Hi Atal,

Your information is really usefull for me many times.

Could you please help for the following things:

1. I installed vmware server
2. Create virutal Machine
3. Installed Red hat linux

Now I want to install oracle 11i apps from CD.

I logged in as root and run the
{root@localhost rapidwiz}#rapidwiz

but an error occur:
[root@localhost Disk1]# ./rapidwiz/rapidwiz


Rapid Install Wizard is validating your file system......

Rapid Install found an already existing /tmp/RapidInstall directory.Please make sure that no other instance of Rapid Install is running
or that the previous Rapid Install session completed. If the area
in /tmp/RapidInstall is no longer being used, it must be completely
removed before starting up a new Rapid Install session.

[root@localhost Disk1]#

SO, ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE ERROR I TRIED TO DELETE THE RapidInstall folder under /tmp/ But its not deleted.

[root@localhost tmp]# ls
gconfd-root mapping-root orbit-senthil xses-root.yzWetO
gconfd-senthil mapping-senthil RapidInstall
keyring-9zIFeQ orbit-root ssh-BcIMz23870
[root@localhost tmp]# rm -r RapidInstall
rm: descend into directory `RapidInstall'? y
rm: descend into directory `RapidInstall/jlib'? y
rm: descend into directory `RapidInstall/jlib/java'? y
rm: descend into directory `RapidInstall/jlib/java/oracle'?

Please let help me is there any prerequiste like JDK and any other linux related tools?

 

To delete recursive with force option use

rm -rf RapidInstall

On Linux If this is R12 you need not to install anything but if this is 11i as per install doc you need to first install JDK .

Install JDK 1.3.1 or 1.4.2 on linux any then run installer once again .

hey Atul,

nice to see your efforts!!!

i have installed a r12 on linux on my sandbox environment. it was working fine. i was able to run concurrent programs etc. now suddenly when i put the URL on my browser i.e.
http://localhost:port/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

i don't receive a login screen.

the browser shows the status of done at the left bottom corner, but the login screen is not coming up.

i saw the Apache logs but there were none created there.

could you please suggest where could exactly be the problem

thanks

Restart services & check for

to see if web server is listning on that port

[oracle@uranus oracle]$ netstat -an|grep 8043
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8043 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Hi, I am not a DBA and even dont intend to be, however, i want to install apps r12.1 on my laptop. I have 4 GB ram and 500 gb ext. hdd and windows 7 OS. I have installed vmware and Linux OEL ver 4 with kernel version 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELsmp with 3GB Ram allocation. I run apps setup every thing goes fine, but post install checks return only DB, env file, dbc file successful and all other HTTP, JSP, Login page etc failed. I read few blogs and reduced SGA_Target from 1G to 500M, database can be started manually but still post install checks fail. What else do i need to do

Hi Atul,
I have installed R12.1.1 on VMware server successfully, NAT connect in VMware is working fine. I can connect to the server through IP using putty, but not with hostname.
and hence I cannot be able to connect to server from Browser in windows using hostname.domainname:port/
can you help me setting local DNS setup in VMware. so that I can access Application installed in VMware from Browser in windows?

Thanks in Advance,
