  • Oracle 8i Personal Install corrupts Sun Java 2 development environment

    I encountered no errors during installation of Oracle 8i Personal for Windows/NT; and the sample database appears fully functional.
    However, the Sun Java 2 development kit (JDK 1.2) that I use for other projects is no longer functional. The registry appears to have been corrupted by the Oracle 8i installation. Now, whenever I attempt to run a Java 2 program I encounter the error:
    "Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
    has value '1.1', but '1.2' is required."
    Does anyone have suggestions on how to cure this problem?
    null

    Although I installed 8i Lite rather than personal Oracle 8, my experience was unlike yours. My jdk2 never stopped working - although, when I think about it, I did have to immediately fix a bunch of problems I visually detected after the install.
    After the installation, my Registry (on Win95) remained set correctly to version 1.2 of the javasoft runtime environment.
    My autoexec.bat file however was badly trashed by the installer - my multiple classpath statements were all combined into one monolith at the end.
    I hate products that silently overwrite carefully crafted key system files with no prior warning and no automatic backup process.
    After an hour or two recovering the autoexec and setting environment variables for jdk 1.2, everything is fine with my jdk setup.
    In the NT world, I can't help you with recovering your jdk2 environment. However, I'd check your environment settings on NT very carefully to ensure the installer hasn't wreaked havoc with them.
    You can also try re-installing the jdk2 run time environment from sun's web site.
    Good luck.

  • Oracle 9i Personal Edition Lean Install

    I want to install Oracle 9i Personal Edition on a Windows Box(NT/2000/XP). I would like to make it as lean as possible (ie. minimal disk space, minimal services, etc). The databases deployed on this would have tables, procs, functions, views, packages, sequences, users & roles. Any tips on how to minimize what is installed? tia.

    I downloaded Oracle 9i Personal edition from Oracle.com.
    Installed the same on Win Me with a starter database.
    I am not able to open the database since it asks me to enter a password which i've never entered.
    I am not able to create a session. The moment I try to create a session on SQL, the database starts opening but i cannot get further since it asks for the password.
    Please Help. Try using the generic username of scott & the generic pw of tiger. Hope this helps Hi,
    Try this from dos prompt
    c:\> set oracle_sid=<sid_value>
    c:\> sqlplus system/manager
    Can you elaborate what you meant when you say "the database starts opening" ? What is the error number and error message you are getting?

  • Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

    Hello,
    I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
    java.lang.NullpointerException
    at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
    at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
    at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
    The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
    The previous step -
    The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
    (return code 0).
    If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
    Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
    I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
    Many thanks in advance.

    What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
    Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
    Hope it works.

  • Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
    Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
    How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
    Thanks,
    tulip

  • Installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition on XP

    Hi, I am trying to install 9i Personal Edition on my Dell PC running XP. It gets 2% complete and gives me an error "Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT for installion in this staging area." Another problem is that I am accessing our other oracle databases from this desktop and after this install fails it screws up my registry entries so bad that none of my montoring tools work and I have to manually fix it. Any suggestions?

    Do you have any oracle products currently installed?

  • Forms 6.0/Oracle 8i Personal

    I have Forms 6.0 installed from Developer 6.0 CD on a Windows 98 desktop. I recently installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition. I had to install 8i in a new Oracle Home because the UOI is not compatible with the installer used for Developer 6.0. I am now trying to connect to the Personal Oracle 8i database from the Forms Builder 6.0 . Is this possible? I have tried editing the tnsnames.ora file in the oracle home where the Forms 6.0 lives, but haven't had any luck.

    It is easier to use developer 6i. 8i and 6i can find each other without having to change anything in the listeners or tns.names.

  • Oracle 8 personal edition - Installation problem

    Dear Sirs,
    I want install on windows xp the database Oracle 8 Personal Edition.
    I select to install only the database standard without the reply.
    Start the installatin and when dependency analysis oracle give the error:
    stopsrvc.vrf{78}: Type mismatch in argument '0' when calling 'contains'
    stopsrvc.vrf{78}: 'STRING' expected when 'LIST' found.
    Can you help me?
    I know that this version of DB is not supported. But I must a test.

    This combination, to my knowledge, was never certified. If I am not wrong, you need to find a Windows 98 SE/2000 setup for running this personal edition successfully.

  • PL/SQL does not work in Oracle 8i Personal Edition

    I just installed Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Win 98. Everything works perfectly, except the PL/SQL.
    Then I tried to install Oracle 8i EM, but I always get the listener or adapter error. Even when I tried to start the listener from lsnrctl prompt, it gives me those errors. Anyone can help?

    You need use correct type when you create object.
    Don't forget object in reality is a memory pointer,
    so what if you don't allocate correct memory in creation,
    you can't treat object as subtype.
    And meanwhile, it doesn't depend on Oracle version -
    your example doesn't work in 9.2.0.1 for example.
