Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit)Posted on May 20, 2010 by Mark Nelson
Update: This post describes a method for installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 which involves first installing 10.3.2 and then patching
up to 10.3.3. It also now possible to just install 10.3.3 directly. If you are an Oracle customer, you can download the 10.3.3 installer
from eDelivery.
Another update: You can now download a 10.3.3 installer from Oracle Technology Network, and also a “zip” distribution which you
don’t need to “install” – just unzip -very handy for developers or for scripting test environments.
Yet another update: If you are reading this post because you are interested in installing SOA Suite, BPM Suite or WebCenter on a 64-
bit Linux system, you may find more of what you are looking for in this post. You may also want to install an Oracle database on
Ubuntu? If so, please take a look at this post.
Today, I was asked how to install the 64-bit (generic) version of WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on 64-bit Ubuntu. For this post, I am using
64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx, running in Oracle VirtualBox 3.20.
First we need to install the Sun JDK, which is a supported JDK for WebLogic Server. As root, install the Sun JDK:
# cd /usr/lib/jvm
# sh <PATH>/jdk-6u20-linux-x64.bin
Next, we install WebLogic Server 10.3.2. You can download this from Oracle Technology Network. You want the Generic version
of the Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.2) – Package Installer. Note: 10.3.2, not 10.3.3.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
To install this, we run the following command, as a normal user:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_20/bin/java -jar wls1032_generic.jar
After a few moments, the installer will appear. Click on the Next button to start.
On the next screen we can set the location for our “Middleware Home.” This is the directory where WebLogic Server will be
installed. I just accepted the default.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
On the next screen you can provide your Oracle Support credentials (if you wish to) so that you can be notified of any important
updates. I just unchecked the box and clicked on Next to continue. You will have to confirm in the popup box as shown.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
Next we select the JDK we wish to use. This should already be showing the one we just installed and used to start the installation
program, so you can go ahead and click on Next.

installation program.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
We now have WebLogic Server 10.3.2 installed. Next we need to download the 10.3.3 Upgrade Installer from Oracle Support. If you
have not used Oracle Support (formerly known as Metalink) for a while, you may notice it looks a little different now!

This will give you a README file and the Upgrade Installer, called wls1033_upgrade_generic.jar.
To run the upgrade installer, we issue the following command:
$ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_20/bin/java -jar wls1033_upgrade_generic.jar
After a few moments, the Upgrade Installer will start. Warning: You may experience a little Déjà vu at this point! Click on the
Next button to start.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
First, we need to select the Middleware Home to use. Pick the same one we used earlier to install WebLogic Server 10.3.2. This
should be automatically selected for you. Click on Next.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
If you accept the defaults and leave that option selected, like I did, you will get a screen confirming where you want to install it. Just
accept the defaults again and click on Next to continue.

Now that the installation is finished, we want to create a domain. This is done using the “config” script.
$ cd /home/mark/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin
$ ./config.sh
After a few moments, the Configuration Wizard will start. Select Create a new WebLogic Domain and click on Next to get
started.

Now you can select whether you want the server to run in Development or Production Mode, and which JDK to use. Again, just
accept the defaults and click on Next.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
Here you get the option to change many other settings, and next time you create a domain, you might like to experiment with some
of those, instead of just taking the defaults all the time! But for now, let’s just click on Next again.
http://redstack.wordpress.com/2010/05/20/installing-weblogic-server-10-3-3-on-ubuntu-64-bit/ (27 of 40)06/03/2012 02:27:00 PM

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
Now we are ready to start up our server using the following commands:
$ cd /home/mark/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain
$ ./startWebLogic.sh
As the server starts up, if you look carefully at the output messages you may notice that it tells us it is running in 64-bit mode.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
Once you get the message telling you the server is RUNNING, you can open up a browser and go to the WebLogic Server console.
This will be at http://yourserver:7001/console, and you can log on with the user weblogic and the password you created a moment
ago.

Installing WebLogic Server 10.3.3 on Ubuntu (64-bit) | RedStack
So, there we have it, a 64-bit WebLogic Server running on 64-bit Ubuntu. The procedure for other Linux variants, Solaris, etc. is
pretty similar and even installing on 64-bit Windows is not too different! Good luck.
P.S.: If there are any Ubuntu developers reading this post, I have not used Ubuntu for years and I must say that it looks fantastic
and was very easy to install and use. Congratulations on the great work!

You might also want to consider using the Smart Updater to perform the upgrade from 10.3.2 to 10.3.3. This *might* involve a
smaller download size than the upgrade-installer. See http://soa-street.blogspot.com/2010/12/upgrade-weblogic-server-10320-to.
html for details.

Thanks John, you’re right, that may be a good way for some people to do the upgrade. It is also possible to just download WebLogic

10.3.3 installers directly from OTN now, so the upgrade is not really needed for a new install any more.
