Where's the real installation guide?

Question

After nearly reaching the limit of my patience with Oracle's documentation and the UCM setup process, I'm putting the call out to anyone who's gone through the installation pain already to throw up a step-by-step installation process that works. So far, documenation that I've found on the Oracle site and various things floating around in the land of Google make small pieces of the whole pie work, but never the whole pie start-to-finish. I and one of my coworkers are very much feeling like anything we get up and running was hacked together just to gain basic functionality.
In terms of basic functionality and architecture, our goals are the following (and I'd love to know if one of these pieces is specifically known to NOT work):
Server 1:
Oracle DB 11g
Server 2:
JRun4 (in lieu of Tomcat)
Apache 2.2.9
Content Server
Content Integration Suite (haven't even gotten to Portlet suites yet - just trying to establish base functionality)
Site Studio
Full-text search
JSP Enabled
For the time being, we've been attempting the setup using Win XP Pro on both boxes.
I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting or referencing a name incorrectly in my configuration, but I've run into nonstop roadblocks, java and SQL errors and all-around pain and misery. Anybody up for a complete step-by-step that I KNOW a lot of frustrated users are dying to see?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Installation of the Database:
Install OracleXE
After installing the software, taking all the defaults, follow these steps to create the schema
Open the SQL Command window:
On Windows, from the Start menu, select Programs (or All Programs), then Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, and then Run SQL Command Line.
Connect system/welcome1@XE
@ <location of installables dir>/Createuser.sql
@ <location of installables dir>/UCMRole.sql
The result of this action is a user id (db_admin) with the password of db_admin
Exit the sql command line
Installation of content server:
Navigate to [Install_Dir]\UCM\ContentServer\win32 directory of the extracted zip location. Run Installer.exe
Use the following options
Your Locale = English-US
Installation Type = Install new server
Installation Directory = c:/oracle/ucm/idc
Create Directory = Yes
Java Virtual Machine = Sun Java 1.5.0_11 JDK
Native File Repository = c:/oracle/ucm/idc/vault/
Create Directory = Yes
Web viewable File Repository = c:/oracle/ucm/idc/weblayout/
Create Directory = Yes
Master or proxy server = Configure as a Master server
Admin Server Config = Install an admin server to manage this server
Note: For subsequent installations you can select to configure an existing admin server and save disk space
Location of web browser executable path = usually the default
Content Server Locale = English-US
Timezone = Use timezone of operating system
Content Server Port Number = 4444
Note: Subsequent installation will increment this number. There is no magic to the number other than it is a unique port number on the server
Admin Server Port Number = 4440
Incoming connection address filter: 127.0.0.1
Web Server relative root = /idc/
Note: Similar to the installation directory above, it helps to name the relative root as to what you are using it for so that you can easily confirm the instance you are working with from the URL in the browser
Company Mail Server = localhost
Administrator E-Mail Address = sysadmin@localhost
Web Server HTTP Address = let it default to your host name. If your web server is on a port other than 80 then enter hostname:port
Server Instance Name = idc
Content Server Instance Label = Content Server Master 1
Content Server Description = Content Server Master 1 for UCM Product Training
Web Server = Apache
Database = Oracle
Manually configure JDBC = No
Oracle Server Hostname = localhost
Oracle Listener Port = 1521
Oracle User = db_admin
Oracle password = db_admin
Oracle instance name = XE
Find the JDBC driver in a specific jar file = no
Create database tables = no (since we have created them earlier, otherwise) yes
Components to install =F
Configure Administrative Server service = Install service and start automatically
Configure the admin service to run as a specific user = no
Configure admin service to be dependent on another service = no
Configure Content Server service = Install service and start automatically
Configure the service to run as a specific user = no
Configure service to be dependent on another service = no
Proceed with install = Proceed
Disable 8.3 Filename creation=true
Proceed with intsall : 1
Verify the installation
Open Windows Explorer
Navigate to “c:\oracle\ucm\idc\install”
Open the “log.txt” file in a text editor
NOTE: Content Server writes files in UNIX style, using only a line feed and not the carriage return/line feed combination that Microsoft uses. So using Notepad as your text editor will give you huge run-on sentences. Use WordPad or TextPad or some other “real” text editor
Review the log for errors.
NOTE: The default English-US locale uses two digits to represent the year (‘yy’), where the year is interpreted to be between 1969 and 2068. In other words, 65 is considered to be 2065, not 1965. If you want years prior to 1969 to be interpreted correctly in the English-US locale, you need to change the default date format for that locale to use four digits to represent years (‘yyyy’).
modify the default English-US date format
From the Windows Start menu, select Programs—Oracle Content Server—[Instance Name]—Utilities—System Properties.
The System Properties applet is started.
Open the Localization tab.
Select the English-US entry in the list of locales, and click Edit.
The Configure Locale dialog is displayed.
Modify the date format to use four digits for the year (‘yyyy’) rather than two (‘yy’). This is done by changing the Date/Time Format from “M/d/yy {h:mm[:ss] {aa}[zzz]}!mAM,PM” to “M/d/yyyy {h:mm[:ss] {aa}[zzz]}!mAM,PM”
After you are done editing, click OK to close the Configure Locale dialog.
Click OK to apply the change and exit System Properties.
Stop and restart the Content Server (otherwise the change will not take effect).
Note: Open the services applet from the control panel. Locate the “IDC Content Admin Service idc_admin” service and restart it.
Install Web Server
Run <InstallablesDir>/*Apache* with defaults
Open httpd.conf file (From the Windows Start menu, select Programs—Apache HTTP Server-Configure Apache Server – Edit the httpd.conf file
Add the following entry at the end of the file and restart the http server :
LoadModule IdcApacheAuth C:/oracle/ucm/idc/shared/os/win32/lib/IdcApache22Auth.dll
IdcUserDB idc "C:/oracle/ucm/idc/data/users/userdb.txt"
Alias /idc C:\oracle\ucm\idc\weblayout
<Location /idc>
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex portal.htm
IdcSecurity idc
</Location>
Note : The above entry is located in the Apache.txt file in the installables dir
Results of a Content Server Installation
Verify the browser interface by opening your web browser to http://localhost/idc
The system administrator user id is sysadmin with a default password of idc. These are case sensitive. Select the Login link and log in as sysadmin.
Try this for content server installation let me know if you face any issues....
