Error description
The following section of the InfoSphere Information Server 8.5 installation instructions: Implementing a WebSphere Application Server cluster for InfoSphere Information Server which can be viewed online at URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iisinfsv/v8r5/index.j sp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.productization.iisinfsv.ha.instal l.doc/topics/wsisinst_ha_wasimplement.html . states the following in step 5: Installing a front-end Web server You might want to install and configure a front-end Web server before you run the IBM InfoSphere Information Server installation program so that the various InfoSphere Information Server applications can be mapped to the front-end Web server automatically. The alternative to installing a front-end Web server is to install a front-end load balancer. . The above statement that the front-end Web Server (HTTP server) is optional is incorrect. The IIS 8.5 GA release installer will look for the front end web server during the installation. If one has not been setup, then the install will halt with the following error: SEVERE: com.ibm.is.install.atlasinstaller.ui.control. WebSphereClusterHttpServerControl java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://targethost.com:9080
Local fix

According to this APAR, the 8.5 InfoCentral documentation for installing against WAS clusters incorrectly says that a front-end HTTP server is optional. In reality, it is required.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
