Plan to (belatedly) update my Connections 2.5 install guide soon (before New Year). Was thinking that for single server install the 2.0 guide works pretty well for 2.5 so thinking of something different… Linux? Clustering? Different LDAPs?
If anyone has requests please comment below.
Update: I found that IBM now has a pretty good step by step guide on their wiki, so no point reinventing the wheel.

Two gotchas from me: -
a) Check that the Web Services Feature Pack for WebSphere Application Server is NOT installed, as it breaks Bookmarks. The LC25 team will (probably) release a Technote on this at some point and/or update the Sys. Req. document

a couple of things for me that i have noticed.

and there of course is the whole if you move db / file store which i blogged on the connections blog.
I have my own guide (which uses oracle / AD ) so i can give you a copy of that if it helps

Sharon, did the LC25 installer not warn you that you needed to increase the heapsize on the DM node ? I’m sure it nagged me to do this, and I didn’t need to change the addNode.sh on the WAS node, Dave

ahh yes you are right 2.5 did previous versions didn’t. I still needed to change my nodeagent.bat on windows (def when it’s a vm) or it fails also …

Thanks guys – will credit in the doc of course.
Any suggested scenarios? Clustered on Linux is my current thinking…?

Jon, yep, I’d vote for clustering on Linux, as non-clustered is sooo last version
Let me know if you need owt as I have a single node cluster running on VMware here
