HowTo: Install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2

[dirkoneill]

I had a little bit of trouble installing the oracle application server release 2 so I thought that I would share my install process.

1. Create an 'oracle' user and 'oracle' group.
2. For user 'oracle' add 'root' to secondary list of groups
3. sudo chmod 775 /opt
4. Log out and log back in as oracle user
5. To fix a missing 'ntcontab.o', do the following:sudo apt-get install gcc make manpages-dev autoconf automake libtool flex bison gdb gcc-2.95-doc binutils
6. sudo apt-get install libdb1-compat
7. Download the Oracle Application file 'as_linux_x86_core_101202.cpio' from oracle
8. Extract in local user directory cpio -i --file=/<path>/as_linux_x86_core_101202.cpio -d
9. cd Disk1
10. ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
11. At the end of the install near 95% if is says that it cannot verify that the instance is running(message: <path>/opmn/bin/opmnctl start), hit continue.
12. That's it. Let it do it's initialization process. When it is finished exit.
13. Go to http://localhost:1156 for the admin console.
14. There still needs to be an entry in /etc/intit.d but I have not done that yet. Soon, I will update the post with the file.

If you think that it'll be this easy to install Oracle 10g Application Server on Ubuntu Linux you're crazy! Oracle 10g Application Server is a complex product and there's a good reason that's it's only certified on...

... Oh! ... wait a minute ... It's done... Never mind :D

Dude, you Rock! :)

Success using this method with Oracle Application Server 10g v10.1.2.0.2 on Kubuntu Edgy (6.10).

I am glad that I could give something back to the community and more immportantly, that it worked for someone else. It is also good to see that this method is still working in 6.10.

Hi,

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
Basically, I'm trying to get the http server for oracle going for huse with htmldb.
The installer for http and htmldb stops at 38% and the last message in the log file is the fast copy on oracle.jdk.1.4.2.0.2.

Any ideas????

I tried the standalone http from the companion CD as well and this stops at this message also.

Ta.
