Installing the IBM HTTP Server
To install the IBM HTTP Server:
1. Ensure you have the IBM Developer Kit, Java Technology Edition Version 1.4,
installed on your machine.
This Developer Kit ships with the WebSphere Application Server on the CD
and is available from the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/java/jdk.
2. For AIX, ensure that you have the xlC.rte 6.0 runtime. This is a prerequisite of
GSKit7. You can download this runtime from
https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.fdc.
3. Create a new directory to uncompress the IBM HTTP Server install image.
4. Download the IBM HTTP Server install image.
5. Uncompress the install image in this new directory. For example, if the
compressed file name is IHS.tar or IHS.zip, type tar -xf IHS.tar or use a zip
utility.
A listing of the following files appears, based on your operating system:
gskit.sh
setup.jar

A GSKit run-time executable:

AIX: gskta.rte
HP-UX: gsk7bas directory
Linux for Intel: gsk7bas_295-7.0-1.10.i386.rpm
Linux for S/390: gsk7bas-7.0-1.10.s390.rpm
Linux for PowerPC: gsk7bas-7.0.-1.10.ppc32.rpm
Solaris: gsk7bas directory
Windows: skit directory
6. Go to the directory where you uncompressed the install image and type java
-jar setup.jar.
If the system cannot find the java.exe file, set your path to point to the Java
product installed on your machine. For example: Set your path to: export
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java14/java/bin before running: java -jar setup.jar.
You can also choose to do a silent installation. To do a silent installation, type:
java -jar setup.jar -silent -options silent.res. To customize the install
options, edit the silent.res text file. All options are set to true by default. To
disable an option, set its value to false.
7. Choose the language in which to run the installation.

Uninstalling the IBM HTTP Server
To uninstall the IBM HTTP Server:
1. Go to the directory where you installed the IBM HTTP Server. Change to the
_uninst directory, located in the root directory.
2. Type java -jar uninstall.jar on all platforms.
You can also choose to do a silent uninstall. To do a silent uninstall, type java

The uninstall process on UNIX systems does not automatically uninstall the
GSKit. You have to uninstall the GSKit manually by using the native uninstall
method.
