Hi
R12.1.1 does work with OEL 5 as i have this configuration on another machine (32bit).

You should find most of your ‘missing’ files on the install media – although they may not be the easiest things to find. I found it was easier to use a unix script to list the contents of all directories of all the install media to a text file. It was then a simple case to search the text files to identify where they were located.

For the genuine missing files (such as the “compat” files) a quick google reveals a number of sites providing the download rpm files.

As a note, you should ensure that you have all of these files located and installed in your OS before you commence the Oracle EBS install, otherwise you will find issues with the install.

Hi,

I am trying to install R12.1.1 on a INSPIRON:E1405 2GB MEMORY and 500GB of disk.

I have installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 5 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32bit) OS.

But as I run rapidwiz the “Pre-Install Checks” says everything looks god good. And at “Post-Install Checks” I have problems:
HTTP
Viirtual Directory
Login Page
Configuration Upload
JSP.

Can you two questions??
Will R12.1.1 work with Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 5 Media Pack v1 for x86 (32bit) OS or do I need to down to a earlier release??

Where do I find these files?? I could not find the files below on the OS distribution or http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/files/Enterprise_Linux
• compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26
• gcc-4.1.2-14.el5
• gcc-c++-4.1.2-14.el5
• glibc-2.5-12
• glibc-common-2.5-12
• glibc-devel-2.5-12
• libgcc-4.1.2-14.el5
• libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-14.el5
• libstdc++-4.1.2-14.el5
• make-3.81-1.1
• gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1
• libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5
• libaio-0.3.106-3.2
• libgomp-4.1.2-14.el5
• sysstat-7.0.0-3.el5
• compat-libstdc++-.296-2.96-138
• compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
I’m not familiar with Fedora, but am assuming that its a Red Hat remix (in the same vein as CentOS).

I had major issues with Java/JRE etc when wanting to run the forms.
In my part 2 posting i touch upon the problems i had – there was a vast amount of information on OTN about using a linux client with EBS – obviously Oracle’s official line is that “its not supported”…
In the end i when down the Edition 5 Update X route as i had the downloads already on the machine. If you look at the install part 2 blog, at the section headed “Apply latest JDK update” there are some notes as to what i did to get it running.

Hi. I’ve got everything running on Fedora 11. I can login to application. But when I try to load form, the applet runs, but no form. I have Firefox 3.5.3. Which version of java is suppose to be running on my system? When I look under R12 and find their java console – it points to jre Standard Edition 6 Version 6 Update 7 (Build 1.6.0_07-b06). Of course Fedora has loaded – java version “1.6.0_0″
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6) (fedora-29.b16.fc11-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
. What could be my problem. All the services are running after adstrtal.sh is run.

Ah
For my install i chose the single-user/single-machine option. Using this option means that the applmgr user account is not used – everything gets created (and owned by) the Oracle account.
I guess an alternative/work-around would be to go in and have a hack, and change the permissions or ownerships on some of the scripts so that they all happily run from a single user account…

I actually have another question. In Part 2 all your start/stop scripts are owned by oracle. Somehow in the installation I finally finished – oracle only works for starting database and its listeners. httpd requires applmgr.
Is it how it is supposed to be or I did something wrong? Thanks again

Hi Mark
In my post for Part 2 of the install i include details of the start and stop scripts that i put together. These start the Apps and DB tiers including the Listener and Apache

Thanks for the help. It actually started working. My note about “no corrupted files” was premature. 1 of the zip files was corrupted. After I did download these files, everything seems to be normal. Are patches installation mandatory? I’m not planning to use it as APPS, rather experimenting with FNDLOAD. Where can I find how to start the entire R12 – apps and db tiers? Thanks

Not used the 64bit versions at all.
What sort of errors are you encountering?
