Problem after installing OracleAS portal on DHCP machine.

Hi
I'm currently running Windows Server 2003 R2 on VmWare, and have installed OracleAS portal on a DHCP machine. However it has been causing me problems, and I realized I have overlooked the system requirements (Section 4.2) by not installing a loopback adaptor prior to the installation.
Now, my portal server goes down whenever the IP addresses changes and I'm at a loss on what to do. I have installed my portal on the following IP config details:
IP address: 10.0.1.105
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1
However the recommendations (on the documentation Section 4.8.6.3) were for me to use the following IP config details:
IP address: 10.10.10.10 (or 192.168.x.x) [x is any value between 1 and 255]
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Thus even if I have followed the instructions on Section 4.8.6.3 (after I have installed the portal) - The server won't be running because the host is still on 10.0.1.105. What happened after my IP changed was error pages that ranges from:
- 505 Server Down
- The connection timed-out
This my first time installing an Oracle Product, and I'm new to networks so I would really appreciate any help and advice on this problem I'm facing. I'm not sure what other details that I need to give for you to effectively help me solve this problem. Please help.
Thanks!!

The 2gb partition i talked about it's the one given by using INTERNET RECOVERY, so, it seems that i do not have any recovery partition in my mac, so, problem resumes to restoring system by the last copy in time machine which is not showing in internet recovery, but it does shows in my user account.
Thanks for help!

You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
First look for this link then drill into it:
Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
In this section you will find the following:
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 4 of 4)
This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6. This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01
There are no patch sets for Release 2 as of yet.

Hi,
i've got similar problem but my asm is not just down. After installing grid home with infrastructure I've restarted os and there is no crs services and the only result from this command:

$GRID_HOME/root.shthis gave me working asm instance but after restart I'm in base position with no crs services.
And... I've tried to startup crs after restart with no luck but before restart I can shutdown everything and startup ASM instance too (so everything is fine till the reboot). I'm on CentOS 6:

I met problem when installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Turbo Linux 7.0

I met problem when installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Turbo Linux 7.0.
After setting up environment variables, and successfully
accessed KDE interface, everything was going on well.
The process of installation blocked at 80% in "Database Creation
Process" dialog window.
I have tried two times and got the same result.
The error message is:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Kochi Gothic-medium-r-normal-
*-*100...
Help!

I have done some oracle installations over RedHat 7.0 (not certificated):
Let's check some things:
1- You must have changed very few parameters on your shm.h sem.h files which are in /usr/include/linux directory.
2- You need to upgrade the glibc and libstdc libraries (.rpm)
3- You must have installed the jre116_v5 on /usr/jre and made a symbolic link like this
ln -s /usr/jre/jre116_v5 /usr/local/jre
4- You must include in the CLASSPATH parameter the jre116_v5 directory. It should look something like this
CLASSPATH=/usr/jre/jre116_v5:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib
5- Be sure to create and export all the parameters in your .bash_profile.
6- Run the ./runInstaller.sh in a terminal window inside the Xwindow.
You can find the jre116_v5 in www.backdown.org
I hope these tips help you

URGENT HELP- Can't install Oracle Portal on Windows 2000

I am trying to install Oracle Portal as part of installation of Oracle 9iAS v1.0.2.2.2a on Windows 2000 and I get this message from the OPCA Installation Log:

I am using an Oracle 8i database for the installation on the same machine. Can anyone help please?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Rohini.
The SYS password is change_on_install and SYSTEM password is manager. It still causes the same problem. The database I am using is an Oracle 8i database which is automatically created while installing Oracle 9iAS.
I also tried to install Oracle Portal on an Oracle 9i Database on the same machine and this comes out with a different error. It tells me the SHARED_POOL_SIZE is less than 31457280 whereas as I checked through SQL*Plus its actually much more than that!
Can you please help?
Thanks,

Trouble Installing Oracle Portal

Hi all,
I am using the "launch.sh" file to install Oracle Portal after we deinstalled it yesterday.
The thing is the progress bar finished really fast and I got a message that says "The Oracle Portal schema user was not created."
I checked into the install.log file and see most of the error messages to be "Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found Error 6 ininitializing SQL*PLUS"
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is also a patch 1507768 for this problem. Hopefully you have access to Metalink where you can download this patch. Also on Metalink refer to doc. id. 131299.1 which details this problem and the workarounds.

Problems after installing Windows 7 Professional on Thinkpad T61

I have an old T61 that had Windows Vista installed. I wanted to use Windows 7 but didn't want to wipe out what I already had (for various reasons). So I bought a new disk drive and did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional. The disk drive is a Western Digital Blue Notebook 1TB drive. After installing the drive in the machine, I followed these instructions to install Windows 7: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-74108. I chose to partition the drive into a C: drive (500GB) and a D: drive (431GB). After the install completed, I downloaded all the available Microsoft fixes (this took some time to complete).
For the Device Driver and Application install, I used the ThinkVantage System Update option. The site indicated that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1 or later was required. I downloaded and installed version 4. There were additional Microsoft fixes for version 4, which I downloaded and installed also. Then I downloaded and installed ThinkVantage System Update 5.03. I then executed System Update and selected all the available updates. They all installed, except for Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. This update, after failing, gave the option to install manually but when I click on that option I receive a pop up saying: Installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247. The title of the pop up says Windows Update Standalone Installer.
I then attempted to install various applications on the machine: FileZilla FTP Client, Google Chrome, Notepad++, PrimoPDF were all installed without problems. When I installed a Cisco VPN Client for 64 bit machines, however, I was knocked off the network. Clicking on the WiFi symbol in the task bar showed that I had only limited connectivity to the network. I tried to do a IPCONFIG /ALL and neither the WiFi adapter nor the Ethernet LAN adapter showed up in the list. I uninstalled the VPN Client, from the Control Panel, and was immediately able to connect to the network. An IPCONFIG /ALL now showed all the network adapters. I installed/uninstalled the VPN Client several times just to make sure that it was causing the problem of no network connectivity.
I fgured that there might be updated network adapter drivers available to resolve the problem so I attempted both System Update and Windows Update again. System Update showed nothing available, except Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. Windows Update had a message saying "Check for updates for your computer" but when I clicked on "Check for updates" it popped up a message saying "Windows Update cannot check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your machine." I checked and the Windows Update service is running. I stopped and restarted it but received the same message when I tried to check for updates again. I rebooted the machine and tried Windows Update again. Same pop up message.
I tried the "Fix problems with Windows Update" option in the Control Panel but received a message saying - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting. The error details say:
Package ID: WindowsUpdateDiagnostic
Path: Unknown
Error Code: 0x8E5E0247
Source: Engine
I tried some of the other troubleshooting options and they all give similar errors - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
I then thought it might be a disk drive problem so I tried to do a CHKDSK /F but when the machine reboots the CHKDSK seems to start (there is a message that says it can be interrupted by pressing a key within 10 seconds) then, before the 10 seconds are up, it ends without checking the disk and the machine continues to boot up.
Has anyone seen any of these problems before? Did I miss something? Could this be related to the disk drive? Or missing device drivers? Bios?
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A laptop drive that size is almost certainly an AF drive. You can check by looking up the model's specs on the vendor's site. You can also use the fsutil command to check the drive's physical sector size and verify that the size isn't getting reported correctly - which is what usually causes the update problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018
Expand the "Issue 6 Fsutil.exe tool" entry in that link for more info. The entire KB may also be helpful.
If my guess is actually the problem you won't have to reinstall Windows 7. Just update - or roll back - the driver. You might first try going to Device Manager, selecting the storage controller, and rolling back to an earlier driver.
If that works, configure ThinkVantage System Update to not show the offending driver, or this will happen again. If that doesn't do the job, go to Intel's site and find the latest Matrix Storage Manager or Rapid Storage Technology that is specified for your chipset and operating system. Or just try the latest and if that doesn't work, try earlier ones.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductL...
Here's a local KB addressing this (presumed) issue: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Windows-Update-Fails-After-Installing-New-Hard-...
To repeat, this is a bit of a guess. It's pretty likely that your storage driver is the culprit. Either you need one new enough to support the physical size reporting ioctl, or you've been bitten by TVSU "updating" to a buggy driver. Either way the corrrect driver should fix things.

Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.
When i try to install forms and reports server the configuration step fails while creating weblogic domain.
Please help me installing portal and reports.
Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
Thanks.

You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:
Steps to Maintain Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) (Doc ID 1073776.1)

Tomcat seems couldn't run after installing Oracle 8.0.6

After installing Oracle 8.0.6, my Tomcat seems couldn't startup. I have set the environment variable for JDBC and Oracle driver like: Classpath = .;c:\orant\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip and path = c:\jdk1.3\bin;c:\orant\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip. However, before installing Oracle, Tomcat was running smoothly. Is installing Oracle make mess between Tomcat and Oracle? Or, is the environment variables are set incorrectly? Please help me to solve the problem. and how to make database connection to Oracle using JSP(Tomcat). Your advice is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Add a reference to the oracle driver zip file (classes12.zip) to the classpath in the batch file that runs tomcat (i.e. tomcat.bat).
Then, the architectural decision is all yours. You can define a database access layer...
I'd look in to the model 2 architecture if you want to learn how to do this. There are loads of references, none of which I have to hand, but try searching the JDC, there's bound to be plenty.
On the other hand, if you want a quick and dirty solution, then model 1 is the way to go.
Cheers,
KJ

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

After installing Mountain Lion, my Time Machine won't back up ... says the sparsebundle is in use

Standard problem in ML.. apple do not seem to want to recognise.
Reboot the TC .. if that fails restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router/TC... clients.. with 2min gap.
There are other suggestions like changing the password.. all they do is the same as reboot.
Read C12.. most quoted Q in pondini website history. This is asked 10 times a day.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Here is another way to get a useful utility in ML.. rather than toyland version.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
