Rename the Portal Installation files so that Portal
Installation does not prompt you to provide the directory names during the installation
process.

Now note that since we are using WebSphere Application
Server 7.0 with WebSphere Portal 6.1.5 for this setup. WebSphere Portal 6.1.5
can only be installed on WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.5, so we need to
upgrade the WAS7.0 to WAS7.0.0.5.
We need to use IBM Update
Installer V7.0.0.7 for WebSphere Software to install maintenance and updates
for IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
Download the IBM Update Installer V7.0.0.7
for WebSphere Software for Linux from the following link
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24020446
Then download the Fix pack 5 for WebSphere Application
Server 7.0 from the following link
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg24023705
Following is the list of files that we need to obtain to apply
Fix packs 5 for WebSphere Application Server 7.0 using the IBM
Update Installer.
