WebLogic silent.xml for Centos / RHEL 5.5 Production

Oracle do provide a sample, and there are links on the Web but after much frustration, this one actually works.



Assuming the bin file has been downloaded from Oracle, then:

  • Create the Middleware directory beforehand.
  • Specify -mode=silent -silent_xml=/full/path/to/silent.xml on the command line.
  • This will install everything required,  but not the Server examples domain, which is dangerous on a production server.
