Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
Simon

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

  • Install Oracle 10g in Sun Solaris 10 x86_x64

    Hi,
    We installed Sun Solaris 10 x86_x64 and are trying to install Oracle 10g in that.

    How can we install the package and what is the role of the packge.
    Thansk,
    Selva

    The SUNWfoo and SUNWfoox packages were generally merged for Solaris 10 SPARC packages. The foox would represent 64-bit binaries/libraries and may be left out of a 32-bit system install.
    Since Solaris 10 only runs a 64-bit kernel on SPARC, there's no reason to supply both packages and they were merged.
    For x86, 32-bit kernel mode is still supported, and the package separation exists.

  • Help needed in connecting to oracle database in unity

    Hi,
    I have been trying to connect to Oracle database in my codes. I have tried using OdbcConnection and OleDbconnection. But both did not allowed me to connect to the database. The database, testDb, can be accessed using SQL plus as well as the SQL developer. I even tested the connection successful using ODBC data source administrator.
    the following is my code for the connection string:
    OdbcConnection connectionString = "Driver={Oracle ODBC Driver};Server=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP )(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=Te stDb)));Uid=scott;Pwd=password;";
    the error i got is [ODBC Driver Manager] Data Source name not found and no default driver specified.
    for the driver parameter, i have tried using "Microsoft ODBC for Oracle". It gives me another error stating that the oracle and network components are not installed.
    I even tried "Oracle in OraDb11g_home1" which was specified in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. The same error came out.
    Below are some of my specifications:
    Platform: Windows 7 64bit
    Oracle: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (64bit)
    Unity: 4.1.2
    Can someone please help me with this? What is it that i have done wrong?
    Thanks.

    whenever localhost (127.0.0.1) is used, this means that no remote client can ever connect to this system
    The problem involves ODBC configuration & has nothing to do with Oracle.

  • Help needed - software installation on Nokia N8

    I've got a Nokia N8 and wanted to get "weather maps".  I already have the Nokia weather application, and the SPB Weather application as well.  After looking around on the internet, I found some good information recommending "Weatherbug" for the N8.  Info can be found here:
    http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/12787_​WeatherBug.php
    http://store.ovi.com/content/81290
    I tried to downloadn and install the program.  I got a message that doing so might also require downloading other software that might be up to 12 megs or so.  (I guessed this was QT, which I already have from my installation of Nokia Bubbles.)
    I downloade the sofware, and got a message that I then had to get the first of two downloads.  After the download, the  installation failed, and I got a message that I should click on an icon for something like "smart install" to continue.
    Clicking on "Smart Installer ADM" gets me to "Continuing Installation Weather Bug".
    I need to connect to the internetI so I click on "connect this time".
    Eventually my phone downloads the first of two software downloads, and then the installation fails.
    Any advice on a better way to install this program? 
    Do I have to first update "QT" or something? 
    Is there any way to get more useful error messages, so I have some idea of what is going on?
    Is there a better place to download Weathrbug from ratherr than the OVI store?
    Anybody have any idea why there are three things to download to get this one program?

    Hei!
    I had big problems installing the new "WRC-live" app from Ovi Store
    and also tought it has something to do with the "Qt"-issue. I am not
    any kind of tech person, I don't know how the "Qt" works, but I remember
    I tried to download the new CNN-app from Nokia Beta Labs few weeks
    ago (with no success). Was it the reason to my problems, I don't know for sure.
    Using the NSD's search option I found @aspergerguy's excellent post and link
    to this post of @carman58.
    I downloaded the qt 4.7.3 from the link above using my N8's own browser via 3.5g
    connection (it took some time), installed all the three apps and Vòila! 
    Now downloading "wrc-live" went well and app is runnig smoothly!
    Kudos for @aspergerguy and @carman58! Thank You!

    Hi B!!
    Sorry for the delay in coming back to you, been really busy. Okay, I followed your instructions, and managed to solve that problem. I then encountered various other problems, which I wont go into for the sake of my sanity lol, but instead of coming back and questioning you I searched the forus and found all the answers I needed. Most of them from you again funnily enough!!
    In all it took the best part of 3 days to get in sorted and downloading fine. My computer knowedge is probably slightly above average, but some of the things I had to do to get there in the end was way over my head, but thanks to your great guidance notes I managed to get there, and must say Im thrilled with the end results. Am now in the process of downloading al my albums to the Ipod which is my new favourite most treasured possession
    Anyway, thanks ever so much for the assistance again, if I encounter any more problems I know who to call!! Your a star, cheers.
