Installing WebLogic SIP Server Using Console-Mode Installation

The following sections describe how to install WebLogic SIP Server using console-mode installation:

 

Before You Start

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

 

Starting Console-Mode Installation on Windows Systems

Note: If you are installing WebLogic Platform 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 console mode on a Windows system:

  1. Log in to the target Windows system.
  2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window.
  3. If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM, go to step 4. If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from a Web download, complete the following procedure:
    1. Download the software as described in WebLogic SIP Server Distribution Methods.
    2. Go to the directory in which you downloaded the installation program.
    3. Launch the installation by entering one of the following commands:

      4. wlssXXX_win32.exe -mode=console (WebLogic Server package installer)

      In this filename, 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:
      Note: wlssXXX_win32 -mode=console -log=C:\logs\platform_install.log
      Note: For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.

      The installation program begins to install WebLogic SIP Server.

    4. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.
  4. If installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM:
    1. Insert the WebLogic SIP Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
    2. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window.
    3. Go to the CD-ROM directory and navigate to the folder for the installation program for your platform.
    4. Invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

      5. wlssXXX_win32.exe -mode=console (package installer)

      In this filename, 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:
      Note: wlssXXX_win32.exe -mode=console -log=D:\logs\platform_install.log
      Note: For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
    5. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.

 

Starting Console-Mode Installation on UNIX Systems

The WebLogic Platform 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 the 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 front of the PATH system variable.

Note: 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 Platform use this SDK by default, including scripts to start sample applications, the Configuration Wizard, and other WebLogic development tools.

Starting Console-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 console mode:

  1. Log in to the target UNIX system.
  2. If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM, go to step 3. If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from a Web download, complete the following procedure:
    1. Download the software as described in Web Distribution.
    2. Go to the directory where you downloaded the installation program.
    3. Launch the installation by entering the following commands:

      4. chmod a+x filename.bin
      ./      filename.bin -mode=console

      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:
      Note: wlssXXX_linux.bin -mode=console -log=/home/logs/platform_install.log
      Note: In this example, XXX represents the version number of the software you are installing. For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
    4. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.
  3. If you are installing WebLogic SIP Server from CD-ROM:
    1. Insert the WebLogic SIP Server CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
    2. Go to the CD-ROM directory and navigate to the folder for the installation program for your platform.
    3. Launch the installation procedure by entering the following commands:

      4. chmod a+x filename.bin

      ./filename.bin -mode=console

      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:
      Note: ./wlssXXX_solaris.bin -mode=console -log=/home/logs/platform_install.log
      Note: For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
    4. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.

Starting Console-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 console mode:

  1. Log in to the target UNIX system.
  2. Add the bin directory of the appropriate SDK to the beginning of the PATH variable definition on the target system. For example:

    3. PATH=JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export PATH

    Here JAVA_HOME represents the full path to the SDK directory.

  3. 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.
  4. Go to the directory that contains the installation file and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

    5. java -jar filename.jar -mode=console

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

    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:
    Note: java -jar wlssXXX_generic.jar -mode=console
       -log=/home/logs/platform_install.log
    Note: For more information, see Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
  5. Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation.

 

Running Console-Mode Installation

To complete the console-mode installation process, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice or by pressing Enter to accept the default. To exit the installation process, enter exit (or x, for short) in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter previous (or p, for short) at the prompt. To proceed to the following window, enter next (or n, for short).

Note: The sample console text and directory pathnames in this section use Windows conventions (backslashes) for pathnames, for example C:\bea\wlss220. When entering pathnames on a UNIX system, use the UNIX convention (forward slashes) in pathnames, for example, /home1/bea/wlss220.

The following procedure steps you through the installation program. Use this procedure after you have started the installation program in console mode as described in the previous sections.

  1. At the Welcome prompt, type next (or n for short) or press Enter to continue with the installation process.

    2. The BEA Systems License Agreement prompt is displayed.

  2. Read the Agreement and indicate your acceptance or rejection of its terms by doing one of the following at the prompt:
    • Type 1 to indicate your agreement with the terms of the license and proceed with the installation. To review the entire agreement, press Enter or type Down several times. Type Up to scroll back through sections previously displayed.
    • Type 2 if you do not agree with the terms of the license. If you type 2, the installation process terminates.

      • The Choose BEA Home directory prompt is displayed.

  3. Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system. For details about the BEA Home directory, see Choosing a BEA Home Directory.

    4. The installation program displays the following prompt: 

    Choose BEA Home Directory:
--------------------------
   *BEA home choice
  
  1¦Create a new BEA Home [C:\bea]
->2¦Use an existing BEA Home [D:\beahome1]
  
Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>
    Note: Instead of typing complete words when you want to enter [Exit], [Previous], and [Next], you can use the following one-letter shortcuts: x, p, and n, respectively.

    Do one of the following:

    • To use an existing BEA Home directory, type 2 or next (or n for short), or press Enter. If you have more than one BEA Home directory on your system, an additional prompt will display the directories. Type the number associated with the desired BEA Home directory.
    • To create a new BEA Home directory, type 1, then at the prompt, enter the full path of the BEA Home directory, for example C:\beahome2. If you specify a directory that does not exist, the installation program creates it for you.

      • Whether you accept the existing BEA Home directory or choose to create a new BEA Home directory, you are prompted to confirm your selection, as shown in the following sample: 

      Choose BEA Home Directory:
--------------------------
 
    *BEA home choice
 
 ->1¦Yes, Use this BEA home directory [C:\bea]
   2¦No, return to BEA home directory selection
 
 
Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      On the command line, type 1 or press Enter to accept your selection. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the Choose BEA Home Directory panel where you can modify your entry.

      After you have selected your BEA Home directory and confirmed your selection, the Choose Product Directory prompt is displayed.

  4. Specify the directory in which you want to install the WebLogic SIP Server software. Select the default product directory (bea_home\wlss220) or create a new product directory.

    5. If you specify a new directory, the installation program automatically creates it for you.

    The choices displayed in this section are as follows: 

    Choose Product Directory:
-------------------------
    Product Installation Directory= [C:\bea\wlss220]
  
Input new Product Installation Directory OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

    Do one of the following:

    • Press Enter or type next (or n for short) to accept the current selection.
    • Enter the full path to the directory in which you want to install the WebLogic SIP Server software and press Enter.

      • You are prompted to confirm your selection as shown in the following text: 

      Choose Product Directory:
-------------------------
   ->1| Yes, use this product directory [C:\bea\wlss220]
     2| No, select another product directory
 
Enter index number to select OR [Exit][Previous][Next]>

      Verify that your entry is correct, then type 1 or press Enter to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, type 2 to return to the Choose Product Directory panel where you can modify your entry.

      At this point, the installation program installs the files to the directory you specified.

      Note: It is normal for the installation program to pause for a fairly long time, especially toward the end. The installation program is still working when this occurs.
  5. Press Enter or type Exit to exit the installation program.

 

What's Next?

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