This document does not describe the installation process itself. Refer to the<br />

product documentation for details about installing <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

<strong>V7.0</strong>. The installation documentation for <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> can be<br />

found in the Information Center at the following Web page:<br />

6.1 What is new in <strong>V7.0</strong><br />

The following installation-related items are new or changed significantly for the<br />

<strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>V7.0</strong> editions for distributed systems:<br />

► Non-root installation<br />

– When installing as a non-root user, the installers for the <strong>IBM</strong> HTTP <strong>Server</strong><br />

and the Web server plug-in installers will now install a private copy of the<br />

<strong>IBM</strong> Global Security Kit (GSKit). The private copy of the GSKit utility is<br />

installed to sub-directory gsk7 of the products root directory for the product<br />

which installs GSKit. So this is either /gsk7 or<br />

/gsk7. This allows for root and non-root installations to use<br />

secure socket layer (SSL) support.<br />

– Verification of file systems permission before install<br />

Before installing the product, users can verify that the adequate file<br />

permissions exist. This verification can be invoked either during a check<br />

box on the installation summary panel or the -OPT<br />

checkFilePermissions="true" option in the response file when installing<br />

silently. File system verification takes place before the install begins so as<br />

to avoid an undefined product state due to insufficient file permissions.<br />

– Changing ownership to another user after installation<br />

After the installation of <strong>WebSphere</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong>, the<br />

/instutils/chutils command can be used to change<br />

the file ownership to another user or group for future operations.<br />

Note: There are still some limitations when installing <strong>WebSphere</strong><br />

<strong>Application</strong> <strong>Server</strong> as non-root user. Check the <strong>WebSphere</strong> Information<br />

Center for details:<br />
