WebDB installation

I have installed Oracle 8i and WebDB on Win2k and I get the following error.
When installing WebDB, if I use the proper host name given to me by my ISP, I get the following:
The test did not succeed.
ORA-12224: TNS:no listener
There may be an error in the fields entered
or the server may not be ready for a connection.
You can check the server and retry, or continue
I have checked and both the Oracle and WebDB listeners are running.
If I type my computer name into the host name field, the test is successful but I cannot get into WebDB to configure it.
Could you please help me? It is somewhat urgent, I have to have the schema running this week.
Thank you.

If you're installing version 2.0.5 (which doesn't have a databse connect string - like 2.1) then you need to add the LOCAL parameter to the registry under [HKEY LOCAL MACHINE]\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Add it as a string value and set it as the name you gave your database in your NET80 tnsnames.ora e.g. yourdb.world
Hope this helps

Hello,
I'm trying to install webdb on a debian box running potato and
Oracle 8i. I tried running orainst, but webdb wouldnt accpet SYS
password. I dont even see it connect to 8i's listner. What might
be wrong? Is there a tnsnames setup involved? If so exectly do I
need to do? (I've tried looking for HOWTO's on this), it seems
like a number of people are having the same problem I've been

I have sucessfully loaded webdb on linux mandrake 6.0 running
oracle 8.05. In the install just accept the default oracle_base
and oracle_home directories. The installer created a webdb
directory under the product directory. You should also create
your temp and user tablespaces before installing webdb. Webdb
will create its own but you will have no control over placement
of size.

WebDB Installation problem

I am attempting to install WebDB on my
laptop. I just installed Oracle 8i (v. 8.1.5) on the same machine which has Windows NT 4.0 Workstation OS. When I run the WebDB install (v.2.0.5 for NT), the
first thing it asks me in the Oracle Installation Settings window is the Oracle home, which I specify as 'DEFAULT_HOME' which is the home I set up for the 8i installation. For location, I provide the location of 'D:\Oracle\Ora81' which is where it was set up. Language is English of
course. I get a 'General Information' message that says:
"The location specified, "D:\Oracle\Ora81' is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle 815 Production'. It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'."
I click on OK, and I am taken back to the Oracle Installation Settings, and I am not able to get past this.
Also, not knowing what I was doing, I thought I would specify a new Oracle home and I typed in the name: 'WEBDB_HOME' and location: 'D:\WEBDB' and clicked OK. It prompts me to choose between Typical
install and Custom Install. I choose Typical.. and say OK. It asks me
for the SYS password, and I type it in (change_on_install) without changing host name (my computer name) or port# (80) info, and click OK. I get an error:
"PL/SQL Web Toolkit does not support multiple installations, and therefore cannot be installed on 'WEBDB_HOME'. It can only be installed on 'DEFAULT_HOME'. In order to install PL/SQL Web Toolkit, please run
the Installer again, and select 'DEFAULT_HOME as the target location."
But I already tried that! I say OK and the installation software closes.
Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem? I have tried both
approaches and dont seem to be getting anywhere.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks

I've experienced a similar problem when installing against Windows NT, which I solved by explicitly set ORACLE_SID from an MS-DOS prompt, and then running the installer from there. I don't know if this info is of any use - sorry if it isn't.

Please HELP me!, NT WebDB installation problem

Hi!
I have been trying to install web db, I have not been able to do
it because of the following problem.
When i get to the "Oracle Installation Settings", Name drop-down
list contains only "EM_V20" (Enterprise Manager)(and the
location points to the location of enterprise manager
(D:\EM_V20)). So, I cannot select any database to install Web
db. And when I continue regardless of what i got, it asks for
the sys password ( I don't know which database it is asking for,
anyway I changed all the database sys passwords to a unique
password say xxx), and I submit xxx, but it did not accept ( Not
a surprise), And it corrupted my enterprise manager also.
So, How can I install web db to my database say "sample" or how
I can choose my database.. (In your Oracle web db installation
handbook, it says choose DEFAULT_HOME, but I got only EM_V20).
Please help me...
Thank you..

Hi Murat:
I think you need to install Oracle 7 or 8 before you install
webdb. Using CHANGE_ON_INSTALL as a password for SYS.
Good luck

About WebDB Installation...

Hi,
I try to install Oracle WebDB 2.2 on Windows 2000 Professional base on Oracle Enterprise Database 8.1.7 in the same PC. And my TNSListener's port is 1521.
I finished all prerequisites the whitepaper provided on Database then process installation. After choosing "Typical Installation" and specify the Host, DAD, ListenerPort, SYS's passwd, and existing TNS Name, the message shows that data I input is incorrect.
I can make sure all data is correct. I can make a successful connection by sqlplus via the same connecting information. And the WebDB Listener's Port(2000) I set is different from TNSListener's Port(1521)!
Any one can help me?
Thank in advance...
Regards,
Eric

Eric,
Unfortunately, you've got the wrong discussion group. For WebDB issues, try the Oracle Portal forum.

Webdb 2.2 installation

i finished the webdb installation without any problems. but when i try to access the webdb home page i get a message saying "Verify that the TNS name in the connect string of DAD for this URL is valid"
when i went to the admin/listner.htm page, i found the connect string is %wwvcs%. when i try to change it to my connect string that i setup it says the changes cannot be made. what is the problem? please help
Thanks

Remember that you must have your database running and your listener started. Also you must have TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointing to tnsnames.ora.
I have some problems with Webdb installation too. For example:
Documentation says that we must install webdb
in a new ORACLE HOME. OK. If you install the product in other ORACLE HOME, installer can not see several files like passwd.sql and others.
If you install the product in the database's ORACLE HOME, Webdb for Linux RUNS! but your sqlplus not (core dumped).
?Which are the steps for installing webdb in
other ORACLE HOME?
Bye.

Problems of installation with Oracle WebDB

Srs:
When i am installing Oracle WebDB, in the part when insert the SYS user password and TNS names Alias; i introduce for example: Sys password: bird and TNS names alias: webdb, but when clic OK, the program say that the SYS user password or TNS names alias is incorrect, but both sys and tns names is correct(in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, i define my TNS names alias called webdb)
Please help me...
P.D. I am running WebDB installation in character mode.

I just faced the same trouble. I'm installing
WebDB 2.2 on a Solaris 7 server with oracle8i
installed already. What puzzled me most is
that you must input a different/new ORACLE_HOME
while installing. You know, we have original
ORACLE_HOME for oracle8i. So WHICH ORACLE_HOME on earth it points to in the whole WebDB Installation Guide?
This question is very important because we
have two tnsnames.ora in both oracle home.
Please give me your advice.
Thanks a lot.

I've managed to install WebDB, but it doesn't work perfectly yet,
I still have to find out the problem. Here's how I did :
Go to the support directory, and read the file maninst.htm (for a
manual install). I followed the instructions, and all has worked
well, except for the command to launch the web listener, that is
'wdblsnr host port start
The only problem left now is that once logged in to the webdb, I
can't log out, even if I restart the whole database. When I'll
have found the problem (maybe by destroying/recreating the
database and repopulating it with the WebDB sql files), I'll let
you know, but if someone has an answer, well, let me know ;)

WebDB 2.2/RedHat 6.1. For God's sake why doesn't Oracle release some documentation??

Someone please tell me how to get past the
"Enter your Oracle database SYS user password and a TNS names alias" page. My password doesn't show up as ****'s or spaces. Do I have termcap problem here? I've tried different term types and none of the obvious ones help.
I enter change_on_install for the password and "oracle" (my SID) for the TNSNAMES alias. But I always get a "You entered an incorrect system password or an incorrect TNS names alias" error message. Which is it? Why doesn't it just say "Oracle doesn't work". Or "What you entered doesn't compute". Or "You f%$^ing dumb ass, don't you f$%^ing know anything about Oracle, you should have entered something else". These messages are equally as useful as the current response. Do I need to create a new TNS names alias? If so why? And where is the documentation on this?
I'm guessing that because Oracle released Webdb on Linux it does actually work and that someone, somewhere got it to work. Otherwise Oracle is no better than Microsucks in their support effort ("Well it works on my system, you must be doing something wrong").
Thanks for any help. I'd really like to use WebDB but if I have to spend any more than 2 days just to get it installed I might as well revert to Winblows NT and self installing, self configuring ZIP files or jump of the Brooklyn bridge and I'd rather do the later.
Bren.

I am a Product Manager for WebDB and I am concerned that you are having such a problematic experience.
Below I have pasted an installation note that is available on MetaLink, this should walk you through the process.
The reason your TNS connection is failing is because WebDB does not know where to connect to. WebDB uses 8.0.5 binaries and therefore cannot use the tnsnames.ora file in the 8i Oracle home. To get it to work you need to do one of two things, either copy the tnsnames.ora file from your 8i home to the new WebDB home you're about to create. Or create yourself an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that points to [8i home/network/admin]
Don't worry about not seeing asterisks as we don't display any, this is a 'feature' of the character based installer that we use.
With WebDB 3.0 we will not have this problem as we are using 8i binaries and libraries and we will install using the Oracle Universal Installer, not a character mode one.
Hope this helps.
PURPOSE
This document provides detailed installation notes for WebDB 2.2.0.0.4. It is
focused on installing WebDB for an 8.1.5 (8i) database. Since WebDB is based
off of the 8.0.5 binary and library files, it must be installed in a separate
ORACLE_HOME than 8.1.5.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This document is intended to guide you through every step of the WebDB
installation process against 8i to prevent the most common issues.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Create a new directory for the new WebDB ORACLE_HOME separate from the 8.1.5
database ORACLE_HOME.
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
You must ensure that all of the appropriate environment variables are set before
beginning the installation process. Unset any existing ORACLE environment
settings and only set the following:
ORACLE_HOME-->point this to the WebDB home
i.e. setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
SHLIB_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv SHLIB_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
LIBPATH (for AIX ONLY)-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
PATH-->append the following $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin/:$PATH
TNS_ADMIN-->point this to the database home/network/admin directory.
i.e. setenv TNS_ADMIN /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin
WV_GATEWAY_CFG-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app where
$ORACLE_HOME is the WebDB home
i.e. setenv WV_GATEWAY_CFG $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app
BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
From the unix prompt, cd to the staging area for your WebDB Media and go to the
orainst director.
i.e. cd /SD_CDROM/orainst/
Run the orainst for the Oracle Installer to begin.
i.e. ./orainst
1.)'Oracle WebDB 2.1 Installation Requirements' Select OK.
2.)'Environment Variable'
ORACLE_BASE - this should be set already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/
ORACLE_HOME - this should be set to the WeBDB home already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
Select OK.
3.)'Relink All Executables?' Select NO.
4.)'Software Asset Manager' - select Oracle WebDB 2.2.0.0.4 and Oracle WebDB
Listener 2.2.0.0.4. Select INSTALL.
5.)'WebDB Listener'
Hostname --> provide the fully qualified host.domain as registered with DNS
i.e. iprodhp2.us.oracle.com
Data Access --> You can name your database access descriptor anything you
would like but it is best if you take the default which is 'WebDB'
WebDB Schema --> This is the schema that all WebDB packages will be installed
under. It is recommended that you again take the default which is 'WEBDB'
Listener Port -- > Ensure that you choose a port that is not already in use.
Port 80 is the default http port. This port number can always be changed
later when you start the WebDB listener.
Select OK.
6.)'Choose the Database' - Select Oracle 8i and Select OK.
7.)Please provide the appropriate sys password and the TNSNAMES alias used to
connect to the 8.1.5 database.
8.)'WEBDB' --> Select the tablespaces you would like to install into.
Installation = WEBDB
Default = <USERS>
Temporary = <TEMP>
Document = <USERS>
Select OK.
9.)WebDB initial password is webdb --> Select OK.
10.)'Choose Language' --> English is automatically installed but you may choose
any additional languages. Select OK.
11.)Installation of the WebDB schema may take a while. You may think your
installer is hanging but in fact it is just installing a lot of information.
Depending on your machine's resources, the average time to complete this
task is usually around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
12.)'WebDB Install Complete' --> Select OK.
13.)It will then install support files.
14.)'WebDB Listener Successfull' Select OK.
15.)Exit Software Asset Manager
Go to the unix prompt to start the listener:
wdbstart host.domain port&WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you would like the listener to start on
i.e. wdbstart iprodhp2.us.oracle.com 22004&
CONFIGURING THE LISTENER
Go the following URL: http://host.domain:port/admin_/gateway.htm
WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/admin_/gateway.htm
Verify that your connect string is correct on the gateway.htm page. This should
be the alias registered in your TNSNAMES.ORA file. Then click Apply. It is
not neccessary to restart the listener after you make the change.
ACCESSING THE WEBDB HOME PAGE
Go to the following URL: http://host.domain:port/
HERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/

WebDB Install Error - RH6.2 Oracle8i

The WebDB installer, right after asking me my sys password and SID, trys to connect via SQLPlus and the following error displays and stops the install:
ora40.vrf(93): OS_ERROR while spawning sqlplus -s /nolog @passwd.sql sys/<password>@bcgmain.bigstickgolf.com. (No such file or directory).
Of course <password> has my actual password. The file 'passwd.sql' is located at $WEBDB_HOME/orainst. If I change to that directory and try to run the exact line it connects to SQLPlus without a problem so it seems to me it is nothing more than a path problem. I tried appending that directory to the end of my PATH statement and re-ran the install but it didn't help. It's probably something stupid that's staring me right in the face but right now I can't see it.
BTW, according to the 'not-so-helpful' install instructions, I have TNS-ADMIN set to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and it is verified. ORACLE_HOME is set correctly (Oracle starts, stops and runs like a champ).
I need to be bailed out here people. I've read every article, crawled every board and bled on every book. I'm stuck.
Thanks,
Mike

I discovered that on the other to RH6.2 boxes where Oracle is running glibc-2.1.3-15 and the machine that is causing the install issues is running glibc-2.1.3-21.
Do you think there might be a connection?

WebDB Install Problem...

Sorry, I couldn't find a product discussion board for WebDB, so I've used this one...
After installing the 8i Enterprise Edition server from the OTN CD, I have repeatedly attempted to install WebDB. When prompted for my SYS password, I enter the password that works just fine for all other SYS access to 8i (In fact, I'm connected to the 8i database via SQL*Plus while the WebDB install is running...) and the WebDB installer says I've entered the wrong password.
What do I need to do to get a simple installation of this stuff to work?

When WebDB is installing, it uses the SQL*Net entries in it's tnsnames.ora
Make sure you have an entry in the [WebDB Home]\network\admin\tnsnames.ora that points to your database

WebDB stuck on task 1 of 12

Finally got past (what i think is) the bulk of the WebDB
installer bugs and got all the way to the "Started WebDB
Load..." but the installer sits on task 1 of 12 and doesn't
budge. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this and
even better, how to fix it?
Box is Redhat 6 with EE 8.0.5.1.0 running fine. I also got the
cgi webdb script to work with the built-in Apache server but it
comes up with "ORA-06564: object webdb.home does not exist
ORA-06512: at line 51" I'm assuming this is due to the 12 tasks
that never get completed during the install...
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Below is a script that you can use to create the WebDB objects in
your database. It does EXACTLY the same what orainst of webdb
usually does for you, and it WORKS. The advantage here is that
you have more control - a lot more control - compared to running
orainst and hoping for the best.
Damn, I'm giving you guys all my hard earned know-how.... ok,
that stuff is easy, no reason to be proud of it. I took it from
the orainst-files when I debugged teh webdb-installation process
and created that script from the information. I've used it a lot
since to create the webdb objects on an otherwise 'naked'
database. You need to have ORACLE_HOME set, and ORACLE_SID, of
course.
I DO hope you have created a big enough database?! The good old
8.0.5.x demo database is too small!
Attention: if using this with another database than 8i you must
probably change the file locations. On 8i, WebDB is installed
completely under $ORACLE_HOME/webdb/, while this is different
when WebDB is installed on 8.0.5. That is because Oracle didn't
want to mix old (glibc-2.0) WebDB libraries and binaries and new
8i libs and binaries.

Webdb cgi + apache

Hi folks,
I have a privat question :-)
I trying to run the webdb (linux) cgi programm with apache.
It is running when I add the username and password in the
configuration file.
But that is not what I want :-(
The other point is I don't know Apache configuartion so well
So can somebody tell me how to configure the cgi-bin dir
in that way, that he not makes an authentication with the
web server but with the db.
The reason here for is, I like webdb by itself very much,
but the listner is a mess :-( even on linux or hp or aix.
And I have to make some progress.
You would really help, thanks, Olaf ;-)

database. You need to have ORACLE_HOME set, and ORACLE_SID, of
course.
I DO hope you have created a big enough database?! The good old
8.0.5.x demo database is too small!
Attention: if using this with another database than 8i you must
probably change the file locations. On 8i, WebDB is installed
completely under $ORACLE_HOME/webdb/, while this is different
when WebDB is installed on 8.0.5. That is because Oracle didn't
want to mix old (glibc-2.0) WebDB libraries and binaries and new
8i libs and binaries.
