Deploying the web application

Important

• If you're deploying Web Services and Applications version 8.5.201.50 or earlier, complete the steps on Deploying the web application for 8.5.201.50 or later instead.
• If you're deploying Web Services and Applications version 8.5.201.09 or earlier, complete the steps on Deploying the web application for 8.5.201.09 or earlier instead.

Complete the following steps for each Web Services node.

Start

1. Copy the installation_CD/ gws-<version>.noarch.rpm file to a local folder.
2. Perform the installation using the RPM package manager:

   rpm -ivh [--prefix installation_location] gws-<version>.noarch.rpm

   If --prefix is not specified, the default installation location is /usr/share folder.

3. Copy the *.sample files from the /installation_path/gws/config/config-templates directory to the /installation_path/gws/config directory and remove the .sample extension.
4. Run following command to register the new service on your host: chkconfig gws on

End
