Webcenter sites installation on red hat linux (fedora os) |
This blog would help one to setup Webcenter Sites (formerly a Fatwire Product) on Linux Operating system such as Fedora 17 (Red Hat Linux), running Oracle 11g Database and Tomcat as its App server.
Softwares required
|
The following Softwares are to be downloaded
apache-tomcat-6.0.35.zip (from http://projects.apache.org/projects/tomcat.html)
and
ofm_sites_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip (from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/sites/downloads/index.html)
SQL Developer (Optional from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html)
Assumption : Fedora 17 (http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora) is already installed and Oracle 11g Database (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html) is running with orcl service under port 1521 (Installation of database itself is out of scope in the current blog)
Note : the paths are relative to my system and my installation it might slightly differ on different systems , those marked in bold fonts are important commands to be run under linux for various operations such as startup or configurations,
setting up database

1. Start Database
[[email protected] ~]$ cd /home/james/app/james/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin [[email protected] bin]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/home/james/app/james/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 [[email protected] bin]$ export ORACLE_SID=orcl [[email protected] bin]$ ./sqlplus /nolog SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Wed Aug 1 18:49:32 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle.

login to database as sys create user csuser CREATE USER csuser IDENTIFIED BY welcome1 ; GRANT CREATE session, CREATE table, CREATE view, CREATE synonym, CREATE Trigger, Create Sequence TO csuser ; GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO csuser ; commit;
Setting up tomcat
|
1. Unzip Tomcat. eg /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/
2. Edit /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/conf/server.xml file
3. Add the following lines above end of host tag </Host>
<Context path="/cs" docBase="cs" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Resource name="csDataSource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" username="csuser" password="welcome1" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl"/>
4. Copy paste ojdbc6.jar under lib folder of Tomcat that is.
/home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/lib
5. Edit catalina.sh file under bin of tomcat directory
/home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/bin
add the following lines above resolve links block. (you can find these in the Catalina.sh file)
# lines taken from Holy Book by James Smith :-) export JUMPHOME="/home/james/Oracle/webcenter/sites/wem" export CATALINA_HOME="/home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35" export JAVA_HOME="/home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30" export CLASSPATH="/home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30/lib/tools.jar: /home/james/Oracle/webcenter/sites/bin":$CLASSPATH export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -XX:PermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dcs.useMilliseconds=true -Dcs.useEhcache=true -Dnet.sf.ehcache.enableShutdownHook=true" export PATH="/home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30/lib/tools.jar: /home/james/Oracle/webcenter/sites/bin":$PATH export CATALINA_PID="$CATALINA_HOME"/tomcat.pid # lines taken from Holy Book by James Smith
Important comment this below line in the catalina.sh file using # before classpath
# CLASSPATH= must be commented
start and stop tomcat – test configurations
|
tomcat can be started and stopped with following commands
[[email protected] bin]$ ./shutdown.sh -force Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35 Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/temp Using JRE_HOME: /home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30 Using CLASSPATH: /home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30/lib/tools.jar: /home/james/Oracle/webcenter/sites/bin::/home/james/Oracle /apache-tomcat-6.0.35/bin/bootstrap.jar Using CATALINA_PID: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/tomcat.pid Killing Tomcat with the PID: 1913 [[email protected] bin]$ ./startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35 Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/temp Using JRE_HOME: /home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30 Using CLASSPATH: /home/james/Oracle/jdk1.6.0_30/lib/tools.jar: /home/james/Oracle/webcenter/sites/bin::/home/james/Oracle/ apache-tomcat-6.0.35/bin/bootstrap.jar Using CATALINA_PID: /home/james/Oracle/apache-tomcat-6.0.35/tomcat.pid
Open the Browser and try http://localhost:8080/ you should be able to see the homepage
Installation of Webcenter Sites |
Unzip ofm_sites_generic_11.1.1.6.0_disk1_1of1.zip , it creates Webcenter sites directory, go to
./WebCenterSites/WCS_Sites_11.1.1.6.0/WCS_Sites_11.1.1.6.0/ContentServer

Launch the installer |
ensure that tomcat directory has read/write permissions
chmod 777 *
Next change to installation directory
and launch csInstall.sh and follow these screens
In our case we have configured for Oracle Database 11gR1
Click on Installation Button , Test Button if needed.
Post Installation Check |
Use SQL Developer login with username as csuser/welcome1 , service name as orcl and port as 1521 (this might change in your installation)
check if new tables have been created.
Start Tomcat and Acccess the following URL http://localhost:8080/cas/login
login as admin / welcome1
http://localhost:8080/cs/wem/fatwire/wem/Welcome
Select AdminSite
