3.2.5 General installation notes

  • On Windows, improve the speed of installation by disabling any on-access virus scanning software during installation.

  • If you are installing on UNIX-based systems and are not installing directly from a release DVD, set executable permissions on the installation file.

  • To avoid permission issues during deployment, ensure that you run the AEM forms on JEE installer and Configuration Manager as the same user who will run the application server.

  • If you are installing on UNIX-based computers, the installation directory you specify should not contain any spaces.

  • Ensure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to [appserver root] /java/.

  • When configuring WebSphere on Windows, make sure that Configuration Manager is running using the appropriate JDK. WebSphere installations typically use the IBM JDK. If WebSphere is not using the IBM JDK, re-launch Configuration Manager using the [aem-forms root] /configurationManager/bin/ConfigurationManager.bat script.

    Note: If you are using a non-IBM JDK, do not use [aem-forms root] /configurationManager/bin/ConfigurationManager.exe.
  • If errors occur during installation, the installation program creates the install.log file, which contains the error messages. This log file is created in the [aem-forms root] /log directory.
