Installing WebLogic SIP Server

Installing WebLogic SIP Server Using Graphical-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install WebLogic SIP Server using a graphical user interface:

Before You Start

Before you start installing WebLogic SIP Server, please review the following information:

Make sure that you are installing the product on a hardware/software configuration that is supported by WebLogic SIP Server. A complete list of supported configurations can be found at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13196_01/platform/suppconfigs/index.html.
Read Preparing to Install WebLogic SIP Server, specifically, the following sections:

You cannot reinstall WebLogic SIP Server components on top of a previously installed version of the same component. You can, however, add components to an existing installation. For example, you can install WebLogic Server during one installation, and WebLogic Integration or WebLogic Portal during separate installations. However, to reinstall the same version of one of the product components, you must first uninstall the component. Alternatively, you can install the new version in another location.

If you are adding components to an existing installation of WebLogic SIP Server, you should shut down any running servers before starting the installation.

All WebLogic SIP Server components installed in a BEA product directory (for example, /bea/wlss21) must be at the same version level. If you attempt to install additional components at a higher version than those that are already installed in that directory, the installation program prompts you to upgrade your existing components before you can proceed with the installation. For details on upgrading your installation, see Upgrading a WebLogic SIP Server 2.0.x Configuration to Version 2.1 in Configuring and Managing WebLogic SIP Server.

Starting the Installation Program in Graphical Mode on Windows Platforms

Note: If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server on a Windows system that supports more than one monitor, you must disable all but one monitor before starting the installation program.

To start the installation in graphical mode on a Windows system:

If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM, go to step 3. If you are installing from a Web download, complete the following procedure:

Download the software as described in WebLogic SIP Server Distribution Methods.

Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program and double-click the installation file:

wlssXXX_win32.exe (WebLogic Server package installer)
In these filenames, XXX represents the version number of the software you are installing.
The installation program begins to install WebLogic SIP Server.
Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM:

Insert the WebLogic SIP Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

If the installation program does not start automatically, open Windows Explorer and double-click the CD-ROM icon.

Navigate to the folder for the Windows installation and double-click the installation file for your platform:

wlssXXX_win32.exe (package installer)
In this filename, XXX represents the version number of the software you are installing.
The installation program begins to install WebLogic SIP Server.

Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

Starting the Installation Program in Graphical Mode on UNIX Platforms

The WebLogic SIP Server installation program requires a Java run-time environment (JRE) to run. A JRE is bundled in the Windows installation program, and in some UNIX installation programs (those with filenames ending in .bin). For other UNIX platforms, the WebLogic SIP Server installation program does not include a JRE. Filenames for these installation programs end in .jar. To run the .jar installation programs, you must have an appropriate version of a Java 2 SDK installed on your system, and include the bin directory of the Java 2 SDK at the beginning of your PATH system variable.

Notes: It is important that you use an SDK because the installation process sets the JAVA_HOME and related variables to point to this directory. All scripts installed with WebLogic SIP Server use this SDK by default, including scripts to start sample applications, the Configuration Wizard, and other WebLogic development tools.

To run graphical-mode installation, your console must support a Java-based GUI. If the installation program determines that your system cannot support a Java-based GUI, it automatically starts running in console-mode. For details, see Installing WebLogic SIP Server Using Console-Mode Installation.

Starting Graphical-Mode Installation for .bin Installation Files

If you have an installation program for UNIX platforms with a filename that ends in .bin, complete the following steps to start the installation in graphical mode:

If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM, go to step 3. If you are installing from a Web download, complete the following procedure:

Download the software as described in Web Distribution.

Go to the directory in which you downloaded the installation program.

Launch the installation by entering the following commands:

chmod a+x filename.bin ./filename.bin
Here filename.bin is the name of the WebLogic SIP Server installation program specific to your platform.

Note: You can also include the -log=full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example:

java -jar pj_platformXXX_generic.jar -log=/home/logs/platform_install.log
For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
The installation program begins to install WebLogic SIP Server.

Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM:

Insert the WebLogic SIP Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and go to the CD-ROM directory.

Navigate to the folder that contains the installation program for your platform.

Invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

./filename.bin
Here filename.bin is the name of the WebLogic SIP Server installation program specific to your platform, for example platformXXX_solaris.bin, where XXX represents the version number of the software you are installing.

Note: You can also include the -log=full_path_to_log_file option in the command line to create a verbose installation log. For example:

java -jar pj_platformXXX_generic.jar -log=/home/logs/platform_install.log
For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.

Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

Starting Graphical-Mode Installation for .jar Installation Files

If you have an installation program for UNIX platforms with a filename that ends in .jar, follow these steps to start the installation in graphical mode:

Add the bin directory of the appropriate SDK to the beginning of the PATH variable definition on the target system. For example:

PATH=JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH export PATH
Here JAVA_HOME represents the full path to the SDK directory.

Do one of the following:

Download the software as described in Web Distribution.
If you are installing from CD-ROM, insert the WebLogic SIP Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and go to the CD-ROM directory.

Go to the directory that contains the installation file and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

java -jar filename.jar
Here, filename.jar is the name of the WebLogic SIP Server installation file, for example pj_platformXXX_generic.jar.

Proceed to Running the Installation Program.

Running the Installation Program

The installation program prompts you to enter specific information about your system and configuration. For instructions on responding to the prompts during installation, see the following table.

In this window . . .	Perform the following action . . .
Welcome	Click Next to proceed with the installation. You may cancel the installation at any time by clicking Exit.
BEA License Agreement	Read the BEA Software License Agreement and indicate your acceptance of the terms of the agreement by selecting Yes. To continue with the installation, you must accept the terms of the license agreement and then click Next.
Choose BEA Home Directory	Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system. If you already have a BEA Home directory on your system, you can select that directory (recommended) or create a new BEA Home directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the WebLogic SIP Server installation program automatically creates the directory for you. For details about the BEA Home directory, see Choosing a BEA Home Directory.
Choose Product Directory	Specify the directory in which you want to install the WebLogic Platform software and click Next. You can accept the default product directory (`wlss210`) or create a new product directory. For additional information, see Choosing a Product Installation Directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates the directory for you.
Install Complete	Specify whether you want to run the QuickStart application. QuickStart, designed to assist first-time users in evaluating, learning, and using WebLogic Platform, provides quick access to the WebLogic Platform Tour and other samples, other development tools, and the online documentation. Clear the check box for this option if you do not want to launch QuickStart. Click Done to exit the installation program and launch QuickStart, if selected.

What's Next?

You can start using the product immediately after installing it for the first time because, by default, WebLogic SIP Server uses the development license that is installed in BEA Home directory. For additional information, see Configuring a WebLogic SIP Server Domain.
