Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 installed on XP

I am experiencing a LOT of difficulty with my Oracle clients installed on XP. Of course when I install Oracle on their machines, I'm logged on as administrator. When the user logs in and tries to use an access database connecting to Oracle via. ODBC they get a simple message
"Can't connect to Oracle"
When they try to go into the ODBC administration window in the control panel they can click on the driver, but they get a "System 5 error". This tells me there is a permission problem. Which makes this worse is some machines have multiple users using it throughout the day.
A little test revealed that if I made that user a local administrator to that machine, they can work just fine.
Unfortunately although this would be a simple solution in the real world, we all know it's just not a good idea to make every user that uses that machine a local admin.
I'm not having this problem on any pre XP machines.
HELP!!!!

  • Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

    Dear Oracle technical representative:
    This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
    I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
    The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
    Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

    TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
    Installation problems are highlighted in red.
    Installation sequence/history:
         1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
         2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
              Computer name YGGDRASILL
              Host name = YGGDRASILL
              Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
         3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
         4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
         5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
         6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.          
         7. Installed MDAC 2.6
         8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
         9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
    According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
         10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
              Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
              Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
              Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Port = 2030
              SID = FIA
              SYSTEM Password = phwphw
              SYS Password = phwphw
              SCOTT Password = phwphw
              DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
              tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
              a. CD 1 of 3 load
                   1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
              b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
              c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
                   HTTP Server URLs
                        http://7778
                        https://4443
         12. Evaluation of install success begins.
              a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
              When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?          
              b. All other services start correctly.
              c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
              I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
              d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
         13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
         14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
         15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
    At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
    It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
         16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
              a. File locations Screen
                   Name: = OraLite501               
                   Path: = D:\OraLite501
              b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
              c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
                   Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
                   Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                        It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
                   Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
              d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.

              f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.

                   Database System password:

              h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Schema Name: fiafield
                   Password : fiafield
              i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
         j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
         k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
              1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
              2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
              3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
              4. OracleServiceFIA is started
              5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
              6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
              7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
         l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
              http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
         When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
         m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
         n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

  • Oracle XE service does not get installed

    Hi,
    2 days ago downloaded Oracle 10 g Express Edition and installed on my computer. It installed succesfully and gave no erros. But when I tried to go to the homepage it failed to open. Then I check the services.msc and found that OracleXEService was not there. Then I uninstalled it and installed 11g XE Release2. But again the same problem. What's wrong with this? Does the OracleXE setup install both client and server side?

    Well, there must be something going wrong on your system, and there should be some clue either in the installation process itself, or in the log files.
    On my system, there are five logs in the directory named above:
    cloneDBCreation.log
    CloneRmanRestore.log
    postDBCreation.log
    postScripts.log
    XE.bat.log
    Do you have any of these? If not, you could try a silent installation as documented in the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABBCGHA]Installation Guide. That way you'll definetly get a log file for the installation. There is also a silent mode for a repair installation. Perhaps you could try that as well.

    Hello,
    Thanks to reply, I have installed RAC 10g R2last month have to redo it coz of SAN connectivity driver failure and cross checked all the required RPMs again its all ok mean time I got a reply by metalink support as under
    As per bug
    Bug 4113186
    Looking at script /oracle/CRSHome/bin/ocrconfig, looks the installer didn't
    create the script properly as ORA_CRS_HOME is left null as below:
    ORA_CRS_HOME=
    ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/CRSHome
    Hence changing ORA_CRS_HOME to point to /oracle/CRSHome resolves this.
    Can you please help me out to understand these lines.

  • Oracle on windows cluster, with failsafe installed. Can it be switched live

    Hi all
    We have a oracle database, 10.2.0.4, installed on a 2 node Windows cluster (2003 R2 64 bit). Only one node is the active node. On top of this Failsafe is installed.
    Oracle is used for SAP.
    Normally when I need to switch the Oracle database from node1 to node2 I follow this procedure:
    1 bring down SAP
    2 set the database offline
    3 switch the Oracle database using failsafe
    4 set the database online
    5 start sap
    Being a hospital we just want to have SAP up all the time, this procedure only takes 20 min but I wondered if the switch could be done live
    So just go into the failsafe manager and switch, (won't do it in prime time of course)
    Can this live switch result in a corrupt database?
    Thanks for replying

    Hi,
    to do it really life you need another technology than a "failover cluster". You can use RAC for this.
    A failover cluster itself needs to be sure that the stack is down, before bringing it up on the other side. If not this can leed to corruptions... (though Oracle will try to prevent them in most cases)...

  • Oracle 8.1.7 does not install in pentium4 machine

    oracle 8.1.7 does not install in pentium4 machine. When I insert the disk, it fails to start. If I click setup.exe, it again fails to start installer. The problem is due to Pentium4. Any help? or any link/lead on this issue?
    Thanks.
    Jay

    There are some known bugs with Pentium 4 and Oracle 8i. Here is a copy of the posted solution:
    Re: [cornball] Oracle 8i installation on a Pentium 4 machine [In reply to] Can't Post
    I had the same problem on Pentium 4 machine. I found the following solution and also posted it on www.orafaq.net.
    The Oracle installation is now Java based. Oracle 8.1.7 comes with JRE 1.1.7 which is not supported on Intel P4. There is a new version of JRE 1.1.8 available from SUN. Which can be downloaded fron java.sun.com.
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/jdk/1.1.8_007/jre/index.html
    Now follow these steps:
    1. Install JRE 118 (consider installation folder as C:\Program Files\JRE118)
    2. Copy Oracle installation to some folder e.g. C:\OraInst
    3. Copy "bin" and "lib" folders from
    "C:\Program Files\JRE118" to
    "C:\OraInst\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32"
    4. Now run the setup.
    It will run perfectly.

  • Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX?

    Hi, guys:
    I have a question: Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX 4.2? I have installed Oracle XE 11g on windows 7, however, I got problem to run Oracle XE listener, though Oracle XE itself is running. Since my purpose is to run Oracle APEX I was wondering if I have to make Oracle XE listener working at first.
    Thanks for your comments!
    Sam

    Hi, Jarola:
    Thanks for your help! My supervisor asked us to install Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener in our local PC (windows 7 64 bits). I guess his purpose is to train us to install APEX 4.2 eventually. I installed OC4J and APEX listener before without much problem; but I have difficulty to install Oracle XE on windows 7 64 bits version as so far Oracle XE only supports 32 bits windows. after I installed Oracle XE, I got these problems:
    #1 the Oracle XE itself is running, but XE listener cannot work, it always reports "the Oracle OracleXETNSListener service started and then stopped, some service stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.",
    #2 It looks Oracle_home of XE conflicts with that of OC4J. I tried to set ORACLE_HOME as "C:\OC4J\oc4j_extended_101350;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server", but OC4J cannot find config file so I cannot start OC4J. it is messed up.
    #3 most of all, I was wondering if you could tell me the relationship among Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener regarding installing APEX 4.2, are they all necessary to install APEX 4.2? if so, could you guide me to install these things with proper steps (say, which one should be installed first?)? any of your suggestion would be very appreciated! (I have tried two weeks without progress...)

    We have gotten it running on two RH6 machines. Took a little
    extra work.
    Briefly...
    * Make sure you use the latest JRE, and try using the one
    with native threads (if not you will have to hand edit the
    netasst script and remove the -native flag)
    * For some reason some of the libs that get installed are
    zero length. Find the thread on this forum where someone posted
    some sample code to recreate these. If I remember right its the
    libjni library. It is a very short easy compile.
    * Make sure you got lots of RAM (128 min) and double that in
    swap

  • Oracle 8.1.6(bundled CD) install problem (ld failed)

    Hello...
    I tried to install oracle 8.1.6 into server. But I failed 3 more times.
    I don't know why. Please help me...
    According to the Oracle's install guide, I
    1) Added semaphore and shared memory info. to /etc/system
    and
    2) Install Intel Solaris 8 recommended patches.
    3) Install Forte C/C++ compiler. ( I used gcc for install. After failure,
    I cahanged compiler from gcc to Forete).
    I have no problem for mounting CD-ROM. But
    while copying and linking Oracle files, OUI gave me error messages such as " ld failed ..." .
    So I tried do manually such like this, "# make -f ins_plsq.mk install" . But the result was the same.
    Do you have any idea for this error?
    Thsnks.

    Please see error messages...

  • Oracle 8.1.5 can't install on PC Server with 2GB RAM

    We have gotten it running on two RH6 machines. Took a little

    Briefly...
    * Make sure you use the latest JRE, and try using the one
    with native threads (if not you will have to hand edit the
    netasst script and remove the -native flag)
    * For some reason some of the libs that get installed are
    zero length. Find the thread on this forum where someone posted
    some sample code to recreate these. If I remember right its the
    libjni library. It is a very short easy compile.
    * Make sure you got lots of RAM (128 min) and double that in
    swap

  • Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 Install Problems

    I made three install attempts for this software, and I'll detail them below.
    This was a fresh install on a computer that previously had no other version running
    ATTEMPT 1
    The installation procedure ran, but even though the OracleServiceXE service started, the server wouldn't work and I couldn't connect to it.
    c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\log\postDBCreation.log contained the following...

    ERROR:
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    I proceeded to uninstall and then reinstall in attempt 2.
    ATTEMPT 2
    This time, the installation procedure ran but didn't finish. It got up to the point where it said "Creating and starting services for Oracle Database 10g Express Edition..." and it sat there for a long time doing nothing, but there was a process "IDriver.exe" using a large percentage of the CPU all that while.
    I ended up having to kill the installation process with the task manager to stop it, and then since the installation wasn't successful had to manually delete everything in c:\oraclexe
    ATTEMPT 3
    This time the installation went a lot better and after the install, everything in c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\log\postDBCreation.log looks normal.
    I am able to connect to the database with sqlplus now, but the OracleXETNSListener process won't start.
    When starting, it says this, but the OracleXETNSListener doesn't stay running:
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>net start OracleXETNSListener
    The OracleXETNSListener service was started successfully.
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>net start OracleServiceXE
    The OracleServiceXE service is starting.
    The OracleServiceXE service was started successfully.
    If I start the service in the windows services application it says "The OracleXETNSListener service on Local Computer started and then stopped..."
    However, if I explicitly run c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin\tnslsnr.exe from the commandline, it works.
    Why won't it start as a service?

    Hello
    I have the same problem.
    My config :
    - XP SP 2
    Other installed products :
    - last version Oracle JDevelopper
    - Oracle Client 9.2.0 (the service does not run)
    By the way,
    JDev needs ORACLE_HOME set (c:\oracle for me).
    Should Oracle XE be installed in %ORACLE_HOME% too or in an new empty folder (like c:\oraclexe) as it is recommended by the installer
    I checked if I already use the port 1521 using netstat /ab but it seems this port is not used.
    On a second PC, it works well.
    How can I access the DB on my secondary PC from jdev on my priomary PC?
    --> how can I only install OracleXE client on my primary PC?
