Problems installing Oracle8i

Hi,
I cannot start die Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) on my Linux Distribution RedHat 7.0.
When I start ./runInstaller I get the error message:
Ung|ltige Adresse (invalid address)
Is there perhaps an error on my Linux system ?
Please help ! Thanks !
Heinz

Please tell in detail about installation steps.
Well I recently installed Oracle 8i Enterprise Edtion and there was no problem.
I installed the Enterprise Edition with pretuned Database in 1 hour apporax.
Well I just clicked the setup.bat and the Oracle Universal Installer ( The Geni)
started working.

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.

Bonjour,
Can you please reset your permissions for your oracle environment with unison user to include:
ORACLE_HOME= your oracle home (for midtier)
This should resolved the problem.
If not, please create a new itar from Metalink.

Problem Installing Oracle8i on Linux

Hello..
When i try to install Oracle 8i in my RedHat Linux 6.1 , i am getting an error
Error in CreateOUIProcess():-1
: Bad Address.
at the start itself..
Any one knows what is problem??
null

This is a known problem.
Firstly, make sure that you're running the right version of the JVM. I
don't know what Oracle do with their software, but it's very dependent
on the version you use.
Secondly, it might help if, instead of running runInstaller from the
root of the CD, you move into install/linux and run the runInst.sh
shell script instead.
This problem seems more common on RedHat 6.1 than 6.0 and could be
something to do with a newer C library.
I've also heard reports that if you have the wrong version of Gnome
you might get this problem. Upgrade or switch to another environment
such as KDE or Fvwm2.
Hope this help you!

This is my work-around for RH 7. This John Smiley's step-by-step description which is posted elsewhere on this forum. It is better put than my original post:
Here is a step-by-step process for getting Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2 (don't bother with 8.1.5 if you can help it):
1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files (for me it's /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib).
3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
For me, several of these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
For example, if ls -l shows:
ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.3.so
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so -> libdl.so.2
libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0
Then you will:
cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so
4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following contents (as a single line):
GROUP ( <OH>/lib/libc-2.1.3.so <OH>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <CL>/libc_nonshared.a )
Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for <OH> and the location of the compat-glibc directory for <CL>. For example:
My $ORACLE_HOME is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and my compat-glibc directory is:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
This is all one line.
5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
relink all
All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine now.

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.

Installed Oracle8i problem

Dear Friends,
I installed Oracle8 in Windows95 before and had no
problem.
However, recently I tried a few times to install
Oracle8i in Windows2000(Professional), it always pop
up a message box by saying "Invalid staging area.
There are no top level components for WindowsNT
available for install from this staging area."
The Oracle8i CD shows that it's for Win95/98/NT but doesn't mention about Windows2000.
What components my computer needs? How to solve this problem, what should I do?
Thanks.

I installed 816 EE on my home NT40 workstation without any troubles. Please make sure that you've suttisfied all installation requirements as written in the Installation Guide.Install other version of Servis Pack. I am usinn SP6. Alo you can try to copy a sample database from cd without creating it
Yours.

I tried to manually install Oracle8.1.7 on Win2K, successfully created an instance and attempted to create a new database using command CREATE DATABASE, the newly creately database can be connected by INTERNAL. But I failed in running catproc.sql under SVRMGR, the main error messages are like 'DBMS_STANDARD package must be created before using SQL*Plus', and 'package STANDARD not accessible'.....could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
great appreciation

by the way, i used command ORADIM -NEW -SID xxx -INTPWD xxx to create the new instance
and i did not use oracle assistant to create the new database, instead, I used command CREATE DATABASE xxx LOGFILE xxx CONTROLFILE xxxx.....
also i did set the ORACLE_SID to new SID.....

Installing oracle8i in RH9 problem

before installing oracle8i in redhat9 i have installed required packages.but
one package (compat-db-3.3.11-4) was not installed it's asking to install dependency package(libtcl8.3.so).this package was not found in redhat9 cd's.
Is it must to install this package to install oracle8i.if yes please give me the link were i can download that package.
and also send me the link for jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 to download .it is also compulsory to install oracle8i in Rh9.

Have you seen apt-get to install packages?
Better yet the apt-get GUI version: Synaptic ?
Example apt-get install.
root$ apt-get install synaptic
Synaptic will resolve compatibility issues with packages it can provide! You just may never use the install CD again :)
As for the blackdown link and any other questions you may have, may I refer you to my very own 817 on RedHat 9 Install Guide. http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Comments Welcome :)

Problems Installing Oracle 9i Client

This was posted by someone else sometime ago. I'm posting it again for your reference. hope this helps.

You must read carefully the following steps here. If you previously installed any Oracle's products on your machine, I strongly recommend you to clean up thoroughly before install the new products.
================================================================
Uninstallation
The easiest way to remove ALL traces of Oracle software, for an 8i installation, is:
(1) Using regedit, remove the key \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
(2) Remove all the Oracle services (usually called Ora-something) from \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
(3) Go to the ORACLE_HOME directory (usually C:\Oracle\Ora81). Go to the BIN directory beneath this. Rename the file OCIW32.DLL to something like OCIW32.OLD.
(4) Reboot your box.
(5) Once you have logged on again, delete the directories C:\Program Files\Oracle and C:\Oracle.
(6) Right-click on My Computer, select Properties->Environment. Edit the environmental variable PATH to remove all refernces to files in the two directories you have just deleted.
(7) Remove the Oracle folders from your Start menu.
*** Obviously, using regedit on your machine always entails risks, and I won't be held responsible if you end up trashing your system. However, the above procedure is one I have used many times with complete success. You have been warned! ;) ***
As to logging on, the "standard" Oracle accounts are:
SYS/change_on_install (SYSDBA - database owner)
SYSTEM/manager (Owns various VIEWs and utility PACKAGEs)
and (optionally):
SCOTT/tiger (Training account containing some sample tables)
If you're using PO8i on the local machine, you shouldn't need to worry about setting up NET*8 (Oracle's networking protocols)
=================================================================
Windows 95 and 98
This will remove all Oracle products, Oracle services, and Oracle registry entries from your computer.
Complete the following steps to create a Clean Machine. Backup any relevant databases before proceeding!
On Windows 95 and Windows 98:
1. Ensure you shutdown your Oracle. Right click on the Oracle Icon in the toolbar and click on the shutdown option.
2. Un-install all your Oracle products if possible. Use universal installer to do that. Ignore this step if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
4. Delete the ORACLE key.
5. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path setting.
6. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle directory (Oracle Base).
7. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
8. Delete Icons from <system_drive>: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
9. Reboot your computer.
On Windows NT:
1. Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Stop all Oracle Services through Control Panel Services. Use universal installer to un-install your Oracle products. Ignore un-install if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. Using regedit (at the command prompt, type regedit), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and delete the ORACLE key.
4. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services that begin with ORACLE.
5. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application that begin with ORACLE.
6. Close regedit.
7. From the Control Panel, open System.
8. If JRE was installed by Oracle, remove the %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN path and the JRE path. For example, you may see a path similar to this one: C:\ORACLE\ORAxx\BIN;G: \Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin. Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Environment tab. Click on the system variable path and modify the path.
9. Delete Icons from <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
10. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
11. Reboot your computer.
12. Delete all ORACLE_BASE directories (You can find the Oracle homes listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ORACLE_HOMES).

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for
JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 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.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.
================================================================
PLEASE NOTE THAT ORACLE DOESN'T SUPPORT THE USE OF THOSE PRODUCTS IN WINDOWS ME, BUT HAVE AUTHORIZED THESE WORKAROUNDS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY

: Hi David,
: Try running the shell script runIns.sh from the Oracle
: installation directory. The file is under the /install/linux/
