Re: WebDB install problems

[Quoted] Been THERE did THAT....I was caught in what seemed like an infinate loop installing this product on Solaris 2.7 with EE ORACLE 8i server on the same machine. I had the same issues as you, first it popped up an error on the screen with a make error and then it failed when I entered the SYS and TNS alias name, invalid password or TNS name.

[Quoted] First off, you need to install webDb in its own product directory, ie. NOT in your ORACLE server directory (when I did this, my ORACLE server went SOUTH fast).

[Quoted] Environment variables are pretty important, ...specifically the following (note that the below env variables are all relative, basically, you want to make sure that your lib path points to your webdb home library directory first) :

[Quoted] LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/webdb_home/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/lib

[Quoted] TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin

[Quoted] ORACLE_SID=<value>

[Quoted] Note however that when the install prompts you for ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE, make sure that you change the field labeled ORACLE_HOME to /u01/app/oracle/webdb_home (your webdb home, not your ORACLE server home).

[Quoted] As you know, it creates tables and stuff and there is a possibility that you could run out of tablespace if you are not careful.

[Quoted] Anyways, off the oracle site, there is more info on the METALINK site, specifically, ORACLE METALINK document 91819.1.

[Quoted] Good Luck, I feel your pain !
