DB: Oracle 11G on AIX
Installed Components: LC ES2 RM
In the spirit of helping people in dire need, as I am now....
Hi All,
Ok, so this is the 4th installation at the client - bank!
Everything installs as expected - takes a bit longer on a VM tho, but it eventually installs.
All configurations done according the adobe manuals (i have them all!) and googled beyond belief!
Problem is when starting up Websphere.... it takes for ever! (like 45 minutes - if your patience lasts that long!)
And then, the Websphere consoles eventually shows!
But the LC Adminui does not show.. the URL launches (http://localhost:<port>/adimui), but just shows a blank screen!! (using Ultra VNC Viewer)
My Experience
If trying to get to the ADMINUI in the browser, using Ultra VNC Viewer, you will notice you get displayed a blank screen.
rather go to the full URL http://localhost:9080/adminui/logic.faces!
==> I suspect this is either a bug or a setting that needs to be configured.
==> try acess from an external pc, no through Ultra VNC
My Experience - I obviously had external factors to work with - Bank IT policies!
- for the short term: Never try this at home, at the office or at the client
- Working with Ultra VNC Viewer & Websphere are not natural friends!
- ensure cmd PING command works for LC config manager
- ensure full administrator rights
- right click "run as administrator' for every exe
- open Ports
- ensure DB conifiguration is as per Adobe documentation (UTF8, character sets, and user permission... Create Table... etc)
Experience: installing & running outside a VM environment works like a charm, even with a 'non-supported' Win Svr 2008 R2
anybody with a similar environment (Websphere Oracle)... please posts your experiences, tips, "watch outs" here...
