Installing IBM HTTP Server from an archive
You can install IBM® HTTP Server (IHS) and the WebSphere® Application Server WebServer Plug-in by using an alternative installation method. With this fix pack, you do not need the IBM Installation Manager.
Before you begin
Obtain the IBM HTTP Server archive from Fix Central. The
archive file name is specific to the operating system and architecture. File names begin with
9.0.0-WS-IHS-ARCHIVE
. See the following example:
9.0.0-WS-IHS-ARCHIVE-linux-x86_64-FP006.zip
.
For 9.0.0.7 and later, the file extension was changed from
.tar.gz
to .zip
.
