Oracle 10g Installation Craps Out - 4 Days now and still no database runnin

I'm about to give up on Oracle 10g. I have been developping and installing Oracle 8 and 9i for 4 years without any problems but I can't seem to get anywhere with 10g. I'ts one error after another. Am I the only one to have these problems. I'm running XP with 1G memory + all service packs and updates installed. Why is this soooooo complicated. Here's what in the .err file:
oracle.sysman.oip.oipc.oipcr.OipcrExecuteRuleException: Unable to execute rule 'CertifiedVersions' from ruleset 'OSChecks'.

Hard to tell. I am leaning toward operator error as many of us have installed 8i, 9i 10gR1 and 10gR2 on Windows XP with latest service packs, online updates and AV protection with no issues.
Are you installing form a DVD or a downloaded version?
Did you do a checksum on your download if you downloaded?
Do you have at least 2 GB of permanent Page file (swap)?
Did you already create the loopback adaptor?

Did you review the installation logs to see what the root cause of the error was?

G.3 Reviewing the Log of an Installation Session
During an installation, Oracle Universal Installer records all the actions that it performs in a log file. If you encounter problems during the installation, review the log file for information about possible causes of the problem. By default, the log files are located in the following directory:
SYSTEM_DRIVE:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs
Log filenames from interactive installations take the form:
installActionsdate_time.log
For example, if an interactive installation occurred at 9:00:56 a.m. on October 14, 2005, the log file would be named:
installActions2005-10-14_09-00-56AM.log

Disable anti virus software.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion as well as third party download managers.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Oracle 10g installation on Windows 7

I am currently using Oracle 10g on my laptop running on Windows Vista. Now i am planning to upgrade my OS to Windows 7. My question here, is can I use the same Oracle 10g installable to install in windows 7 also ??
is it possible ??
thanks,
JJ

Possible yes? Brilliant no!
Windows 7 is totally uncertified and unsupported with all Oracle products and if you have an issue there is essentially no support or patch available.
Personally I think Vista a cruel joke so my recommendation would be to go to XP SP3 which at least has the attribute of stability or move to Linux which is what I did on one of my laptops.

I am in problem with a Solaris 10 package "SUNWsprox - Sun workshop Bundled 64-bit make library" for Oracle 10g Installation. I checked the CDs (In the /.../products) but did't found this packege. Can any one tell me please can I go without this package or where I found this package...Please Its very URGENT for me....
Thanks
Mohammed Tanvir

Hi...
I had the same issue, but found out that the SUNWsprox was replaced by SUNWsprot. The OUI 10.1 Release 2 will 'pass' as the doco in the Oracle quick install guide is wrong (as well as 10g Application Server).
The only way to lay a 10g Release database on Solaris 10 is to lay the software doen only, then cd in the .../bin directory, step your Rdbms ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and of course the DISPLAY (is X-windowing into the server), and run dbca manually. Oracle 10g is a bit buggy.

Sometimes putting it in Airplane mode for 30 seconds, then turning Airplane mode off again will fix this. If not, try Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

Oracle 10g installation questions

Hi,
I tried to install Oracle 10g (Enterprise Edition) on Windows 2000 server, and encountered the following error when I used the Database Upgrade Assistance to ugrade one of my existing Oracle 8 database TEST.
ORA-01658: Unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace USERS.
I searched the forum, and seems that there is not enough space for my USERS tablespace. Is it the right solution?
If I clicked Ignore for the above erro, another error appeared:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
I don't have table or view in TEST database, it is just a database instance created by Oracle 8. Do I have to create tables or views in order to upgrade it to Oracle 10g database?
I tried to upgrade an existing Oracle 8 database TEST1 which has data in it, and got the following error:
ORA-01119: error in creating database file D:\oracle\oradata\test1\sysaux01.dbf.
ORA-27044: unable to write the header block of file.
One last question is that after the failing of the DBUCA, I was told that the 10g was successfully installed on my server while no orcl database was created even if I chose
to create a database orcl during my installation.
The following are services running for 10g after the installation.
OracleCSService Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus Started
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerEncapsulator
OracleOraDb10g_home1SNMPPeerMasterAgent
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER10 Started
Anybody has any idea what went wrong?
Your early reply is greatly appreciated.
Jane

I believe the answers are:
1. the Oracle client needs to be the same bits as the TimesTen server. i.e. if you have 64b TimesTen, then you will need 64b Oracle client. If you have 32b TimesTen then you will need 32b Oracle client.
2. Yes. I believe you can install 64b TimesTen with 64b Oracle client and connect this to a 32b Oracle server. I dont have any idea about performance overhead of this configuration.

Oracle 10g Installation nn solaris 10 X86

I have installed Oralce 10.1.0.3 in Solaris 10 X86 using the procedure given without creating the database.(Installing the binaries)
Hardware:Sun fire V20z.
When i tried creating Database using DBCA,it was throwing lots of error.
The errors are:
1) ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
2) ORA-03114: not connected to oracle
3) ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists.
Oracle says nothing to do with Oracle 10g,Check the OS.
Any help on creating a database in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10.1.0.3
Thanks in Advance.

check your /etc/system and init.ora
did you set up kernel parameters for oracle in /etc/system?
something like this:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=4096
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1000
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
the interesting parameter is
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100 - that is maximum amount of oracle processes system can have, if you have something like processes=150 in init.ora, database won't start.
read oracle installation manual on how to set these parameters for a particular machine and database

Oracle AS10g = 10.1.2.0.2 I presume...
However, my first questions is still valid "The questions is if you followed EVERY step outlined in the Application Server Installation Guide? If you did, then there should be no errors."
I have had similar issues when environment variables was still set during installations, ORACLE_HOME etc. You must unset those, as described in the Installation Guide, before starting an installations.
Please check these two Metalink Notes:

Is Oracle AS part of Oracle 10g installation?

I had a query that is Oracle application server a part of Oracle 10g installation? I get this doubt because isqlplus which runs on port 5560 by default has a web interface.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Doesn't strike me as a "high traffic" issue, if you pause the download can you open the /Applications/ folder on your Mac and see if the installer already present? If you can stop the download and delete the installer (because it is not finished), the try again?
If you've already done the above have you tried using Disk Utility First Aid from your Recovery HD?
Try to verify/repair the disk and see if that takes care of it. (Of course make sure you have a good, recent backup before trying this.)
If you're still having issues: re-install OS X from the Recovery HD, install all available software updates, try again.

I have had my Apple TV for 3 days now and the movie I wanted to rent still hasn't loaded. What am I doing wrong?

I have had my Apple TV for 3 days now and the movie I wanted to rent still hasn't loaded. What am I doing wrong? The movie is only 1hr 33min but says it'll take over 4hrs to load.

AppleTV rentals are fixed size, and don't degrade quality if the connection is slow.
Minimum suggested requirements for 'instant' streaming are:
SD 2.5Mbps
720p HD 6 Mbps
1080pHD 8 Mbps
Any slower for the content quality selected (Settings iTunes store) and AppleTV has to partially download the movie in order to play through without rebuffering, and that can take anything from minutes to hours depending on internet speed and actual 'file size'.
The problem you see is usually related to slow intermet (very slow LAN connection from your router is rarely an issue but could be if AppleTV is not getting good signal).
On a computer use speedtest.net to test your internet speed.
When I has a 1 Mbs it would take 8-10 hours to download an SD title.
With 4.5 Mbps it take 15-30 minutes to play 720p movies, longer for 1080p.
A big flaw with AppleTV for those with slow connections is the limited hardware and memory - if you get bored waiting for the movie to start and use AppleTV say for YouTube. streaming from your computer iTunes or merely browsing the store trailers this can be enough to delete the portion of a rental already downloaded forcing it to restart each time you use it for something else.
If you turn out to have slow internet an alternative is to rent in iTunes on your computer, then once fully downloaded you can play on AppleTV under Computer>your iTunes>Rentals (only appears when a rental is on the computer ready to play). Alternatively lower rental quality settings from 1080p>720p>SD in future if you need faster starts.
I have also seen issues recently on some of my units where it starts downloading well, but for some reason freezes and refuses to fetch the rest unless I play from the start - this is usually after I've played and paused a rental a few minutes in and I've confirmed it just stops fetching more data sporadically - it never used to do this.

Updated iTunes to 10.5, iTunes won't work now! Everytime I open iTunes it just freezes and I can't click on anything. It says to take it out of compatibility mode and still doesn't work! any help??

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)
Re: How do I turn off the compatibility mode for ITunes.
Does that clear up the compatibility message?
