This article presents a brief overview of installing Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) 12cR1 (12.1.1) on Oracle Linux 5 and 6. - Assumptions - Download Software - Setup - Installation - Create Domain - Post-Installation Related articles. This article assumes you have an existing server (real or virtual) with either Oracle Linux 5.x or 6.x installed on it. For instruction on how to do this check out the following articles. - Oracle Linux 5 (OL5) Installation : I did the basic installation with no extra package groups for this installation. - Oracle Linux 6 (OL6) Installation : I picked the "Desktop" option for this installation, so I would have a graphical interface without having to select separate package groups. Everything in the installation will be 64-bit. Download the Weblogic Server 12c software from Oracle Technology Network . The following actions should be performed by the "root" user. Make sure the "/etc/hosts" file contains correct entries for both the "localhost" and real host names. Install the JDK. Create a new group and user. Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed. Append the following entries into the "/home/oracle/.bash_profile" file. As specified in MOS Note [ID 1487773.1] , amend the "/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf" file, making the following change. Run the installer as the "oracle" user. Assuming you don't want security updates, click "Yes" and "Yes" on the subsequent warning dialogs and you are presented with the "Connection Failed" screen. Check the "I wish to remain uninformed..." checkbox and click the "Continue" button. This whole process is very confusing at first. Obviously the developers responsible didn't really expect people to say no to security updates! Accept the typical setup by clicking the "Next" button. Accept the default JDK selection by clicking the "Next" button. Accept the default product installation directories by clicking the "Next" button. If you are happy with the summary information, click the "Next" button and wait for the installation to take place. On the installation complete screen, click the "Done" button to run Quickstart. If you have not chosen to start Quickstart as part of the installation, you can do it manually. On the Quickstart screen, click the "Getting Started with WebLogic Server 12.1.1" link. On the welcome screen, accept the "Create a new WebLogic domain" option by clicking the "Next" button. Select the type of domain and click the "Next" button. Enter the desired domain name and location, then click the "Next" button. Enter the administrator username and password, then click the "Next" button. Select the startup mode and JDK, then click the "Next" button. Select any required optional configuration, then click the "Next" button. If you are happy with the information on the summary screen, click the "Create" button. Once the domain is created, click the "Done" button. Close the Quickstart screen, unless you have any other operations to do. Once complete, we need to copy the following files as the "root" user. This is a requirement because we are using version 7 of the JDK. The "$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/mydomain" directory now contains a script that can be used to start the server. Remember to use the "&" if you want access to the commandline to be returned. Once the server is started you can access the administrator console using the "http://hostname:7001/console" URL. Log in using the username and password provided in the previous step. The following scripts are useful. For more information see: Hope this helps. Regards Tim...
