for those who are getting stuck on ImportConfigArchive … the solution is to change the shell .. ubuntu by default has dash shell (subset of bash) change the shell from dash to bash ie : /etc/bash

PS: when u run the ps or any other command it will say bash but it's not complete bash.

I'm currently trying to install WebSphere 6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10. I'm executing the launchpad.sh from the console. The installation screen (firefox browser) is displayed. But when I click the installation link it just didn't do anything. Did anyone having the same problem? and how you solve it?

I faced the same problem:

ImportConfigArchive, taking almost 25 minutes to do… nothing !

I tried to install via ./launchpad.sh on Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit (jaunty), that was installed in a vmware box.

thank you all for any hints

I tried to install WAS 7 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bits too, but it doesn't work even if I followed recommandations and tips listed above…

The problem seems to be located during the ImportConfigArchive, taking almost 25 minutes to do… nothing !

Here is the log content :
(30 juin 2009 16:38:26), Process, com.ibm.ws.install.ni.ismp.installtoolkitbridge.ISMPInstallToolkitBridgeForNIFramework, wrn, Config action failed: 97SInstallInvokeWSProfile – /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/nif/config/install/97SInstallInvokeWSProfile.ijc

I've read that it can be a problem while "port validation" but I tried to deactivate it unsuccessfully (by commenting the appropriate line in file responsefile.express.txt).

Does anyone has an idea ?

Thanks all.

Thanks for this discovery. I also install WAS 7 on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit and it works smooth as what I expect. I also have an installed DB2 Express and SVN server on my OS with 2GB of memory. It rocks. The catch is, I use Virtual Box. The purpose I used this approach because if in case will happen, I don't need to worry about fixing the problem. All I need is restore from the last install point. But fortunately, I did not find any error while doing my installation.

I test this on WAS 7 on Ubuntu 8.10 and works, additionally run:

sudo aptitude install bc xauth alien

One doubt here ::

From various sites i understand that minimum recomended Sys req for WAS ND 6.1 is AIX 5L 5.2 with Recommended Maintenance package 5200-07 (64-bit kernel support)OR AIX 5L 5.3 with Service Pack 5300-04-01 (64-bit kernel support).

Now, is it ok to run WAS ND 6.1 on AIX 5L 5.3 5600 which is a higher version than recommended one..pls revert
