Downloads
– ORACLE WebLogic Server 12.1.3.0.0 (link: http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/middleware/12c/wls/1213/fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar)
– JAVA SE – JDK 7 (Available on My Oracle Support)
Setting
The following actions must be performed with the “root” user.
Check the “/etc/hosts” file contains entries for “localhost” and “hostname”:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 192.168.56.103 ol6.localdomain ol6
Create the group “oinstall” and the user “oracle”:
$ groupadd -g 1000 oinstall $ useradd -u 1100 -g oinstall oracle $ passwd oracle
Create the directories where WebLogic will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/jdk/ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/middleware mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/domains mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/config/applications chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 chmod -R 775 /u01/
Run the following commands to set up the environment and change the “/home/oracle/.bash_profile” file:
export ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/middleware"
export BASE_DOMAIN="/u01/app/oracle/domains"
source /u01/app/oracle/middleware/wlserver/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh
export MW_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/middleware export WLS_HOME=$MW_HOME/wlserver
export WL_HOME=$WLS_HOME
# Configure JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/jdk/jdk-current"
export PATH="${ORACLE_HOME}/OPatch:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:/sbin:${PATH}"
Installation
Extract the installer files “jdk-7u91-linux-x64.tar.gz” in “/u01/app/oracle/jdk/” directory. A “jdk1.7.0_91” directory will be created. Move that directory to “jdk_current”.
Go to the directory where the WebLogic installer “fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar” is located and run the command below to start the installation:
$ java -jar fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar
Note: After typing the command above, a test will be performed to verify the minimum requirements of the server where the installation will be performed.
1. Set the Oracle Inventory directory (oraInventory) and click “Ok”:
2. The installer welcome screen will appear. Click on “Next”:
3. Define the installation directory:
4. Define the installation “WebLogic Server” and click “Next”:
5. Screen for checking prerequisites:
6. Email and “Security Updates” setup:
7. Warning screen will be displayed. Click “Yes”:
8. The Installation Summary screen will appear. Click “Install”:
9. Wait for the installation to complete and click “Next”:
