What should I do before adding to the Installfest Community Wiki?

Why do I need different priviledges to install the XE and the SE/EE versions of the database?
  • The free version of the database (Oracle XE) is installed as a .rpm or .deb you will need 'root' or 'sudo' priviledges to install it.
  • The Standard and Enterprise Editions of the database are installed using theOracle Universal Installer, which is a graphical install tool that is expecting a user 'oracle', with specific directory permissions. For more details please see the install guides linked from the Installfest Community wiki.

Are there any best practises or configurations?
  • There is a whole section on OTN for Validated Configurations - These known configurations have been tested in conjunction with some of Oracle's Partners. Very useful if you want to jumpstart a production project, and are not sure about what hardware, networking and storage works well together. It also removes the question of will the drivers be tested / supported.

How can I get into the XE database if it does not start at bootup?
  • If you chose not to have XE start at bootup during the configuration phase of the install, you will need start the listener and database manually, before trying to access http://127.0.0.1:8080/apexe.

hi,
i have downloaded OAM 10.1.4.0.1 for Linux system and trying to install its first component OAM identity server.
to start the installation command used is " /home/oracle/Desktop/OAM/Oracle_Access_Manager10_1_4_0_1_linux_Accsss_Server"
at the first stage i have to enter user and group
Enter the username the identity server is running as [nobody]
Enter the Group for the above username [nobody]
but, as i enter user and group for the installation it prompts an error message "invalid user or group" and does not proceed for the further installation
i have tried out the many user and gorups listsed in "user manager".
the operating system i am using is "Fedora 8"
do i have to enter some specific values?
or do something before starting the installation as i will be using "Oracle Virtual Directory"?
or do i need to start any server before installation?
