Ubuntu installing Websphere 7 (Success)

Attempting to install Websphere 7 Express on Ubuntu 9.0.4

Its hung at "importConfigArchive" stage for a long time, not looking good so far.

Time to do a bit of searching...

Update

Found this on the IBM site seems that sh is linked to dash instead of bash might be the problem. So I've linked sh to bash and going to try installing again.

Update 2

Success changing the sh to be linked to bash allowed WebSphere 7 to install. To do this you need to enter the following commands in a terminal window.

cd /bin
sudo rm sh
sudo ln -s bash sh

It might be a good idea to change it back once your install has finished.


cd /bin
sudo rm sh
sudo ln -s dash sh

I apologize for the stupid question, but I'm a total noob. How would I go about changing it back?
Thanks!
