Setting up Apache HTTP Server

Instructions to set up the Apache HTTP Server can be found here. Setup remains the same for configuring multiple exchanges under multiple host names. The Apache HTTP server will serve as a proxy to bind the different virtual hosts to individual ports on WebLogic. In the setup defined here, we will be using Apache HTTP to serve as a front facing server to host two different domains which point to the same WebLogic Server.

Installing Weblogic 12.2

Download weblogic binary (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/wls-main-097127.html). In this case, we choose a generic type which includes oracle weblogic server an oracle coherence.

• Unzip the binary under <weblogic-jar-director>
• $ java -jar fmw_12.2.1.2.0_wls.jar
• Install a new domain and select Administration Server  & Node Manager in Advanced Configuration. 
• Set Listen Port to Default 7001 and SSL Listen Port to 7002. 

• Assign username and password for Node Manager: admin/adminadmin1, then click create.

• Edit /nhin/server/wls1221c/user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/setDomainEnv.sh and add: 

#note:This is for wherever CONNECT properties has been installed.
EXT_POST_CLASSPATH="/nhin/server/connectProperties"
export EXT_POST_CLASSPATH

CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH};${EXT_POST_CLASSPATH};"
export CLASSPATH

NHIN_PRO="-Xmx8000m -Dnhinc.properties.dir=${EXT_POST_CLASSPATH} -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=changeit -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=${EXT_POST_CLASSPATH}/gateway.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=JKS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=${EXT_POST_CLASSPATH}/cacerts.jks -DCLIENT_KEY_ALIAS=gateway -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -DUseSunHttpHandler=true -Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.HttpAdapter.dump=true -Dcom.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpTransportPipe.dump=true -Djavax.enterprise.resource.xml.webservices.security.level=FINE -Djavax.enterprise.resource.webservices.jaxws=FINE"
export NHIN_PRO

Note# repeat this process for ServerCQ and ServerEhex

• Restart the server and verify you can still login successful.

Configure NodeManager

Under Environment > Machines > "Machine1" > Node Manager

Make sure that Plain is selected for type

• Type: Plain
• Copy /user_projects/domains/base_domain/bin/startNodeManager.sh to /user_projects/domains/base_domain/nodemanager/startNodeManager.sh 

Edit /user_projects/domains/base_domain/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties. Make sure 

ListenAddress=localhost
ListenPort=5556
SecureListener=false

Set the Environment Variables: CLASSPATH and PATH

• Run /wlserver/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh

WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell: wls:/offline>

• Run /oracle_common/common/bin/wlst.sh
