Installing Oracle 9ias and Portal on Linux - hard work???

Has anyone else tried to install 9ias 1.2.2.1 onto an Intel Linux platform, specifically RedHat? If so I wonder if it has been straightforward to you? If so please let me know!!! I have been struggling away at it for over three weeks, and almost nothing works out of the box, so I have to start endless TARs with OSS, and the problem is that they seem to be struggling and floundering as well. So far I have been asked for a huge amount of information and config files etc (copies of which they presumably have already) with almost nothing back. The particular problems at the moment are: changing the login server to use ldap (Oracle Internet Directory) and running portal under ssl. We (OSS and I) just can't get these to work. The latest plan by OSS is to patch portal to version 3.0.9.8.3, however, when I install that it fails, with basic shell script errors (eg : command not found)!!
There are other problems - eg Forms doesn't work properly; Reports doesn't work at all. These things I will have to sort out later, as it gets a bit confusing for everyone having several TARs open at once.
If anyone has any ideas or insight into this I would be grateful.

It is not easy to configure. The patches produce side effects and this has caused delays from tech support. A bundle patch was applied to Rel 2 that has solved some problems. Why rel 2 production is not shipping is anybody's guess. The lack of practical expertise means that only corporate customers get preference. I have installed on quite few (NEW) solaris boxes in Europe and it does install ok but re-install gives some problems. BUT 'timeout' is a serious problem even after working on it (1.0.2.2 v2 3.0.9.8) for more than one year. The modules are not integrated smoothly, as you also experience. The cache is not efficient.
I suggest that you wait for rel 2 production (DOWNLOADED LACK THE PATCHES, so don't waste time) then try it on a clean box.

    Dear Friends,

    at this time my database was into another machine.
    then i installed oracle 9i database into the same machine
    (as the oracle 9ias was installed)
    at the instalation of oracle 9i database one error comes
    and shows that Agent configuration Assistant Installation
    fail.
    but After installation of database it work properly.
    there is no problem.
    but when I try to run from through web(by using oracle 9ias)
    it gives Internal error(500).
    i check and find that my appache server for 9ias is working properly and in services of windows 2000 no error comes.

  • Install Oracle 9iAS - Portal & infrastructure

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle 9iAS Infrastructure in c:\OraHome. When I try to install Oracle 9iAS - Portal and Wireless in the next step, it seems not possible to install this product in the same Oracle home (c:\OraHome). Will this cause problems later ? Where can I find information which explains the general concept of 'homes'. If the products are in different homes can Portal and SSO service still draw information from the same database ?
    Kind regards,

    Oracle Application Server middle tiers (Portal for example) needs to exist in a separate Oracle Home from Identity Management or Metadata Repository. Please refer to the installation guide.

    I don't really understand why you are using almost 6 years old distribution (release date 2002/09/30).
    What's the sense? Time has changed and of course SW included in this distro has changed (significantly) and especially glibc.
    10g R1 is certified for RH EL 2.1. When I compare version of packages (RH 8 vs RHEL 2.1) it could be possible (easily) to install on RH 8. For 10g R2 you need defintely upgrade at least glibc* packages.

  • Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

    Hi everyone,
    As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
    RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
    written by Werner Puschitz
    (http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
    attempts failed with identical symptoms:
    - the installer asks for Disk 2
    - after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
    kernel is writing messages similar to these in
    /var/log/messages:
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
    Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
    Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
    Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
    an explanation so far.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,

    Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

  • Installing oracle 10g and 11g client  on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host

    Is it possible to install Oracle 10g and 11g client on the same Linux RHEL 5.4 host and have the application switch between 10g and 11g? and how would the 10g and 11g be installed?

    Thanks for your reply.
    Typeically if 10g is installed in /home/roacle/product/10.2.0, are you saying that for 11g, it would be /home/oracle/product/11.0.0 ?
    How about switching the application? Does changing the ORACLE_HOME and PATH environment variable setting enough ? Let's say from
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1 to /home/oracle/product/11.0.0/client_1

  • Error while installing Oracle 9i AS Portal

    Hi all,
    after installation of Oracle 9i Application Server version 1.0.2.2.2 on Windows 2000(NT based), while installing Oracle 9i AS Portal using Oracle 9iAS Configuration Assistant on AS, following error appears while entering SYS password and connect information(SYS password and connect information(athlon64_01:1521:ORCL) are correct).

    Do you have a good reason to install this version of the application server? It is several years old.
    Here you find the most recent version, Oracle Application Server 10g.

    Unable to initialize threads:cannot find class java/lang/Thread
    Could not create Java VM'
    use rpm ,I discover my glibc's version is:glibc-2.3.2-11.9
    Who can help me?
    thank you.

    I have seen this before.
    Quick Fix:
    The problem with files still named xxxxxO is caused by the install. Sometimes it
    works to just copy the file in this case:
    $cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl
    There are probably other files that were not renamed by the install:
    Finally, the listener can run! yipee.. :)
    It failed to run because there're some file 'missing'.
    I told u before, lsnrctl didn't exist in my box. Well, I found that not only lnsrctl.
    There're three more files needed to be renamed. So, total in the list are
    dbsnmp, lsnrctl, tnslsnr, and oratclsh.
    All of them still have their odd xxxxO name (I should have known it from
    the start).
    Once I copied all the file to their 'proper' name, the listener can start
    successfully. (Though i think the listener need only lsnrctl and tnslsnr,
    i still renamed them all).
    But I wonder, why does the installer not rename those files?
    I found that those file were created normally during installation, until
    i run setup_stubs.sh.
    Is there any bug on setup_stubs.sh? Why you didn't experience it as I did?
    However, the most important things is, the database running well :)

    Any workaround ???
    Thanks in advance.

    There are many versions of RedHat. Your post indicates you are using one of them, but your post really does not give a hint as to which one. Funny thing is - different versions have different install requirements.
    I really don't understand why operating system version is such a big secret. Especially since it is logically so critical to installation issue. Even when installing on Windows, the first questions is 'which Windows'.
    You have, of course, followed the suggestions at http://www.puschitz.com and noted the errors and workarounds, have you not.
    Especially about things like packages and versions.
