Prepare the WebSphere Application Server environment for web servers

Before you install or upgrade web features, install or upgrade to a supported version of IBM® WebSphere Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, and Web Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere.

web features are deployed on the IBM WebSphere Application Server and use IBM HTTP Server for the client to server communication. This architecture requires that you have a supported version of WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server installed before you can install or upgrade web server components.

More information about installing and configuring IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server are available from these resources:
