The key difference between the custom installation scenario and the typical install is seen
during the validation phase when the currently installed WebSphere Application Server
version is detected and a check is done to see if any WebSphere Application Server instance
was installed with Portal, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 61.

After the system completes validation, the installer proceeds with the WebSphere Application
Server profile creation, the WebSphere Portal Installation, and the enable security
configuration task.
For more information regarding the step by step procedure for the custom installation
scenario, refer to the WebSphere Portal Information Center topic "Installing with an existing
instance of WebSphere Application Server", found at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.wp.ent.doc/wpf/i

Co-existence installation
The co-existence installation scenario allows you to install more than one copy of WebSphere
Portal on the same machine, where each server operates independently of the others. Each
copy of WebSphere Portal is installed on a separate WebSphere Application Server profile
and since all copies share the same system resources, such as processor capacity and
memory, the multiple copies will impact performance.
When installing co-existing WebSphere Portal servers, you have the option to install each
copy of WebSphere Portal with a new copy of WebSphere Application Server, as outlined in
"Stand-alone server" on page 57, or to install each copy of WebSphere Portal on an existing
version of WebSphere Portal, as in "Custom" on page 58.
Note: In order to avoid port conflicts with this installation scenario, you need to review the
configuration methods outlined in the Information Center:
