  • get middleware mount on the server
  • check the for open ports as some of the Linux boxes are all locked down

      sudo nmap -sT -O localhost

      The output of this command looks like the following:

    • if the ports are locked down request some "test" ports be opened for migration
  • determine the OS version
  • get the vanilla version of the apache from the middleware
    • for RHEL4 use the most recent RHEL4 release off the middleware ../apache_2.2.10_relxx_RHEL4/vanilla*.tar
    • for RHEL5 use the most recent release ../apache_2.2.10_relxx/vanilla*.tar
  • No labels
