You have, of course, disabled SELinux to ensure the installation done by the root user will actually proceed. (SELinux plays havoc with a number of the commands such as chmod and chown used during install.)

After install, you have set up the firewall to permit access to ports 1521 & 8080 and only use browser access (thru 8080). Or turned off firewall as the standard access (1521) is just the initial contact and the actual session uses a random port above 1024.

And you have made sure that you don't use any Apache (or other web server) and that Tomcat (or other J2EE environment) that uses 8080 is up and running so the install can detect you are using that port.

And you have no other Oracle software on the machine, or you've made sure that no environment variable in the install session contains the upper or lower case letters 'oracle' in either the content or the variable name.
