equivalent using the GUI would be selecting Install Software - Do Not Configure option on the Select Installation Type Screen.

See Section C.2.3, "Contents of the Web TierSoftwareOnly.rsp File" to view the contents of this file.

In addition to these pre-existing response files, you can create your own response file by running the install GUI, then clicking Save on the Installation Summary Screen. You will be prompted for a name and location where you want to create this response file. After it is created, you can use it exactly as-is to replicate the installation on other systems, or modify it as needed.

C.2.4 Securing Your Silent Installation

Your response files contain certain passwords required by the installer. To find the places in the response file where passwords are required, search for the <SECURE VALUE> string and replace this value with the actual password. These passwords are stored in the response file clear text format. To minimize security issues regarding these passwords in the response file, follow these guidelines:

- Set the permissions on the response files so that they are readable only by the operating system user who will be performing the silent installation.

- If possible, remove the response files from the system after the silent installation is completed.

C.3 Pre-Installation Tasks

This section covers the pre-installation tasks that may be required before you are able to perform a silent installation.

The following topics are covered:

- Section C.3.1, "UNIX Users: Creating the oraInst.loc File"

- Section C.3.2, "Windows Users: Creating the Registry Key"

C.3.1 UNIX Users: Creating the oraInst.loc File

The Oracle inventory directory is used by the installer to keep track of all Oracle products installed on the computer. The inventory directory is stored in a file called oraInst.loc. If this file does not already exist on your system, you must create it before starting a silent installation. This file is used by the installer.

1. Log in as the root user.

prompt> su

2. Using a text editor such as vi or emacs, create the oraInst.loc file in the directory of your choice. The contents of the file consist of the following two lines:

inventory_loc=oui_inventory_directory
inst_group=oui_install_group

Replace oui_inventory_directory with the full path to the directory where you want the installer to create the inventory directory. Then, replace oui_install_group with the name of the group whose members have write permissions to this directory.

3. Exit from the root user.

# exit

C.3.2 Windows Users: Creating the Registry Key

If you have not installed Oracle Web Tier on your computer, then you need to create the following Registry key and value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Oracle / inst_loc = [inventory_directory]

Replace Inventory_Directory with the full path to your installer files. For example:

C:Program Files\Oracle\Inventory

C.4 Silent Installation Instructions

The syntax for running the installer from the command line on UNIX systems is shown below:

runInstaller [-mode] [-options] [(<CommandLinevariable=Value>)*]

On Windows systems:

setup.exe [-mode] [-options] [(<CommandLinevariable=Value>)*]

Session variables are specified using session:varName=value.

Component Variables

Component variables are specified using session:compInternalName:[Version:]varName=value.

C.4.1 Sample Commands

If this is the first time you are installing on your system (meaning there is no pre-existing Oracle inventory location), use the following command to perform a silent installation on a UNIX system:

./runInstaller -silent -response file -invPtrLoc file

On a Windows system:

setup.exe -silent -response file -invPtrLoc file

Below is a full example of this command on a UNIX system:

./runInstaller -silent -response /home/Oracle/response/Web TierInstallAndConfigure.rsp -invPtrLoc /home/Oracle/oraInst.loc

On a Windows system:

setup.exe -silent -response C:\products\Oracle\response\Web TierInstallAndConfigure.rsp -invPtrLoc C:\products\Oracle\oraInst.loc

If you have already installed an Oracle product on your system and do not need to specify an inventory location, then you can use a command similar to the following on a UNIX system:

./runInstaller -silent -response file

On a Windows system:

setup.exe -silent -response file

Below is a full example of this command on a UNIX system:

./runInstaller -silent -response /home/Oracle/response/Web TierInstallAndConfigure.rsp

On a Windows system:

setup.exe -silent -response C:\products\Oracle\response\Web TierInstallAndConfigure.rsp

C.4.2 Sample Output

Below is a sample output on a UNIX system from a silent install using the WebTierSoftwareOnly.rsp template:

D Troubleshooting

This appendix describes solutions to common problems that you might encounter when installing Oracle Web Tier. It contains the following sections:

- Section D.1, "General Troubleshooting Tips"

- Section D.2, "Troubleshooting Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation"

- Section D.3, "Configuring Java Required Files (JRF)"

- Section D.4, "Need More Help?"

D.1 General Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter an error during installation:

- Read the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for the latest updates. The most current version of the release notes is available on Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation).

- Verify that your computer meets the requirements specified in Section 2.1, "System Requirements and Certification".

- If you entered incorrect information on one of the installation screens, return to that screen by clicking Back until you see the screen.

- If an error occurred while the installer is copying or linking files:

1. Note the error and review the installation log files.

2. Remove the failed installation by following the steps in Chapter 3, "Deinstalling Oracle Web Tier".

3. Correct the issue that caused the error.

4. Restart the installation.

D.2 Troubleshooting Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation

This section contains solutions to common problems that you might encounter when installing Oracle Fusion Middleware. The following topics are covered:

- Section D.2.1, "Installation Log Files"

- Section D.2.2, "Configuration Log Files"

D.2.1 Installation Log Files

The installer writes logs files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/log (for UNIX) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (for Windows) directory. On UNIX systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

The following install log files are written to the log directory:

- installdate-time-stamp.log

- installdate-time-stamp.out

- installActionsdate-time-stamp.log

- installProfiledate-time-stamp.log

- oraInstalldate-time-stamp.err

- oraInstalldate-time-stamp.log

If you start the installer with the -printtime parameter, the timeTakendate-time-stamp.log file is created in the same directory.

D.2.2 Configuration Log Files

To create a log file of your configuration session, start the Configuration Wizard with the -log option, as shown below:

On UNIX:

% ./config.sh -log=log_filename

On Windows:

G:\ config.cmd -log=log_filename

If you specify an absolute path with your log_filename then your log file will be created there. If you only specify a file name with no path, then the log files are created in the Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME/common/bin (for UNIX) or Web_Tier_ORACLE_HOME\common\bin (for Windows) directory.

D.3 Configuring Java Required Files (JRF)

Java Required Files (JRF) bits are included with an Oracle Web Tier installation because they are required by some Oracle Web Tier components. These bits should not be used to configure JRF in a WebLogic domain.

To configure JRF in a WebLogic domain, you should the JRF included with some other Oracle Fusion Middleware products, such as Oracle SOA Suite or Enterprise Manager. Configuring JRF from the Web Tier Oracle Home directory is not supported.
