Oracle 9i iAS (Install PB)

[ptreves]

Hello everyone,

I upgraded my server to Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3 (ES). I installed Oracle 9i Database, created a started database and imported the data from my export dump file from ORacle 8i.

For all of you who contributed by comments and feedback I am eternaly gratefull.
----
However, my work is not over. I still have to bring my DB online of the network and then install Oracle 9i iAS to go from Client/Server to Web.

During the installation of Oracle 9i iAS, I ran into the following Pop-Up message:
=====
This is the Pop-Up message that I get, when installing Oracle 9i iAS:
-----
Your local hsot name database file (typically /etc/hosts) is not configured
properly. This file should have an entry of the form:


On Solaris sustems, the following files should also contain the fully qualified hostname, including the domain name:

/etc/nodename, /etc/net/ticlts/hosts, /etc/net/ticots/hosts,
/etc/net/ticotsord/hosts, and any files in /etc whose names begin with "hostname"

In some of the above files, the hostanme may occur more than once, in which
case all occurences hould be changed. Please correct your local host name database file, reboot the host, and restart the installation.
Failure to properly configure this file may result in product runtime issues regarding proper hostname resolution.
-----

I tried to edit my /etc/hosts file as follows and reboot my computer to no avail. The message keeps coming back. I don't have any of the other files mentioned under /etc. Here is my /etc/hosts file:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.9.200.12 Linux2005 Oracle9iserver

How can I resolve this PB ?

You should just shoot yourself now.

Hello,

I don't understand.
Why are you giving me negative comments like that ?
This does not help me and I guess reflects poorly on this forum.

I would like to understand the nature of that error message and how to go about to resolve this issue ?

boy, shoot yourself because you cannot even configure the host properly, and you have an exmaple in the same host file lol

Hello,

I set my DISPLAY variable as follows:

DISPLAY=192.9.200.12:0.0; export DISPLAY

THen I can invoke the OUI for iAS without that error message.
-----
MY /etc/hosts file looks like:


# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
#127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.9.200.12 Linux2005.katz.qc.ca linux2005
=====
I commented out the first line. DUring the ORacle 9i Database Install I used both lines.

When asked to type a hostname and portnumber, I get this error:
-----

An error occured while attempting to verify your host and port. Please verify your host and port values and that you can connect to this host, or enter new values. Use Ourput sTringlist is : localhost.localdoamin*7777*

Return value from SSORunning funciton is INVALID
=====

Any ideas how I can resolve this ?

Hi

your /etc/hosts should have a entry like this

192.9.200.12 linux2005.katz.qc.ca linux2005

remember linux is case sensitive

now reboot the machine and verify by typing
hostname

and pinging the server by hostname

regards
Hrishy

Hello,

You mean just the fact of typing linux2005 instead of Linux2005 would make all the difference. When I type hostname, the return value is Linux2005 not linux2005.

Is that important enough ?
