Hi
I am installing ORACLE 8i on RED HAT LINUX 5.2.
I had the following problem.could some one help me with it.
The "dba" group for oracle user was created and I continued with the installation process. The installation process has to be run from the start after the option create database account and filling the fields it
asks to locate the file for installation of product or in short call
he
asks to select oracle product for installation. The first error came
was
"failed to create unix.prd" file. After locating the file physically
copied thru the file manager utility the file unix.prd into the oracle
directory where it looks for this file during installation. After this
step was executed i had to again run the installer program, every time
the oracle installer program is run i had to fill the details again.
There was one more error at the product selection set screen this time
it could not find the file orainst.vrf in the hard disk. The error msg
was "orainst.vrf(0) : FILE_NOT_FOUND while verifying orainst. (no such
file or directory). Again i had to locate the file from CD and copy
from
the CD to the hard disk in the specified directory where the installation kit will be looking for it. After completing this process i
had to run again the oracle installer kit. This time it gave an error
msg while installing the products the error message was
"oraview.vrf(0)
FILE_NOT_FOUND while verifying oraview. (no such file or directory)".
The file "oraview.vrf" was not there in both the CD's that you sent.
Therefore I could not further proceed as this file should be available
for proceeding with the installation process.
Thanks
jim
