Oracle Installation Error

Long time back, while installing Oracle on Windows XP, i faced the following strange problem.

"Error in writing to directory "C:\DOCUME~1\XP\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2009-04-12_08-26-12PM. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has atleast 60 MB of free space. Installation cannot continue."

I checked that the directory was writable and C: had over 5 GB free space.The solution was however, also very strange.
I copied the software directory directly in C: and then started the installation. It worked without any error.
Earlier i was running the setup from "Desktop". Even running it from "My Documents" did not work.

RW-50016: Error: – {0} was not created:-Log in Page Error 
The cause of the bellow issue is incorrect settings in the /etc/hosts file.Rapidwiz fails during post installation checks as per part of the application installation.

RW-50016: Error: – {0} was not created: 
File = {1}

The hosts file is a computer file used to store information on where to find a node on a computer network.It contains a list of IP addresses, hostnames and hostname aliases.

Solution:

I applied the following solution for resolving this issue

    Stop the Apache Server
    Open the /etc/hosts file and check the configuration setttings correctly
    Start the Apache Server
    Click to Retry option for performing post installation checks again.

Installation  of Oracle Application 11i
Oracle Apps 11i Installation 

Actually there are 2 types of instalations


1. Single Node
2. Multi Node
Again Multi Node is classified into 3 types


1. Distributed Appl Top.
2. Shared Appl Top(Appltop, Common Top).
3. Shared Apps Tier(806,ias,Appltop, Common Top).

1.  Single Node

===============

STEPS

========

1.  Create the required directories.

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/rdbms   <----  ORACLE_HOME

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/{806,ias} <--- DEVELOPER,IAS

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/{appltop,commtop}

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/oradata

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R oracle:dba /m01/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /m02/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m01/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m02/abc

2.  Install the software.

[root@srvr33 ~]# cd /stage/1159/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

                         ./rapidwiz

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Multi Node 

===================

1. Distributed Appl Top ( 11.5.9 onwards)

=======================

STEPS

=======

1.  Create the required directories.

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/rdbms   <----  ORACLE_HOME

        [root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/{806,ias}

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/distd/{appltop,commtop}

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/oradata

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R oracle:dba /m01/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /m02/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m02/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m01/abc

        

[root@srvr34 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/m01/{806,ias}

[root@srvr44 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/distd/{appltop,commtop}

[root@srvr44 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /m02/abc

[root@srvr44 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m02/abc

2.  Install the software 

follow the stadard procedure for the installation on srvr33.

        Copy the config file to srvr44, complete the installation 

        using the config file.  

    

3.  Apply the interoperability patch

4.  Apply ADX.F on the Admin server first followed by Autoconfig.Then apply

    Apply ADX.F on other nodes,and run Autoconfig on web_server node atlast.

    

5.  Prepare both he servers for preclone

    a) Run preclone for dbTier on srvr33,Run preclone for appsTier on srvr33 

       srvr44.

    b) Run cfgclone for dbTier on srvr33,Run cfgclone for appsTier on srvr33 

       srvr44.

2. Shared Appl Top (11.5.10)

============================

STEPS

======

1.  Create the required directories.

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/rdbms   <----  ORACLE_HOME

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/{806,ias} <--- DEVELOPER,IAS

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/shared/{appltop,commtop}

[root@srvr33 ~]# mkdir -p /m01/abc/oradata

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R oracle:dba /m01/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /m02/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m01/abc

[root@srvr33 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m02/abc

        

[root@srvr44 ~]# mkdir -p /m02/abc/{806,ias}

[root@srvr44 ~]# chown -R applmgr:dba /m02/abc

[root@srvr44 ~]# chmod -R 777 /m02/abc

NFS  settings

--------------

    Go to application > system settings > server setting > nfs

Basic   : select /m03 mountpoint and provide server name,read write

General 

Options : Sync write operations on request

 force sync of write operations immediately.

User 

Access  : Treat remote root user as loca root. 

[root@srvr33 ~]# service nfs start

The appltop and commn top directory 

        /m03/db1/shared/{appltop,commtop}  of srvr33  have to be mounted

on srvr44 server so that the appltop and common top will be shared

by both the servers.Create /m03 directory in srvr44.

        [root@srvr44 ~]#service nfs start

        mount -t nfs srvr33:/m03  /m03 -o nolock

2.  Install the software 

follow the stadard procedure for the installation on srvr33.

        Copy the config file to srvr44, complete the installation 

        using the config file.

3.  Mount the  /m03 directory  on the  srvr44

srvr44 : mount -t srvr33:/m03 /m03 -o nolock
