Preparing your systems to install WebSphere Commerce
Before you start the WebSphere Commerce Installation wizard, complete the following checklist.
Procedure
- Ensure that no other installation programs are active. Ensure that the installation programs are completed or manually stop them before you install WebSphere Commerce.
- Ensure that the Windows administration user ID under which the installation is performed has the appropriate user rights. For instructions on granting user rights, see Granting user rights to a Windows user ID.
-
Ensure that the Windows administration user ID under which the installation is performed is not
the same as the host name of the machine.
For example, for a machine with a host name of
machine1
, do not install by using the administration user IDmachine1
. -
Ensure that any antivirus programs are disabled.
Antivirus programs interfere with the installation when you change DVDs in the DVD-ROM drive.
- Stop all running applications.
- Ensure that any Lotus Notes server, Web servers, Java application servers, and any nonessential Java processes are stopped before you install WebSphere Commerce.
- Stop any database servers on the system.
-
Stop the Web server if you have a Web server or any other service on your machine that is using
any of the following ports:

value.
