Install error : Please make sure TEMP is set to a valid writable directory
Hello all.
When i run ./runInstaller on the command prompt.. i get the error below.
# ./runInstaller
Error in writing to directory /tmp. Oracle Universal Installer needs you to have permission in this area to install. Installation cannot continue. Please make sure TEMP is set to a valid writable directory.
: Permission denied
Yes i ran the command using oracle user.
Permissions checked on the partition.
# ls -ld /tmp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 11 20:11 /tmp
Please help, do i need to change the permission for the /tmp partition? if that is the case, what exactly command should i use to change the permission?
Hi
Try to do that
export TEMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=/tmp
export TMP=/tmp
just to be sure
Control after that the value is present with env | grep -i temp
please change also the value to 777 as root.
Read that for more information : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD
especially 2.14 Configuring the oracle User's Environment section 11 and 12.
Let us know if it helps.
Thanks.
Regards,

Help>About Firefox> says I am using Firefox/3.6.10./GTB7.1 I get a note from Mozilla that there is an update. I download it after granting permission to change my machine. I say OK. A green bar slides across the monitor announcing that the update is being downloaded. When I then assume it is being installed I get the following error: The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again. There are no other copies running. The machine is not on a network. I am using WIN7
Thanks for the info about Trojan. It may be the problem. Meanwhile I went to Admin/Owner side and did some cleaning -- including trying to reload my Favorite/Bookmarks that have always carried forth from previous levels of Windows XP and earlier.
The new computer here did not grab the Bookmarks from the previous, and yesterday I thought I had them loaded, and today went to Worker-Bee side and they are not showing.
About those add-ons... I have no idea, but think I got everything up to date yesterday. I will look at your earlier reply tomorrow or this weekend when I have more time at home to learn from it.
Thank you for your time in helping.

I click on Firefox and it says that Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few minutes. Then I get "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." this cycle never ends. Do I need to deinstall Firefox and re-install? If I do that, do i lose all of my bookmarks, etc?

*Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
*Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. Do not remove personal data when uninstalling.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

I'm using Firefox 4 Beta and I tryed install update but I dont got success. Now every time that I go start the browser is displayed the mensage: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again"
My release is installed not in default drive C:\. I installed in the other Partition on my PC.
I don't have other release installed.Try a clean re-install.
* Download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC (this is for the Firefox 4 release candidate)
* Uninstall Firefox, do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data"
* Delete the Firefox installation directory - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
* Re-install Firefox
This process does not remove the Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords which are stored elsewhere in the profile folder.
You may also need to manually reset the Software Update feature by deleting the software update files as shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update -
Safari Crash - Problem with doodle (planer) app - doodle web links cause safari to crash with a very strange message "Error - Please make sure Safari is not used in Private Modus" (translated from german) No Privat Modus buttom in ios 7 safari settings! Works fine with an older Safari Version. Web link, call doodle app. You could see the website in the backround working but safari crashes after clicking on the error window. Any suggestions?

My OS is Windows XP version service pack 3. I even tried to install FF4 but it never get installed. As I mentioned my FF keeps trying to update itself but it gives the error message I provided in title. Now I don't have access to my FF browser and my life is stopped because I have all my passwords saved on FF. I restarted my notebook but it stills try to update itself giving the same error message. I can not also upgrade my Adobe reader 7.0.7 to 10 I have tried more than 10 times but it never gets upgraded. I had this Adobe problem since long time ago.
Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

Netflix app error - Please make sure network connectivity and date and time are accurate
Am getting this error message when trying to view instant movies via ipad2 or iphone. Anyone have this error? I can't connect to Netflix via either device - I've tried unistalling & re-installing Netflix app on both devices. I am connected to the internet via our home network and date & time are correct on all devices & home computer - any other setting I'm missing? I didn't have any of these problems before I installed the new iOS5 on my devices. Netflix said it's an apple operating setting that needs to be modified.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
KristenHI Jason,
I feel for you. That's a lot of work!
How large is the partition you tried to create using BootCamp for Windows?
And how much free disk space is on the MacBook startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Just in case, check the Mac startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

This occurs upon initial boot up and no other users are on. No other firefox is running. The current version will then open without issue. Just want to warning removed

I followed the instructions on the support page. I did a Windows restart. I cannot see how other copies of Firefox could be running. No other apps have been launched and Task Manager only shows one copy of Firefox and no other apps. I have tried several times and always get the same result.

Get this message everytime I try to upgrade from FF6 to 7. I have rebooted and tried again twice and still nothing. Shortly after I get the failed to install message FF6 starts up by itself. On top of all this some, if not all web pages, do not complete. Google Chrome works just fine. No fix for FF problems I will uninstall and use Google Chrome

When I load Firefox (since an upgrade to 3.6) I get error messages before it starts stating the quote above. The message does not specify which update and so when stability problems arose I stopped using Firefox in preference for another browser. I also get a message prompting me about Java which doesn't happen with any other browser. If I cannot get rid of these messages then I will continue to prefer other browsers.
No, if I used the version of Firefox that I had then not only did I have the problem that I described but also it crashed regularly.
As I said, the latest version does not appear to have these problems so with any luck I will be able to say that the upgrade has resolved the issues but it is too soon to be sure. -
Launch Firefox & message says update couldn't be installed. Check no other copies running, but none are
Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Before this trouble started updates were automatically installed.
Firefox is trying to update but it can't because Firefox is running
Open the task manager with Ctrl + Alt + delete. Click on the Processes tab and find firefox.exe. Click End process -
it happening again and again, and firefox is not opening.
Firefox doesn't shut down cleanly. It never has. It often only does a "top kill" which leaves the bottom running. It won't start again until you kill the entire process. Open Task Manager, hunt around for the remnant of the application ("firefox.exe"), and kill it using a bottom kill.
