This guide describes how to quickly install Oracle Database 10g Companion Products (Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB) on Linux Itanium systems. It includes information about the following:
|
Note: This guide describes how to install Oracle Database 10g Companion Products on a system that does not have any Oracle software installed on it. If there is an existing Oracle software installation on this system, see the Oracle Database Companion CD Installation Guide for UNIX Systems for more detailed installation instructions. |
This guide describes how to complete a default installation of Oracle Database 10g Companion Products in a new Oracle home directory. Oracle Database 10g Companion Products include:
Oracle HTTP Server: A Web server that is based on Apache HTTP Server.
Oracle HTML DB: A hosted development environment that enables non-programmers to create database-centric Web applications. It provides developers with the productivity of a desktop database, but with the security, reliability, and performance of the Oracle database. Any IT organization can host Oracle HTML DB environments for departments in the company that do not have Oracle development skills available.
Tasks Not Described in this Guide
This guide does not describe how to complete the following tasks:
Installing the Oracle Database 10g Products in an existing Oracle home that contains Oracle Database 10g
Installing Oracle HTML DB in an existing Oracle home that contains Oracle HTTP Server
Where to Get Additional Installation Information
For more detailed information about installing Oracle Database 10g Companion CD products, including information about the tasks not described in this guide, see the Oracle Database Companion CD Installation Guide for UNIX Systems.
This guide is available on the product disc. To access it, use a Web browser to open the welcome.htm file, either in the top-level directory of the CD-ROM or in the companion directory on the DVD-ROM, then select the Documentation tab.
Complete the following tasks before installing Oracle HTML DB.
Check the Oracle Database Installation
Before installing Oracle HTML DB, identify the Oracle database that you want to use with Oracle HTML DB. The database must be Oracle9i release 9.2.0.3 or higher. The database can be on a different system from the system where you are installing Oracle HTML DB.
Check for Oracle XML DB
Oracle XML DB must be installed in the database that you want to use.
If you are using a preconfigured database created either during an installation or by the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA), Oracle XML DB is already installed and configured. For information about manually adding Oracle XML DB to an existing database, see the Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide.
Identify Database Information
During the installation, you must specify the following information about the database:
The host name of the database system
The port number of the Oracle Net listener
The service name of the database
The password of the SYS user
Make sure that you have this information before starting the installation.
Before you install the Oracle software, you must complete several tasks as the root user. To log in as the root user, complete one of the following procedures:
|
Note: You must install the software from an X window workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installed. |
If you are installing the software from an X Window System workstation or X terminal:
Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).
If you are not installing the software on the local system, enter the following command to enable remote hosts to display X applications on the local X server:
$ xhost +
If you are not installing the software on the local system, use the ssh, rlogin, or telnet command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:
$ telnet remote_host
If you are not logged in as the root user, enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root password: #
If you are installing the software from a PC or other system with X server software installed:
|
Note: If necessary, see your X server documentation for more information about completing this procedure. Depending on the X server software that you are using, you may need to complete the tasks in a different order. |
Start the X server software.
Configure the security settings of the X server software to permit remote hosts to display X applications on the local system.
Connect to the remote system where you want to install the software and start a terminal session on that system, for example, an X terminal (xterm).
If you are not logged in as the root user on the remote system, enter the following command to switch user to root:
$ su - root password: #
The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements:
| Requirement | Minimum Value |
|---|---|
| Physical memory (RAM) | 256 MB (262144 KB) |
| Swap space | 512 MB (524288 KB) or twice the size of RAM
On systems with 2 GB or more of RAM, the swap space can be between one and two times the size of RAM |
Disk space in /tmp
|
400 MB (409600 KB) |
| Disk space for software files | 400 MB (409600 KB) to install only Oracle HTTP Server, or 700 MB (716800 KB) to install Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB |
To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps:
To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command:
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
If the size of the physical RAM installed in the system is less than 256 MB, you must install more memory before continuing.
To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command:
# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
If necessary, see your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.
To determine the amount of free disk space available in the /tmp directory, enter the following command:
# df -h /tmp
If there is less than 400 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, complete one of the following steps:
Delete unnecessary files from the /tmp directory to achieve the required disk space.
Set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables when setting the oracle user's environment (described later).
Extend the file system that contains the /tmp directory. If necessary, contact your system administrator for information about extending file systems.
To determine the amount of free disk space available on the system, enter the following command:
# df -h
This command displays the disk space usage on all mounted file systems. To complete the installation, identify a file system with sufficient disk space.
The system must meet the following minimum software requirements, depending on your Linux distribution and version.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES/AS 2.1 (Update 3 or higher)
Kernel version 2.4.18 errata 37 (e.37) or higher must be installed

To ensure that the system meets these requirements, follow these steps:
To determine which distribution and version of Linux is installed, enter the following command:
# cat /etc/issue
|
Note: Only the listed distributions and versions are currently certified and supported. |
To determine whether the required packages are installed, enter commands similar to the following:
$ rpm -q package_name
If a required package is not installed, or if the version is lower than the required version, install the package from your operating system distribution media or download the required package version from your Linux vendor's Web site.
To determine whether the required kernel version is installed, enter the following command:
# uname -r
If the kernel version is lower than the required version, download and install the required version or a higher version from your Linux vendor's Web site.
The following local UNIX group and user must exist on the system:
The oinstall group (the Oracle Inventory group)
The oracle user (the Oracle software owner)
The oinstall group and the oracle user may already exist on your system. To determine whether they exist already, and if necessary, to create them, follow these steps:
To determine whether the oinstall group exists, enter the following command:
# grep oinstall /etc/group
If the output from this command shows the specified group name, that group already exists.
If necessary, enter the following command to create the oinstall group:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
To determine whether the oracle user exists and belongs to the correct groups, enter the following command:
# id oracle
If the oracle user exists, this command displays information about the groups to which the user belongs. The output should be similar to the following, indicating that oinstall is the primary group:
uid=502(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),503(dba)
If necessary, complete one of the following actions:
If the oracle user exists, but its primary group is not oinstall, enter a command similar to the following, where the -g option specifies oinstall as the primary group and the -G option specifies any existing groups to which the oracle user belongs:
# /usr/sbin/usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
If the oracle user does not exist, enter the following command to create it:
# /usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
This command creates the oracle user and specifies:
oinstall as the primary group
dba as an optional secondary group
Enter the following command to set the password of the oracle user:
# passwd oracle
Create an Oracle base directory with a name similar to the following and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for it:
/u01/app/oracle
The Oracle base directory must have either 400 MB (409600 KB) of free disk space to install only Oracle HTTP Server or 700 MB (716800 KB) of free disk space to install Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle HTML DB.
To determine where to create this directory, follow these steps:
Enter the following command to display information about all mounted file systems:
# df -h
This command displays information about all of the file systems mounted on the system, including:
The physical device name
The total amount, used amount, and available amount of disk space
The mount point directory for that file system
From the display, identify a file system that has sufficient disk space.
Note the name of the mount point directory for the file system that you identified.
In the following examples, /u01 is the mount point directory used for the software. You must specify the appropriate mount point directory for the file system on your system.
To create the required directory and specify the correct owner, group, and permissions for it, follow these steps:
|
Note: In the following procedure, replace/u01 with the appropriate mount point directory that you identified in Step 3 previously.
|
Enter the following command to create subdirectories in the mount point directory that you identified for the Oracle base directory:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
Change the owner and group of the directory that you created to the oracle user and the oinstall group:
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
Change the permissions on the directory that you created to 775:
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
The Oracle Database 10g software is available on both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. These discs are in ISO 9660 format with Rockridge extensions.
On most Linux systems, the product disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the drive. To verify that the disc is mounted correctly, follow these steps:
If necessary, enter a command similar to following to eject the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:
Red Hat:
# eject /mnt/cdrom
SUSE:
# eject /media/cdrom
In this example, /mnt/cdrom or /media/cdrom is the mount point directory for the CD-ROM drive, depending on your distribution.
Insert the disc into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter a command similar to the following:
Red Hat:
$ ls /mnt/cdrom
SUSE:
$ ls /media/cdrom
If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, enter a command similar to the following, depending on your distribution:
Red Hat:
# mount /mnt/cdrom
SUSE:
# mount /media/cdrom
You run the Installer from the oracle account. However, before you start the Installer you must configure the environment of the oracle user. To configure the environment, you must:
Set the default file mode creation mask (umask) to 022 in the shell startup file.
Set the DISPLAY and ORACLE_BASE environment variables.
To set the oracle user's environment, follow these steps:
Start another terminal session.
Enter the following command to ensure that X Window applications can display on this system:
$ xhost +
Complete one of the following steps:
If the terminal session is not connected to the system where you want to install the software, log in to that system as the oracle user.
If the terminal session is connected to the system where you want to install the software, switch user to oracle:
$ su - oracle
To determine the default shell for the oracle user, enter the following command:
$ echo $SHELL
Open the oracle user's shell startup file in any text editor:
Bash shell (bash) on Red Hat:
$ vi .bash_profile
Bourne shell (sh), Bash shell on SUSE, or Korn shell (ksh):
$ vi .profile
C shell (csh or tcsh):
% vi .login
Enter or edit the following line in the shell startup file, specifying a value of 022 for the default file mode creation mask:
umask 022
Save the file and exit from the editor.
To run the shell startup script, enter the following command:
Bash shell on Red Hat:
$ . ./.bash_profile
Bourne shell, Bash shell on SUSE, or Korn shell:
$ . ./.profile
C shell:
% source ./.login
If you determined that the /tmp directory had insufficient free disk space when checking the hardware requirements, enter the following commands to set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables. Specify a directory on a file system with sufficient free disk space.
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ TEMP=/directory $ TMPDIR=/directory $ export TEMP TMPDIR
C shell:
% setenv TEMP /directory % setenv TMPDIR /directory
If you are not installing the software on the local system, enter the following command to direct X applications to display on the local system:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ DISPLAY=local_host:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
C shell:
% setenv DISPLAY local_host:0.0
In this example, local_host is the host name or IP address of the system that you want to use to display the Installer (your workstation or PC).
Enter commands similar to the following to set the ORACLE_BASE environment variable:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle $ export ORACLE_BASE
C shell:
% setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
In these examples, /u01/app/oracle is the Oracle base directory that you created earlier.
Enter the following commands to ensure that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN environment variables are not set:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ unset ORACLE_HOME $ unset TNS_ADMIN
C shell:
% unsetenv ORACLE_HOME % unsetenv TNS_ADMIN
To verify that the environment has been set correctly, enter the following commands:
$ umask $ env | more
Verify that the umask command displays a value of 022 and that the environment variables you set in this section have the correct values.
After configuring the oracle user's environment, start the Installer and install the Oracle software, as follows:
|
Note: The following examples show paths to therunInstaller script on a CD-ROM. If you are installing the software from DVD-ROM, use a command similar to the following:
$ /mount_point/companion/runInstaller
|
To start the Installer, enter the following commands:
Red Hat:
$ cd /tmp $ /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller
SUSE:
$ cd /tmp $ /media/cdrom/runInstaller
