Oracle Weblogic Portal 10.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10, deployment into ESXi Virtual Infrastructure

This article shows you how to install Oracle Weblogic Portal into a NFS folder with Oracle DB, SOA Suite and OSB installed.

The infrastructure details can be found here.

Unlike Oracle SOA Suite 11g and Oracle Service Bus 11g which use Weblogic server 10.3.4, Weblogic Portal 10.3.2 requires Weblogic Server 10.3.2. To fulfill the version compatibility, the WLP has been installed into its own middleware home, wlpmw, sits at the same level as osbmw in the file hierarchy.

To install Weblogic Portal 10.3.2, the following installation binary is used (downloadable from Oracle website).

portal103_linux32.bin

Installation steps

1) Login as oracle user
2) execute portal103_linux32.bin

$./portal103_linux32.bin

Uncheck the 'Run Quickstart' checkbox, we will create the domain later.

Happy Portaling.

Cheers,
