Hi,
once again the
facts:
- I'm a newbie with Oracle.
- I've got a E250 _without_ graphic card.
- Oracle Doku (and several other resources) insist on a graphical
installation.
- Right now I have neither a X-server nor a-Client running on my
SUN-box.
- Original installation guide refers to remote installation using
Exceed, because we don't have it.
goals:
- I would like to install the server remotely using my w2k pc and some
kind of X-configuration to connect to the SUN.
- I would like to use Cygwin because it's free.
- I want to do the setup with the least effort.
ways:
1. Install an X-Server _and_ X-client on my windowse (in my case
Cygwin)
2. Install an X-Server according to Igor on the SUN
3. reset the DISPLAY variable for teh oracle account to point to my
win-machine
4. hope that some screen appears ...
5. start installation ...
Wow! Any corrections / additional advices / agreements? I'll do the
stuff during the weekend and will give feedback.
TIA
Frank
P.S. have you installed the X-server software on your boxes ...?
P.P.S.
Installing Domino:
1.) login via telnet or ssh
2.) cd to the appropriate path
3.) $/opt/lotus/bin/http httpsetup
4.) rest done using a browser
5.) drinking a beer
