Overview

This section will help with a manual setup of Websphere 7 on a Centos installation image for development systems. This should be useful for all projects that package the different pieces of Websphere and scripts that automate the configuration of Websphere.

Requirements

This section should contain a list of all procedures and software that are required before the Websphere installation.

Install Dependencies

Install Software packages that may be required to run websphere. 

yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk glibc*i686*

Create Websphere User

Websphere should be run by a single non-root user. All Websphere files should be owned by this user. 

username: wasadmin

Websphere Directory Structure

All Websphere files should be kept within the directory "/opt/IBM/Websphere/". All files under "/opt/IBM/" should be owned by user wasadmin.
