Installing Oracle8i 8.1.7

After executing the ./runInstaller command, it says that it's initializing.../.../.. Please wait.. Then it stays there in a hanging state. The GUI never starts. Could anyone help me with this situation?
I have jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2 installed and configured.

You can also try the following solutions :
1. install the glibc compat. patches (compat-egcs / compat-glibc & compat-libs), most likely found in Redhat distribution disc.
2. Set the environment variable in Oracle installation account :
- export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
- . /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
3. Then run the "runInstaller" again, the GUI installer should come out.
You can refer to the patch p2062423 / p2062512 for details.

Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
" Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
Any clue?

I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

Installing, Oracle8i does not Create a database

Hi,
When installing Oracle8i Personal Edition in my PC, it does create a database. However, it does show the screen that it is creating a database with the message "database creation in progress".
First, I thought it may take a long time to create a database. So I left the PC on from a few hours to a WHOLE WEEK: 4 hrs, for a day, 1.5 days and finally the whole week. Nothing works and NO RESULT.
Please somebody help me and tell me what I did wrong.
Thank you.

Hi Marc,
I followed your instructions and tried to reinstall Oracle8i by:
- deinstalling the exisiting Oracle8i
- deleting all the Oracle8i base, home and other directoreis and the files
- rebooting the PC
- reinstalling the Oracle8i (excluding the SQL+ Help files
Then I:
- accepted all the default values for dabase parameters
- let the PC on for more than 12 hours
- Still no result
I have Pentium II 350MHz with 128Mb RAM.
Do you know anyone who can help me ?
Thanks.

Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]

Installing Oracle8i on WIndows 2000

I am currently trying to install Oracle8i (8.1.7) on windows 2000 professional. Everytime I run setup the egg timer comes on and nothing happens. Anyone have any ideas?

Success at last! I'm installing Oracle 8.1.7 on a p4 running win 2k as I type this. I downloaded the java sdk 1.3.0 from java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-windows.html and installed it. Then I located the symcjit.dll in my Oralce installation folders (on my hard drive) and renamed it. Then ran the installer and voila! it worked.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Subramaniam Perivemba ([email protected]):
I'm having the same problem on windows 2000 running on a pentium 4. Apparently the file symcjit.dll is used to identify the processor does not do so on a P4. The version of thes file should be 3.10.107 or higher. Dell suggested I install the java runtime environment v 1.3.0 and this may correct thr problem. I did so but no luck. I did a search for this file and the only one I found was in the Oracle installation folder.

Problems installing Oracle8i on Win XP

Hi,
Anyone knows what to check for problems installing Oracle8i on WindowsXP?
I would appreciate getting a check list so that I or anyone reading the list can understand clearly run through all the steps required in sourcing the problem.
I am writing for a friend so I can't actually state what he is experiencing; only that the WinXP may have been an upgrade installation and not a clean installation. Could that cause problems. The Oracle8i installed and worked fine on the previous system.
I Would really appreciate hel asap. Thanks in advance.
Linda

Lida,
first of all verify the version of Oracle is certified with the version of the Operating System.
then do the following steps to install :
Start the Installer and Install the Oracle Software:
-Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive
-If autorun is configured, the installer will start automatically
-To manually start the installer, double-click on cd:\setup.exe
-From the welcome screen, select NEXT
-From the File Location screen, select NEXT
-Select "Enterprise Edition" for the Install Category.
-Select Typical to install the software, create a database and start
the database (Other selections are available for minimal or custom installs).
-Follow on screen prompts
-The install will begin.
-When completed, the install will have created a default database,configured a listener, and started both for you.
-When the installer completes, you should have a working database running along with the listener.
-Should the installer fail, note the error given. Check nstallActions.log in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
Oracle 8i does not have any installation problem with XP.
hope this will help you.

Installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows 2000)

Hi, All:
Greetings! We are new to Oracle9iAS and we need your help.
We want to try all of the Oracle9iAS components for our Oracle8i (8.1.7) data warehouse, so we use two Windows 2000 server machines to do the test. One is for the Oracle8i database (8.1.7) and another is for the Oracle9iAS. However, we have not found the installation guide on the Oracle sites for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines. We have no problem installing the Oracle8i (EE). Our questions are:
1. Is there any installation guide for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows NT/2000)?
2. Should we follow the steps in the Oracle9i Application Server Installation Guide for Windows NT/2000?
3. Is there anything or tips for the installation we should know?
Please help us if you know anything about the installation. Thanks for your time and kindness!

Hello,
You can install oracle databaes and oracle 9ias on seperate machines which will have less problems indeed.
All the documentation you get in technet is the latest !!!
It is better you have 1.0.2.2 which is the latest release for Oracle 9IAS.
The steps to install Oracle 9IAS in brief are as follows !!!
> Install 8i database (which is not necessary in your case), but notedown the hostname, port, sid etc
> Install 9IAS which requires the info of database which you have noted in step 1
Follow the Installation documentation provided with Oracle 9IAS 1.0.2.2 which has screen shots !!!
Also in technet a new folder 'Oracle9i by Example: Tutorial' has been added which has installation instructions !!!
Hope this helps !!!

Installed Oracle8i problem

Dear Friends,
I installed Oracle8 in Windows95 before and had no
problem.
However, recently I tried a few times to install
Oracle8i in Windows2000(Professional), it always pop
up a message box by saying "Invalid staging area.
There are no top level components for WindowsNT
available for install from this staging area."
The Oracle8i CD shows that it's for Win95/98/NT but doesn't mention about Windows2000.
What components my computer needs? How to solve this problem, what should I do?
Thanks.

I installed 816 EE on my home NT40 workstation without any troubles. Please make sure that you've suttisfied all installation requirements as written in the Installation Guide.Install other version of Servis Pack. I am usinn SP6. Alo you can try to copy a sample database from cd without creating it
