OFM 11g middle tier not installing (forms reports portal discoverer)
Aug 12 2009, 4:41 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 12 2009, 4:41 PM EDT
Hello,
I'm installing OFM on a single box http://Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Carthage) 32-bits, choosing to install Forms, Reports, Portal, Discoverer on a new Domain. But the installer fails in the Step 5, exactly when is Starting Managed Server: WLS_PORTAL.

What I find completely weird is that under servers there are no servers created besides the Admin Server, so why the installer reports that the managed servers where created when they were not. I don't have any WLS_PORTAL, WLS_REPORTS, WLS_FORMS nor WLS_DISCO.

Has anyone had this problem.

Setup:
Database 11g (11.1.0.7) as Metada Repository
OFM IDM11g already installed
SSO 10.1.4.3 already installed
Everuthing on the same box.

The only error I found on the installActions log was this:
oracle.as.provisioning.exception.ASProvisioningException
at oracle.as.provisioning.engine.Config.executeConfigWorkflow_WLS(Config.java:876)
at oracle.as.install.classic.ca.standard.StandardWorkFlowExecutor.execute(StandardWorkFlowExecutor.java:65)

at oracle.as.install.engine.modules.configuration.action.ActionRequest.perform(ActionRequest.java:15)
...

Any help much appreciated.

OK.

I finally found something and fixed the error.

Solution:
Somewhere in the extensive log of installAction there was a message about not being able to contact the Node Manager, it was odd that this was not being declared as an Error in the Installation window but what can you do.

So I checked the logs carefully and I found that it was trying to contact the Node Manager with server name example.domain and port 5556, but the Node Manager was being started with 127.0.0.1 and port 5556, the server name example.domain was not being resolved as 127.0.0.1 but the real ip 192.xxxx.

Finally I started the Node Manager with this command: startNodeManager.sh example.domain 5556
Then beging the installation and it went without errors.

Hope this help. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
