Ive managed it after applying 5 patches and discovering bugs in the Oracle supplied shell scripts.
Here are some of the major probs I cam up against....
To get discoverer to install OK in the first place you need to turn
your machine colour settings down I found that 8bit crappy-colour got
me through!
You need to then patch discoverer upto v 4.1.44.06.00 for Linux 7.1
that is. You can get this from the oracle Metalink site.
Also beware that the dicoverer locator software/server thingy looks
for the first occurance of an IP number in your etc/hosts file, this
may be the loopback number on your machine, it was on mine and causes
discoverer to error out. Make the real machine IP the first entry in
fron of the loopback one...yes honestly how cr*p is thet, eh??!!!!
Keep your java console with 'show console' option selected when trying to connect over the web, it helps when trying to locate problems.
Getting discoverer to work on Linux is a pure nightmare so good luck...you'll need it!! Received on Tue Nov 05 2002 - 16:47:31 CET
