There are three different types of installations you can perform with Enterprise Portal 6.0 – typical, custom, and search. There are slight variations in the procedures for the different types of installations.
These instructions are for performing a typical installation. See Chapter 1, “Overview,” for a description of the installation types.
If you are performing a custom installation go to “Custom installation”.
Performing a typical installation
of Enterprise Portal 6.0
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 to continue.
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,” and click Next.
In the next window, accept the default installation directory, enter the name of the root directory where you want to install Enterprise Portal, 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 next window, select Typical, and Click Next.
In the next window, the machine name and domain of the Enterprise Portal installation appear.
If the information is incorrect, 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.
The pre-installation summary window appears and shows:
Components to be installed
Size of components to be installed
The space estimate shown in the pre-installation summary
is off by 60MB because the size of the uninstaller is not yet determined
by the installer.
Installation location
Database settings:
Type – the type of database installed. For example, Adaptive Server Anywhere.
Host – the name of the machine where the database is installed.
Port – the port used to connect to the database.
Application server settings:
Type – the type of application server installed. For example, EAServer.
Host – the name of the machine where the application server is installed.
Port – the port used to connect to the application server.
Search client settings:
Host – name of the machine where Portal Search is installed.
Query port – the port number used to connect to the DRE. The default is 8500.
Index port – the port number used to connect to the indexing utility. The default is 8501.
Portal settings
Connection URL – the URL used to access Portal Interface.
Click Next.
You see a series of progress bars. The progress bars show the status of the installation. The status windows you see depend on the type of installation you are performing.
A message appears saying, “Installing Sybase Enterprise Portal. Please wait.”
The Installer Events Report window appears. In the Installer Event box, the installer events are listed. Select the event title to view an expanded description in the Event Description box.
The Log File Location box shows the location of the installation log file.
Click Next.
If the installation is successful, you see the Installation Successful window.
Click “Readme” to read the Release Bulletin for Enterprise Portal.
Click “here” to connect to Enterprise Portal. See “Verifying the installation”.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
The custom installation allows you to utilize a pre-installed ASE database, EAServer, and/or Portal Search.
If you install EAServer 4.2.2 from the Enterprise Portal
6.0 CD, when you uninstall Enterprise Portal 6.0, EAServer is also
uninstalled by the Enterprise Portal uninstaller.
If you do not want to uninstall EAServer when you uninstall Enterprise Portal, you must install EAServer from the EAServer CD before installing Enterprise Portal. Then you must perform a custom installation and select the installed EAServer.
You must have the target computer’s name and the fully qualified domain name.
When performing a custom installation that utilizes a pre-existing Adaptive Server Enterprise:
Adaptive Server Enterprise must be running before beginning the installation.
You must create four database devices before beginning the installation:
Device name |
Size |
|---|---|
portalData |
300MB |
portalLog |
100MB |
acdbData |
100MB |
acdbLog |
25MB |
For example, to create the portalData device, open a isql session and at the isql 1> prompt, enter, on one line:
disk init NAME="portalData", PHYSNAME="software/sybase/data/portalData.dat", VDEVNO=2, SIZE="300M"
where /software/sybase is the $SYBASE directory in your environment. Repeat this command for each device you create.
You must increment the VDEVNO value for each device
you create as the device number must be unique in the database system.
When performing a custom installation that utilizes a pre-existing EAServer:
You must have EAServer 4.2.2 with the proper patch level installed. If you do not have EAServer 4.2.2 installed, see “Upgrading to EAServer 4.2.2”.
Install Enterprise Portal on the same machine on which EAServer is installed.
You must install into the same $SYBASE directory as the existing EAServer for Portal Search to work.
The shared directory for EAServer must reside in the $SYBASE directory. If you are installing into an existing EAServer, and the shared directory is under $JAGUAR, the Security installation fails.
SSL is not enabled after installing into an existing
EAServer. Refer to the Enterprise Security Administration
Guide for instructions on enabling SSL.
Performing a custom installation
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:

In the next window, accept the default installation directory, enter the name of the root directory where you want to install Enterprise Portal, 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 installation type window, select Custom, and click Next.
