Please anyone suggest on this!!!!

For security reasons some admin put restrictions on the /tmp directory (for a good reason). You can change the default setting of the tmp directory used during installation by setting the environment variables TMP and TEMP to a different directory. Don't forget to set BOTH!!! variables.

Hi,
you try following steps:--
(1) create oracle user with oinstall and dba group.
(2) chown -R oracle:oinstall /install directory(like /diask1/app/oaradata/1020).
(3)chmod 775 /disk1/app/oradata/1020.
(4)chown -R oracle:dba /disk1/app/oradata/1020.
(5)chmod 775 /disk1/app/oradata/1020
(6) watch carefully the oracle check at the time of initial install.
If anything is failed due to gcc packeage or because of some other reason then you have to rectify first.
you also need to configure /etc/sysctl.conf for kernel parameter in which you have to define shmmax size half of the ram.
you also need to run xhost + from root and then start installation once u r done with the configuration.

MK

User is oradev for our DEV instance.
But here is something else that I am unclear about.
I have run this patch in March - upgraded to 9.2.0.8. So the software is already there.
We clone DEV (and TEST) every month - and each time we clone, v$version shows 9.2.0.8 - but dba_registry shows all components at 9.2.0.5 (which is I believe is normal since the system files are also cloned
Do I have to re-install the 9.2.0.8 binaries again (which is what I am trying to do now) or just run the catupgrd after opening the DB in strartup migrate mode?
Please help.
Thanks a lot

help me to install oracle on linux (RH9) without any error.

Probably Oracle 10g (although you don't specify)
Putting Oracle9i and 10g on Red Hat 9 will require a LOT of tender loving care by someone who understands distributions, kernels, gcc and glibc. From the sounds of it, you are not current on Linux maintenance so I suggest you consider upgrading to a newer Linux - Fedora 6 or 7 are the replacement for RH9 and CentOS and Oracle Enterprise Linux are easier to use with Oracle.
But - in answer to your question: what happend when you
cd /tmp
df -k .
ls -ld /tmp

Hi, i am installing Oracle9i 64bit on a 64bit processor and when i run the installer and i get the following error:

I am not sure what was wrong in the Initial download of the Install.
I did it again and this time it came properly and all the files in the install directory ie unzip was present and the Installer came up properly.

"Error In Writing to directory ..." getting the error while installing oracle 10g in laptop

Hi
I thought I'd make my first post a hijack of a vaguely related thread,
then some kind moderator could separate it out and branch it off to a post of its own.
I'm not even sure this is in the proper forum.
But anyhow ...
i am getting problem while installing oracle 10g in laptop its showing error as "Error in Writing to Directory C:\Users\Accent.Muthu\Appdata\Local\temp\OraInstall2011-03-03-10-51-53 AM.

so please tell me the solution as soon as possible

Error in writing to directory when installing

Hi, I encounter an error when installing Oracle 9.2.0.6 client on Window 2000 Professional machine. After I execute setup.exe about 3-5 secs, an error message is showed which displays "Error in writing to directory c:\docume~1\....\Temp\OraInstall2009-04-18_01_08_20PM. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 32MB of disk space.Installation can not continue.".
I tried a number of testings and am sure that the cause of this error is not like the surface desription of the message. The error is no reaseon triggerred by permission or disk space. In addition, the timing of the error happens is when the installation copy temp files to my OS temp directory. I have further googled much information and did some tries but still have no idea how to solve it. Can anyone give instrcution to solve this problem?
Thank in advance.

I find a document describing the problem I have in installation. The reference is
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=NOT&id=433612.1&blackframe=1.
It says 2 work-arounds for the problem.
----------Extraced from the doc----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of 05-25-2007, this BUG is still unresolved. Two potential work-arounds exist:
Workaround #1
============
Keep 9.2.0.5 (or greater) patchset staging area, and use the runInstaller from the 9.2.0.5 (or greater) patchset staging area.
Workaround #2
============
To fix this in the $ORACLE_HOME, you can just edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/oui/oraparam.ini and update the value of the "JRE_LOCATION" with the actual value of <ORACLE_HOME>/jdk directory (upto and including the "jdk" directory).
About the first work-around, I don't know how to do. About the second one, I am confused, because the "$ORACLE_HOME/oui" path will be created after the installation is done. But I encounter error in installation. So, how can i edit the file "$ORACLE_HOME/oui/oraparam.ini."? In addition, I find oraparam.ini in the "disk1\install" path. And change the value of "JRE_LOCATION" to "C:\orahome\jdk" (My $ORACLE_HOME is "C:\orahome"). Howere, it doesn't work. I don't understand the meanings of the two work-arounds. Can anyone explain these to me or tell me where to get fruther information?
Thank in advance.

Error in writing to directory?

Hi Team
I format the Oracle DataBase and I am again installing
Oracle DataBase when i click setup .exe
It is showing an error message like
Error in writing to directory C:\DOCUM~1\ADMIN~1\.... . Oracle Universal Installer needs you to have permission in this area to install.
What to do?
Regards
Ora

Hi,
My first answer would be - change the permissions, the second change default TEMP directory for the user that you use to install Oracle. I think that the user used during Oracle installation on Windows should have local administrator privileges, so your error may suggest that you are using wrong user to perform the installation.

Oracle 9i install error in writing to temp file

Could someone please help?
I'm trying to install the Oracle 9i client (v.9.2) on windows xp, but getting this error:
"Error in writing to directory C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2005-09-15-xxxxxxx". Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 32 MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue.
I deleted the install on the temp folder, there is more than enough space to write (over 20gb free hd space). I'm lost on how to fix it, and have wasted far too much time trying to get it to work. Please help!!!

You could set TEMP and TMP temporarily in a DOS box :
set TEMP=<temp_directory>
sert TMP=<temp_directory>
Then start setup.exe out of this DOS box.
Unfortunately there are reported many possible reasons for this error, including bugs.
Maybe this metalink note could help:

Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory.

When i try to install iTunes in my Windows 7, this error message apear "Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory." Someone help me!!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
