Performing the installation
Make sure both the WebLogic server and the Oracle process are running and accessible.
Insert the CD labeled “Sybase Enterprise Portal 6.0” in the CD drive.
If the installer does not start automatically, launch the installer from the command line by entering:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
./EPSetup
If you get CD-reading errors, check your operating system kernel to make sure the ISO 9660 option is turned on.
Once the installer launches, in the first window, click “Here” to view the Enterprise Portal 6.0 Release Bulletin. Click Next.
In the End-user License Agreement window, from the drop-down menu, select the geographical location where the software is being installed.
The license agreement appears in the window.
Read the license agreement, and select “I agree to the terms of the Sybase license for the install location specified.” Click Next.
In the next window, provide the root directory name where you want to install Enterprise Portal. You may accept the default installation directory, enter the name of a different directory, or use the Browse button to select the installation location.
If you enter a directory that has not yet been created, the installer creates the directory automatically. Click Next.
In the Enterprise Portal Custom Install Overview window, read the information, and click Next.
In the next window, enter the connection information for your WebLogic Server:
Host Name or IP Address – the name of the machine where the WebLogic Server is installed.
Port Number – the port number used to connect to the WebLogic Server. By default, this is 7001.
SSL Port Number – the port number for the connection of the Secure Sockets Layer. By default, this is 7002, but the WebLogic Server administrator may have defined another port.
Login Name – the user name used to log in to WebLogic Server. By default, this is “weblogic.”
Login Password – the password for the user name used to log in to WebLogic Server. By default, this is blank, but setting a password for the WebLogic user was required during the WebLogic installation process.

WebLogic Root Directory – the path to the specific domain WebLogic Server installation directory.
WebLogic Domain Directory – the path to the specific WebLogic Server domain, which is under the domain directory, for example, $BEA/user_projects/domain/mydomain.
Click Next if all the information entered is correct.
A window displays saying, “Please wait...Connecting to WebLogic Server. Verifying the Information.”
In the next window, the machine name and domain, such as localhost, are filled in. If the information is not correct, enter the machine name and domain of the Enterprise Portal installation machine. For example, if your computer is named “mycomputer” and your domain is “sybase.com,” enter:
mycomputer.sybase.com
If your computer is on an Internet subdomain, enter that information as well. For example, if your computer is on an Internet subdomain named “legal,” enter:
mycomputer.legal.sybase.com
Click Next.
