  • 1.  Installation of iFix IFPH44829 not possible on 8.5.5.21

    Posted Tue May 17, 2022 07:47 AM

    Hi,

    I have downloaded iFix IFPH44829 for IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5.21 (IBM Installation Manager package) at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6564709

    When trying to install the iFix using imcl, it fails due to version check.

    $ unzip 8.5.5.21-ws-wasihs-ifph44829.zip -d IFPH44829 $ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages com.ibm.cic.agent_1.9.2000.20211110_1250 com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 com.ibm.websphere.PLG.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 $ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listAvailableFixes \ com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 \ -repositories /mnt/connect_admin/software/WebSphere/iFixes/IFPH44829 8.5.5.21-WS-WASIHS-MultiOS-IFPH44829_8.5.5021.20220315_0900 $ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl install \ 8.5.5.21-WS-WASIHS-MultiOS-IFPH44829_8.5.5021.20220315_0900 \ -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer \ -repositories /mnt/connect_admin/software/WebSphere/iFixes/IFPH44829 \ -acceptLicense ERROR: The following errors were generated while installing. CRIMA1086E ERROR: Fix 8.5.5.21-WS-WASIHS-MultiOS-IFPH44829 is not applicable: at least one of the following applicable packages must be installed. ERROR: Offering id com.ibm.websphere.IHS.v85 with internal version range [8.5.5021,8.5.5022) ERROR: Offering id com.ibm.websphere.IHSILAN.v85 with internal version range [8.5.5021,8.5.5022) ERROR: Offering id com.ibm.websphere.IHS.le.v85 with internal version range [8.5.5021,8.5.5022) ERROR: Offering id com.ibm.websphere.IHSILAN.le.v85 with internal version range [8.5.5021,8.5.5022)

    This is strange, as I have installed the correct version of IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5.21:

    Hi,

    This command pointed to the WAS installation directory instead of IHS:

    -----

    $ /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl install \

    8.5.5.21-WS-WASIHS-MultiOS-IFPH44829_8.5.5021.20220315_0900 \

    -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer \

    -repositories /mnt/connect_admin/software/WebSphere/iFixes/IFPH44829 \

    -acceptLicense

    -----

    Change the -installationDirectory to point to the IHS installation directory (/opt/IBM/HTTPServer), then try the imcl install command again.

    Thanks.

    Oh yes ... copy&paste ... changed parameter "installationDirectory" and everything is working smoothly! Many thanks for this pointer
