Abstract
When installing a 6.0.2 IBM® HTTP Server Fix Pack the updateinstaller does not use the proper values to verify if IBM HTTP Server is at the proper level before allowing the install. This was corrected in 6.0.2.23.
 
Content
If installing a 6.0.2 Fix Pack the updateinstaller should use the values defined in the .pak file's maintenance.xml file to verify that the IHS_HOME/properties/version/IHS.product file is at least at 6.0.2 or higher. The values currently used in the maintenance.xml are greater than or equal to 6.0.0.1 and less than or equal to the Fix Pack being installed.

Here is an example of the stanza being used by the updateinstaller for a Fix Pack 6.0.2.19 install, which is found in the .pak file's maintenance.xml file, 6.0.2-WS-WASIHS-WinX32-FP00000019.pak :

- <prereq id="ihspluginprereq" impl="com.ibm.ws.install.ni.updi.product.was.WASProductPrereqPlugin" cache="true">
  <param name="offering" value="IHS" />
  <param name="version" value=">=6.0.0.1;<=6.0.2.19" />(Should be >=6.0.2;<6.0.2.19)
  <param name="installroot" value="$ITB:P{updiProductBean.installLocation}" />
  </prereq>

If you have upgraded your IBM HTTP Server and you need to verify if you have installed Refresh Pack 2 you can review the following 4 items listed below. If all 4 are found and are correct then you have installed Refresh Pack 2.

1) Review the IHS_HOME/properties/version/IHS.product. Verify the version stated in this file. Should be 6.0.2 or 6.0.2.x.

2) Review the IHS_HOME/logs/update directory for the directory 6.0-WS-WASIHS-WinX32-RP0000002.install

3) Review the IHS_HOME/properties/version/update/backup directory. You should see a 6.0-WS-WASIHS-WinX32-RP0000002.pak. This is a backup of your IBM HTTP Server install before you applied Refresh Pack 2.

4) Review the IHS_HOME/properties/version/update/backup/maintenanceStack.xml. WARNING : Do not make any changes to this file. You should find an entry similar to

- <maintenance name="6.0-WS-WASIHS-WinX32-RP0000002" order="0">

If you have accidentally installed an IBM HTTP Server Fix Pack and have not previously installed Refresh Pack 2 then do the following :

1) Uninstall all previous Fix Packs so that you are back to 6.0.0.1 IBM HTTP Server. After the uninstalls your IHS_HOME/properties/version/IHS.product should show the version as 6.0.0.1 and your IHS_HOME/version.signature should show 6.0.0.1.

2) After successfully uninstalling all previous Fix Packs, install Refresh Pack 6.0.2 using the latest V6.0 UpdateInstaller.

3) After successfully installing Refresh Pack 2, install the Fix Pack you wish to upgrade to or the Fix Pack level you were previously running.

If you have any problems with the uninstalls or installs, please contact IBM support and send in the information found in the MustGather for maintenance problems on 6.0.
