Personal Oracle 8.1.7 installation issues

Hi everybody
I was trying to install Personal Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows Me and I got the following message from OUI after a couple of seconds:
Invalid Staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area.
Searching in these forum messages I found that Windows Me is not supported.
Well, I moved to XP Professional and now I get:
Invalid Staging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this staging area.
So, what is the idea with this Personal 8.1.7 ? where does it work finally?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have run into the same ditto problem as Ricardo explained. Please let us know if anyone knows a solution.
Neet to be able to install Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.7 on Windows Me.
Thank you.

Personal Oracle 8.1.5, Installation Problem

I installed Personal Oracle (Windows NT)8.1.5 and
I installed Oracle Client 8.1.6
Personal Oracle (main database: ZEUS) works fine! only if I am at network.
As soon as I undock my laptop, personal Oracle does not allow me to get connection through sqlplus.
I checked listeners:
File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
ZEUS =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
(PRESENTATION = TTC)
(SESSION = NS)
seems they are fine. sql.ora - looks like fine as well!
File: D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.CLIENT_REGISTRATION = sashb
NAMES.PREFERRED_SERVERS =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sashb)(PORT = 1521))
configuration file ... find!
Configuration File:D:\Oracle\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
ZEUS.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SASHB)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ZEUS)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.LAN.MIL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
The question is very simple, why the personal Oracle works inside network, and it does not work if I undock my system?
If I need to make any changes, what changes must be done?
It is window NT, Service pack 5.
Personal Oracle installed with default settings at D: drive, with default directory settings.
PS.
I tryed to shutdown database, listeners, and startup listeners, and after this database--did not help. I check registry... seems fine.
What is missed?
Thank you very much.

Oracle Linux 6.2 Installation Issue

Basic Oracle Linux 6.2 installation problems.
There are two iso files supplied for the installation.
V29609-01.iso (install files)
V29610-01.iso (bootable disc)
I boot from V29610-01.iso and the setup files run fine.
I am then prompted to identify the location of the second disc.
I encountered a problem where my DVD drive door would not open to insert the second disc.
To work around this problem I created a partition on my hard disc to copy
the installation files for the second disc to.
I boot from windows 7 (my primary operating system) and copy the installation files from the disc
to the partition.
I reboot from V29610-01.iso.
When prompted to identify the location of the install disc/files on my hard drive
I selected the drive where I copied the files to and press <enter>
I receive a message that it cannot find the image disc there.
I shut down.
I boot from windows 7 and this time copy the actual disc image
V29609-01.iso there instead
I reboot from V29610-01.iso and repeat the same procedure.
It still can't locate the disc image.
(I noticed the boot disc always defaults to the following structure in its displayed path \image\image.img
for the image file that it is trying to locate)
I shutdown.
I boot from windows 7 and this time create a directory called image and
rename V29609-01.iso to image.img and copy it to the image directory. Still no luck.
Why can't it locate the disc image?
Thankyou

@ O.P.,
What are you actually trying to accomplish? Replacing your Windows OS with dual boot Linux? In the later case I recommend you to use VirtualBox and forget about the old-fashioned and obsolete dual boot. Of course your system must not be older than 7 years with a x86_64 CPU and VT-x or AMD-d option. Why do you want to install a 32-bit OS?
Anyway, the V29609-01.iso install DVD is bootable. You will need to burn the .iso disk image doing a raw disk copy, but not the content of the mounted .iso image or you will loose the bootloader. There is plenty of information in Google searching for "burn iso image". If you use Virtualbox you can boot right of the disk image file without burning a DVD.

Oracle 8.1.6 Installation Issues

I've tried to install Oracle 8.1.6 many times with no success. Installing the "Typical" configuration works fine until it is 90% done with creating the starter database. Then, I will get an, "end of file on communication channel" error message. The database creation stops at that point. If I try to create the database manually using SVRMGRL, I get a, "TNS:protocol adapter error" message. Attempts at reconfiguring the tnsnames, listener, or password files have failed.
The install platform:
- Windows NT 4.0 (with service pack 5)
(it may have an option pack as well)
- Intel Celeron 500 mhz
- 13 gb hard drive
- 256 mb ram

TCP/IP seems to be functioning properly considering that Oracle 8.0.5 will install and run perfectly.
Oracle 8.1.6 doesn't seem to have a problem writing to the registry or creating the services.
It is possible that the issue has to do with the NT installation itself because a co-worker was able to get it running on the same platform after a clean image was loaded.

Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g installation issues

Hi All,
I have downloaded the OWB 10g, from the site. I have Oracle 10g (Release 2) database server installed on the machine.
When I start installing Oracle Warehouse Builder 10g, it just does the client installation and I am not able to find out were should I search for the OWB server installation?
Even I have checked by installing the same but I just have Repository Assistant , Design Center and Repository Browser available on the machine. I could not find the Runtime Assistant & Control Center to work on?
Can somebody help me out with these issues?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anand

Hi...
There is an explanations..from the FAQ itself :
How do I download and install Warehouse Builder Client versus Warehouse Builder Server?
Warehouse Builder is a single install image that contains both Client and Server components, which are installed at the same time as part of the installation process. If the deployment target database is on the same machine as Warehouse Builder Client UI, there is one single installation process. If the deployment target database is on a separate machine, the install process has to be run twice, repeating the exact same install process on the client machine (to run the Warehouse Builder Design client) and the deployment target machine. Normally when installing the repository, either locally or remotely, the OWB software needs to be already present on the machine. However, it is possible to skip or defer the step of installing on the target deployment machine. This is referred to as a “Remote Target Configuration”. More information on this can be found in the Installation Guide, Chapter 2, “Remote Target”.
hope this helps...

Oracle 11g R2 Windows Installation issue

Hey everybody,
i was trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on a Windows Server 2008 64-bit machine. During the installation i am getting an error message multiple times (about 20 times) where it says it cannot find certain files like C:\app\ora11g\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oc4j\j2ee\oc4j_applications\WFMLRSVCApp.ear and some other files too. If i click move on in the dialog box each time an error occurs the installation will succeed and finish successfully.
What am I doing wrong, do I have to change anything before installation starts?
I am using the correct 64-bit installation files i downloaded from the Oracle homepage...

Hi Hans,
know I found where it contains the information about the downloads. It only shows up when you click on the "See All", but it won´t show up if you directly download via the Disk 1 or Disk 2 link on the download page. Good point. I never would have believed noobs would stop at that page and not be curious about what other stuff might be available under 'See All'. Stuff like the 'De-install' package.
Since you didn't do it, I posted a comment/suggestion in the Download forum to put an additional note on the top 11gR2 download page.
What brings up more confusion is when you click on the "See All" button next to the download for the 32-bit Version of 11g R2 for Windows an error comes up. Worked for me.
You reported your error ... where?
So I think Oracle needs to improve its homepage a lot...If you have ideas there is a forum "Forum Home » Technology Network Community » Community Feedback and Suggestions" in which you you are welcome to submit comments.

Oracle 11g FREE download installation issues

I am installing this database on an HP Pavilion Desktop
I essentially have TWO (2) issues.
1st ISSUE
I was able to successfully run the setup.exe and my Oracle 11g is now installed.
When I go to start, programs, Oracle, Application Development, SQL Plus
it opens a windown for SQL plus, however, I am not able to do anything.
I followed the install instructions about setting up the ODBC drivers, however I still
can not get this to work. Would also like to know how to set access to this up as a desktop icon.
2nd ISSUE
Acording to the README..for the Oracle Enterprise Edition, I was only required to download
V20610-01 Part 1 of 2
V20610-01 Part 2 of 2
V20609-01
V20606-01
V19145-01
The Oracle Fusion Middleware download V18762-01 they said was OPTIONAL (O)
Because I was having problems with the install where it was coming up with errors about
not finding files, I downloaded ALL the ones from the list which were for 64bit INCLUDING Orcale Fusion Middleware.
Only then did my install work properly.
What I need to know is, on a desktop where I will be the only user,
IS THE ORACLE FUSION MIDDLEWARE REQIRED?
If NOT, and I completed the install, what will happen if I delete that folder (size is 11G)?
Please advise!

Oracle 11.2 Database Installation - issues with prerequisite package glibc

Hi All,
I am busy installing Oracle 11g R2. One of the prerequisites for package 'glibc-2.3.4-2.41' is failing because our package version is 'glibc-2.3.4-2.25'.
Could I safely ignore this warning?
Thanks,
Kim.
Edited by: user10439059 on Oct 29, 2009 11:59 PM

download the 'glibc-2.3.4-2.41' rpm and apply it and then start installing..You should be really carful when replacing things like the glibc. If he has not the required version then me is
probably using a not certified operating system. All certified operating system already ship with the required versions.
I am not saying upgrading the glibc wont work... but you might end up with inconsistent system.

Oracle on Windows XP Installation Issues

I have lots of experience with Oracle on Unix/Solaris/HP etc. I just downloaded the Oracle 10g Developer for WIndows, unziped and installed. The Install did ask me about the listner but I can't find it running nor is the database running.
I read throught the quick install (as directed) but to no avail.
I am under short time contraint as I have been asked if Oracle can replace Access in an office application that the owner would like to take to market for property management.
I will have to learn Designer but I think it will be worth while if I could only get Oracle installed properly.
I can be reached at 888-846-3930

Hi i found ur blog very useful but i just m not understanding how to set the environment variable i.e
Optional Steps Before Installing
*1. You may want to remove or modify the following environment variables TNS_NAMES and ORACLE_HOME. Your machine may be configured for an earlier version of Oracle. This can be done by navigating to Start --> Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Environment Variables.*
In this case i do not hve any previous versions of Oracle so i did not find these variables .
Installing Oracle 10g
*1. Create an environment variable called ORACLE_HOSTNAME = mymachine.domain*
*2. Modify your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add an entry that matches the value of the ORACLE_HOSTNAME. For example, my host files looks like:*
*127.0.0.1 localhost*
*192.168.10.1 mymachine.mydomain.com mymachine*
Here i installed the Loopback Adapter exactly the way u mentioned and was useful but then what would be the value in my case mymachine.domain and should this be the value set in the mymachine.mydomain value .when i created the loopback adapter i used exactly the same ip that u mentioned along with the subnet mask and it worked for me .so will my ORACLE_HOSTNAME be = 192.168 ???
i still havent understood the SID value already exists error???pls explain in 2 parts

Oracle 9iAS Installation Issues, Win 2000

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to Install 9IAS on a WIN2000 PE.
I already have Oracle NT Personal Edition (download nt817personal), up and running.
My Question is do I need to use Oracle nt817ee (Enterprise Edition)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I agree with your 5 P's, but Oracle is killing themselves by not improving the installation issues. Oracle is in a fight to the death with Microsoft, and there are a lot of people who give up on Oracle products because the learning curve is too steep just to be able to login as Scott. I have a lot of experience with Windows and Oracle, and have installed the RDBMS on probably 50 separate machines in the last several years, yet I still cringe when I double click setup.exe since I never know if universal installer is going to abort. I'm not a Unix or Linux guru, and I tried and tried to get Oracle RDBMS 8i to install on several flavors of Red Hat, but I gave up. DB2 and Interbase both installed without the hassles. Take a look at the Linux forum on Technet, and look at the effort that some people are doing to try to get it to work. It should not be this hard. I would like to use Linux/Oracle on some of our servers, but frankly it is too hard currently. You shouldn't need a metal link account to install software on a clean install of Windows, or be a guru at writing device drivers for Linux to install Oracle on that platform.

Installation Problem Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on Windows 2000

When trying to install Personal Oracle 8.0.4 on a Windows 2000 machine, i get an Error:
"Unable to delete the NT Service for the SQL *Net V2 Listener".
No previous installation of Personal Oracle is present on this machine as it's a newly installed OS.
Any Help would be appreciated

I tried installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition in Windows 2000. The installer loads and it start installing the files, except when it goes half way through the installation, it quits. I don't know if this is a bug in 8i Personal Edition or not. Because I am unable to install the software on my machine.

Oracle user installation issue

I followed the instructions from
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/install.121/e17752/usr_grps.htm#BACGFIFJ
on my Solaris 11.1 VirtualBox box.
Since i used the Solaris 11.1 - Text install, i don't have a graphical interface (no X11)
i created an oracle user, as per the documentation instructions, using the command:
# /usr/sbin/useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper oracle
The instructions in the following section http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/install.121/e17752/usr_grps.htm#BABBHHAD
say i should modify the .bash_profile file (which i assume is in the user's home directory)
The problem is that the oracle user created using the earlier command has no home directory. Actually, after logging in as oracle, i get the following message:
No directory! Logging in with home=/
# grep oracle /etc/passwd
oracle:x:54321:54321::/export/home/oracle:/usr/bin/bash
but /export/home/oracle does not exist.
When i try to mkdir /home/oracle i get:
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/home/oracle"; Operation not applicable
Needless to say, i cannot follow the rest of the Installation guide since user oracle has no home.
I understand that this is mostly a Solaris admin question, but my issue is with the installation guide for not being clear about its assumptions, which is why i posted this here.
Edit:
some more output:

                           Assembled 19 September 2012
after some digging, i found that this is a known bug, included in Solaris 11.1's Release notes.
Funny thing, this bug is listed as "Previously Documented Bug, Fixed in Solaris 11.1
7070558 When the automount Service Is Disabled, useradd Creates Users With Inaccessible Home Directories

Finally found my answer in another document. Setting Up and Managing User Accounts by Using the CLI - Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris …
Apparently, with Solaris 11.1 one must use the -d and the -m switches when creating a new local user.
So the correct command to have issued is this:
/usr/sbin/useradd -u 54321 -g oinstall -G dba,oper -d localhost:/export/home/oracle -m oracle
Once the command was issued, the /export/home/oracle directory was created, (due to the -m switch), and because the user's home directory contains the hostname: part, this means that the /etc/auto_home file was updated.
Once i logged in into the oracle account, the /home/oracle directory was created by autofs.
The Oracle 12c documentation concerning the Solaris 11.1 OS should be updated to include the -d and -m switches.

Oracle BIEE installation issue: Application Server default OC4J name error

Hi all,
I am installing OBIEE 10.1.3.3.2 windows 32bit version on windows 2003 sp2. Before the installation I have installed the JDK 5 and Application Server 10.1.3.1.0(J2EE Server and Web Server) on the same server according to the pre-install section in the OBIEE installation guide.
When I install OBIEE (advanced installation), I got the error when I specify the Oracle Application server location:
Please specify a valid Oracle Application Server 10g installation location. A valid Oracle Application Server 10g installation must have the default OC4J instance named home and that home OC4J instance must be enabled.
When I install the Application Server 10.1.3.1.0, I have change the default OC4J name to "oc4j-soa", I think this is the root reason I got the error. I have tried to create another OC4J instance named "home", but failed coz the name is used for another directory.
Then can I have another way to continue the installation? Why OBIEE installer have this strange constrain while not any words about this issue in the installation guide (coz I follow the each steps in the guild before I take action)? I have search some threads and the only information is to install a simple installation, but it would create another application server..... and the simple installation type is not what I want.
Can anybody give me some hint or information about this issue? otherwise I have to purge and reinstall the server...... Thanks
Scott

Reinstalling the App Server and naming oc4j instance to be called "home" resolves the issue but this is an odd requirement. I have an OC4J instance already running and it is named something else. Is there any other alternative to make this work?
Swapan.
PS. I can always create a new oc4j instance named "home" but this is wasting of server resources.

Oracle PIM Sync installation issues

We have experienced the PIM Sync installation issue where the client couldn't detect Outlook. We have several work stations downloaded the file and only one station has installed it successfully. We even tried to use the file that worked on that station to install into the ones that didn't work. However, we got no luck. Some of us had "Cannot Connect to Oultook" and some of us had error code - 0x083200006. Does someone have the same issue? We submitted a SR to Oracle Customer Care but haven't heard anything from them yet. We are hoping this got resloved as soon as possible. thanks!

In reference to you PIM Sync issue you did the took the correct action by contacting CRM On Demand customer care and submitting a SR.
