There4s no version of Personal 8i for Windows ME. However, you can install this version in your system. Before you do this, modify your WIN.INI file, in section [Compatibility95], adding : Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]

Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
" Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
Any clue?

You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

Installing Designer 6 on NT With Oracle8 Personal Edition

According to the Designer 6 For Windows NT installation guide, I can have Personal Oracle 8.0.4 as a local database for use with Designer 6. However I am unable to successfully install these due to:
1. Designer and the Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the default_home directory.
2. The Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the same Oracle Home Directory as the local database - therefore Personal Oracle8 must reside in the default_home directory also.
3. Designer needs the 8.0.5 required support files whereas Oracle8 Personal Edition needs the 8.0.4 required support files to work.
Thus, is my problem. As I can not install both 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 support files into the same Oracle home, how can I get to use Designer 6 with a local 8.0.4 database on NT, as it suggests in the Designer installation guide?

These are the steps .
1. First Yout NT server must have Nt ver.4 with Service pack 5 built in
2.All Y have to do is to Installed Web App
Server on Different Physical location(With Oracle 8i) as different NT user with administrative privileges(Different from the user Y installed 8i RDBMS ).
3. Set TNS_ADMIN parameter for NT Server.
4.Set up the tnsname.ora and sqlnet.ora file
on web app home ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin ) as same as those on your Oracle DB HOme ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin )
After this if You follow the installation guide ,Post installation task ,
Every thing will work..
Good luck ..

Thanks. A couple of questions. Did you place the OAS in separate homes? If yes did you set enviromental variablesin System and user. Last Did you have to set the IP address in the winnt\system32\drivers\host.
Still have not got it working. It seems to have installed. The node Listners is running. It could be a problem with my browser setup. Any ideas.

Connecting to Oracle8 Personal Edition from Java

Hi,
I have Oracle8 Personal Edition installed on my system. I would like to connect to it using the java test program that comes with Oracle called Employee.java. Whenever I run the program (on the same machine as the database), I get an error message saying "Connection Refused". I am connecting to Oracle running locally using:
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl",
"scott", "tiger");
Does anybody know what is wrong?

The problem is fixed. It did not work because I did not have a TNS listener running. Now it works fine.

Oracle 8.1.5 Personal Edition
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.5 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.

De-installing Oracle personal edition

I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on a D: drive of an NT 4.0 machine. As it turned out, I really needed to install it on C:. So, I attempted to de-install it from D:. When done with the de-installation using the Universal Installer (and it told me that all the products were removed), I rebooted and proceeded to install on the C: drive. The installer told me that there still was an instance on the D: drive. I attempted to remove all Oracle-related keys from the registry, with no success. There are two services still on the system (listener and the one for the instance). How do I cleanly delete all traces of the previous install?

first you had to stop all oracle stuff of services then you have to de-install the things. Oracle has one disadvantage is if you remove all stuff from regedit then also it'll give some problem for installation.
So better you install o.s. again do the installation it'll work prefectly.
cheers then.

Problems installing Oracle8i on Win XP

Hi,
Anyone knows what to check for problems installing Oracle8i on WindowsXP?
I would appreciate getting a check list so that I or anyone reading the list can understand clearly run through all the steps required in sourcing the problem.
I am writing for a friend so I can't actually state what he is experiencing; only that the WinXP may have been an upgrade installation and not a clean installation. Could that cause problems. The Oracle8i installed and worked fine on the previous system.
I Would really appreciate hel asap. Thanks in advance.
Linda

Lida,
first of all verify the version of Oracle is certified with the version of the Operating System.
then do the following steps to install :
Start the Installer and Install the Oracle Software:
-Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive
-If autorun is configured, the installer will start automatically
-To manually start the installer, double-click on cd:\setup.exe
-From the welcome screen, select NEXT
-From the File Location screen, select NEXT
-Select "Enterprise Edition" for the Install Category.
-Select Typical to install the software, create a database and start
the database (Other selections are available for minimal or custom installs).
-Follow on screen prompts
-The install will begin.
-When completed, the install will have created a default database,configured a listener, and started both for you.
-When the installer completes, you should have a working database running along with the listener.
-Should the installer fail, note the error given. Check nstallActions.log in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
Oracle 8i does not have any installation problem with XP.
hope this will help you.

Installing 8i Personal Edition

I am installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition
on windows 98 and I ran into a problem.
I couldn't install the Database Configuration Asistant. The log reads:
Documents\Downloads\Oracle8i\starterdb is an invalid command line argument
So it is looking in Documents instead of MyDocuments. How do I tell it to look in MyDocuments?

The problem is that Personal 8i isn4t compatible with Windows ME. But don4t worry. There4s a solution. Before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, in the section [Compatibility95], adding Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it again. Good luck.

I am attempting to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on a PC with Windows ME, 192MB RAM, and 15GB of HD space.

I keep getting an error message telling me to check the path. I have tried changing it with no success. I leave the "source" directory as-is by default.
Does the Oracle Home need to be installed on the same drive that the OS directory is located on (C:\)? What am I doing wrong? Are there any pre-installation steps?

Problem With Oracle Personal Edition On Windows XP

I am trying to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on Windows XP Professional, Installation was successful. But when I try to login through SQL plus it says "ORACLE not available" User Id I used is Scott/Tiger and System Manager.
Even I checked the services started but some of the Oracle services are still in "starting" staus
Can any one help me in this?

Those 'starting' services must switch to 'started' before things will start to happen.
What are the machine specs? Hopefully you have a decent CPU speed (>500MHz) and amount opf memory (>512M RAM) or things can be unsufferably slow.
Is there a particularily good reason for using Oracle8i? After all, it is an unsupported and obsolete version of the database.
