2 Installation Issues

This chapter describes installation and their workarounds associated with Oracle Application Server. It includes the following topics:

Section 2.1, "Installation Issues"
Section 2.2, "Documentation Errata"

2.1 Installation Issues

This section describes issues with installation of Oracle Application Server. It includes the following topics:

Section 2.1.1, "Port Conflict When Oracle WebCenter Framework and Oracle Content DB are Installed on the Same Machine"
Section 2.1.2, "Installation Failure for Turkish Locale"

2.1.1 Port Conflict When Oracle WebCenter Framework and Oracle Content DB are Installed on the Same Machine

If Oracle WebCenter Framework and Oracle Content DB are installed on the same machine, you may see a message in opmn.log that is similar to the following:

06/06/07 06:22:52 [ons-connect] Passive connection 127.0.0.1,6100 missing connect

To check whether these links exist:

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

Check if the gcc and cc commands are symbolic links, for example:

gcc -> /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc
cc -> /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc

This is due to a port conflict. To correct this problem, perform the following steps:

Open the DB_ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/ons.config file for editing.
Set the localport to a port other than 6100. For example:
```
localport=7100
```

Restart the database listener:

DB_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop
DB_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start

Restart the Oracle WebCenter Framework instance:
```
opmnctl stopall
opmnctl startall
```

2.1.2 Installation Failure for Turkish Locale

The following installation types will fail with the Turkish locale:

Basic Installation
Advanced Installation: Oracle WebCenter Framework with Oracle HTTP Server
Advanced Installation: Oracle WebCenter Framework

This is because Oracle WebCenter Framework Configuration Assistant fails with the following errors:

ERROR:  'Instruction unknown: load?nstruction'
FATAL ERROR:  'Could not compile stylesheet

For all installation types, the component toolbox on the Configuration Assistants page of Oracle Universal Installer is not displayed properly for the Turkish locale.

Oracle recommends that you avoid running the Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle Application Server using the Turkish locale.

2.2 Documentation Errata

The section describes documentation errata in installation documentation. It includes the following topics:

Section 2.2.1, "Length Restrictions on Content Database Schema Password is Incorrect in the Oracle Universal Installer Online Help"

2.2.1 Length Restrictions on Content Database Schema Password is Incorrect in the Oracle Universal Installer Online Help

The following topic in the Application Server Control online help incorrectly states the valid length of the Content Database schema password when installing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.2):

"Specify Content Database Schema Password"

The length of the Content Database schema password must be between 5 and 30 characters long.
