OBS not working after Installation

Hi All,
I am having a had time to make OSB 10.3.0.3 x64 working on my Dell 1850 x64 machine with Windcows Server 2008 x64 on it.
OK, I've done is:
I do have a SCSI card attached to this server and a tape drive. All system is up to date with all latest drivers and firmware. I did install HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools to test my tape drive connectivity and performace and it is all good. After that I did install OSB , the installtion went just fine and it let me pick my tape drive. ...... and here I have issues....
1. After I finished my installation I went to windows services mmc to see if OSB service is running...and it wasn't, so I started it.
2. I went to CMD and typed "obtool" and got an error message:
obtool: Error: this host's identity to Oracle Secure Backup has not yet been established.
3. I tryed to run a Web Administration Tool and got an error page.
4. Restarted the server.
5. Apache log folder in OSB Home is empty, there is nothing there. Another thing I found that my "OSB HOME \admin\config" folder has only "dataset" folder in it when it should have folders inside. It looks like it is not configuring Apache and OSB domain for me after installation.
6. Went to CMD and run: "obtool --initnewdomain" and it let me to crete it. Even let me to get onto obtool after that but Web Admin Tool is still not working.
7. I run my HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools again to see if SCSI card and drive connectivity is fine.... and it cannot detect my drive anymore.
So, I did a lot of rebooting and reinstalling and it still doesn't work. There is nothing running on the same TCP port on my system and as long as OSB is installed I can not get into my tape drive using HP Tape drive tools, not even detect it.
I did a bit more testing, instead of installing x64 OSB version I did try to install x86 (32 bit) on my x64 machine. The result is that Web Admin tool is still down (I am sure it is because Apache x86 on x64 machine) which is OK, and obtool is running fine, I can start it....... so, what would be your suggestion ?
P.S. I do have a development server, which is absolutely the same including SCSI card, the only difference is that it has Windows 2003 x86 installed and has DB 11g running on it. I did connect my tape drive to thys system, installed OSB for testing and Web Admin Tool, obtool was just fine. I even was simply able to test tape backup from EMC using OSB.
Thanks

I did that....and many times.
I, figured it out!!!! When I did try to manually run "obhttpd.exe" it gave me an error that "msvcr71.dll " is missing. I've found that MS .Net Framework and MS Visual C++ 2005 contains it. So, before installing any updates on my machine, I did install all MS .Net Framework versions from 1.1 to 4.0 including all updates and Microsoft Visual C++ from 2005 to 2010. In addition, I did copy this DLL file into my System32 folder. Did install OSB and it still didn't work but "obhttpd.exe" was starting without error messages. The only thing I didn't try yet was to rename a server. So my server name was "san-manage3" and I renamed it to "san-bk3", rebooted, installed OSB and it worked. So, I don't know if it is because of long DNS name or all together, but it is fine now.

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
    I hope I helped

  • Snow Leopard not working after installation

    After successful installation of Snow Leopard on a new internal hard drive (connected through IDE to SATA adapter) in my Macbook (late 2006), it is not working. No icon is clickable, only cursor can move. Please help!

  • In-built mic not working after installation of windows 7 on my hp nc8430

    So I installed windows 7 on my laptop which originally was running windows xp (hp compaq nc8430) and it turns out that the inbuilt mic is not working and it won't even recognise the SD card that i insert in the card slot. Everything was working perfectly before the installation. I checked the audio devices in control panel and it says the microphone is not plugged in. Also the screen resolution is weird, it won't go above 1024x768, everything is too big for my liking.
    Could someone help me out please? Thanks in advance.

  • Internet does not work after Installation of Oracle10g on SuSE 10 Enterpris

    Hi,
    I installed SUSE 10 then configured the network services using network manager as it did not work by just putting the DNS servers and router address. The internet was working fine till I installed Oracle 10g. It somehow modified my DNS address from 203.97.33.1 to 203.97.33.14. The web interface for Oracle works fine.
    If I run the Network manager again, my internet starts working but the Oracle web interface does not work.
    I do not understand what's happening. Please help.
    Thanks.

    I have never liked using Network Manager with Oracle. If you use traditional ifup, you can use SCPM and have different profiles. The first 2 things I do during an install of Suse Linux that will have Oracle 10g is disable Network Manager and disable IPv6. Go to /etc/hosts and remove all entries that have the IPv6 addresses. The 10g OC4J applications from database and application servers have problems with IPv6 addressing. Make note of your current DNS addresses and your route before reconfiguring to ifup. Use route -n to get the router address if you do not already know it. It is the gateway with values. It is also a good idea to configure your wired ethernet device to start on boot up, then you can ping your hostname whether or not your cable becomes disconnected, i.e. still access dbconsole with the router down.

  • Lsnrctl and sqlplus do not work after installation

    I install Oracle 10g on my Linux, but it does not work. For example when run lsnrctl or sqlplus, nothing happens. Any idea?

    Hi,
    Create a bash profile .bash_profile in your home path as follows:
    # .bash_profile
    # Get the aliases and functions
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
    fi
    # User specific environment and startup programs
    PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    export PATH
    export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle10g
    export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/dbhome_1
    export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
    export ORACLE_SID=TESTDB
    Save this setting and run this file first time
    $. .bash_profile
    Once you run this I hope sqlplus should work provided you supply correct path and directories names to this file.
    Use netca to recreate your listener and start it.
    $lsnrctl start
    $lsnrctl status
    Hope it will help.

  • Oracle 10gR2 on Mac OS/x 10.5.6 - dbconsole not working after installation

    Hi All,
    Anyone able to get dbconsole up and running after the installaton using DHCP?
    I followed the Quick Install guide linked on the OTN Mac Page:
    http://www.pythian.com/news/1937/quick-install-guide-for-oracle-10g-release-2-on-mac-os-x-leopard-intel
    I'm setup with DHCP (as they are in the quick install guide).
    Config Assistant ran setup for Enterprise Manager successfully, but it looks like it did not create the repository or directories.
    When I go to create manually with emca I get errors.
    Curious if anyone has got this going out of the box or if there is a standard set of steps I missed out there post install to get it running.
    Don't see anything in the official installation guide or Metalink either (except that DHCP is not really recommended).
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Hi Anthony,
    Unfortunately, the releases note for 10gR2 on OS X indicate that Enterprise Manager database control is unsupported for this release, so I don't think you'll see anything from Oracle about how to get dbconsole to work. That doesn't mean it isn't possible, of course, just unsupported. :-) A quick Google search isn't turning up anything so far, but maybe someone out there in Internet-land has managed to get dbconsole to work...
    Regards,
    John P.

  • JVM not working after installation of J2SE

    My computer is a Pentium III 800MHz running W98se and I�m having problems with the installation of JSDK.
    I'm beginning to learn Java and wanted to install J2SE. Erroneously I downloaded and installed J2RE. Then I tryied to uninstall it but as I couldn�t manage to have any result uninstalling by Control Pannel, I removed it from Programs list at Control Pannel and deleted the directory. Then I installed J2SE.
    Since then, various url I try to open at IE (version 6), including examples of the inatallation of J2SE, causes to open an Install On Demand of the JVM. After the 5M download , during the installation Norton AntiVirus accuses xmldso.cab of virus, and I choose to proceed with the file. Finished installation, the problem continues.
    I�ve already tryied to dowload Microsoft VM from Microsoft site and installed it manually, but the same occurs. I went to Java Plugin page (http://java.sun.com/plugin), chose �Consumer�, and when I choose Automatic Installation, 2 things happen: first, a window open but no progression bar or �time left� are shown; second, after some time, when it seems to finish, the Windows show that very known �blue screen� of error.
    How can I install correctly the JVM and JSDK? Must I first uninstall J2SE? And how could I uninstall them?
    Thanks in advance

    A thought just occurred to me - you probably have 5 backups of your registry in the form of files named RBnnn.cab in windows\sysbackup.
    If you can match your software configuration with one of the backups, you can restore one, taking your machine back to a previous date. The critical part is to match the restored registry to your software configuration. If, for instance, your software configuration had been unchanged for a few days before you did the first JRE install, and one of the backups is from prior to the JRE install, then you could restore that backup. Here's some info - there's much more our ther, use Google.
    Registry Checker
    Registry Checker is a free tool built into Win98 that scans the Registry every time your PC starts up. If a problem is detected, it automatically replaces the Registry with a daily, new backup copy. Registry Checker keeps five complete backup copies of your Registry for a five-day incremental history. Restoring the Registry manually is a four-step process: (1) Select Start, Shut Down, Restart in MS-DOS mode, and OK. (2) Type scanreg /restore from the command prompt. (3) Choose the latest good version of the Registry from the list of the last five backups named Rbnnn.cab (CAB), where nnn starts at 000 and date/time stamps. The screen also shows Started or Not Started for each backup, meaning that the particular copy of the Registry has (or hasn't) successfully started your system. (4) Click Restore. If the restore is successful, Registry Checker tells you. If there is a problem, an error message appears. If the latter occurs, try restoring the next oldest CAB. You can manually run Registry Checker from the System Information applet's Tools menu. However, this interface can not restore but only makes a backup copy.

  • Configuring ports not working after installation of HP 6000.

    I had written last night about problems getting my HP 6000 Wireless E609n printer to work on my home network. There are three computers hard wired into a medialink router, with the printer attached to one that is running Windows 7.  One of the other two computers runs Windows 7, the other XP. The three computers can see each other on the network.  I downloaded the software for the XP and installed it, and the installation went okay, but the printer still will not print.  It seems as if the problem is with the router or the settings on the printer.  The printer works on the main machine, the one it is attached to.  I printed the Printer Status Report, and under connectivity settings, the network status is offline with no active connection type.  Its URL is 0.0.0.0.  I was attempting to try and enter an IP address on the XP machine so that it could see the printer.  So on the main machine, I tried to configure the ports to get the IP address.  I got this error message 'An error occurred during port configuration.  This operation is not supported.'  I had this problem earlier too, so I uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled it, but the problem remains.  I cannot obtain an IP address.  Are there settings for the printer or the router that need to be changed, or is it something else?  Any information would be appreciated.

    It sounds like you have the printer connected a Windows 7 computer with a USB cable and are sharing this over the network.  With this type of setup, you would not use an IP address since it would not have one.  The printer would only have an IP address if it is connected to the router (ethernet or wirelessly).  
    Based on the description of the setup, there really shouldn't be a need to have it connected directly to a Windows 7 system.  If you prefer to have it connected to a Windows 7 system directly and to share it with the other computers, this document from Microsoft discusses how to share it and this document from Microsoft covers adding a network shared printer in Windows XP.
    Honestly, I recommend using the printer connected to the router for the simplest and most problem free setup.
    HP's site does show the Officejet 6000 e609n supports wireless and wired network connections.  The easiest option would be to connect the printer to the router with an Ethernet cable (wireless can be problematic in some setups).  
    This document from HP covers how to install this printer on a wired network for Windows 7.
