Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) Installation On RedHat Advanced Server 2.1
In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4), Oracle's J2EE Application Server, on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1. The article assumes you've performed the standard advanced server installation including the development tools. The base release of the kernel does not support Oracle AS 10g so you must run up2date
before proceeding.

Download Software
Download the following software.
Unpack Files
First unzip the files.
gunzip ias904_linux_disk1.cpio.gz gunzip ias904_linux_disk2.cpio.gz gunzip ias904_linux_disk3.cpio.gz gunzip ias904_linux_disk4.cpio.gz
Next unpack the contents of the files.
cpio -idmv < ias904_linux_disk1.cpio cpio -idmv < ias904_linux_disk2.cpio cpio -idmv < ias904_linux_disk3.cpio cpio -idmv < ias904_linux_disk4.cpio
You should now have four directories (Disk1, Disk2, Disk3 & Disk4) containing installation files.
Hosts File
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Set Kernel Parameters
Add the following lines to the "/etc/sysctl.conf" file.
kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 142 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142 fs.file-max = 131072 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 20000 65000 kernel.msgmni = 2878 kernel.msgmax = 8192 kernel.msgmnb = 65535
Run the following command to change the current kernel parameters.
/sbin/sysctl -p
Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
* soft nproc 16384 * hard nproc 16384 * soft nofile 65536 * hard nofile 65536
Add the following line to the "/etc/pam.d/login" file, if it does not already exist.
session required pam_limits.so
Setup
Install the following packages.
# From RedHat AS2.1 Disk 1 cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS rpm -Uvh openmotif-2.1.30-11.i386.rpm # From RedHat AS2.1 Disk 2 cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS rpm -Uvh pdksh-5.2.14-13.i386.rpm rpm -Uhh compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper useradd -g oinstall -G dba -s /bin/ksh oracle passwd oracle
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/904_j2ee chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
Login as root and issue the following command.
xhost +<machine-name>
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".profile" file.
# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/904_j2ee; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=/usr/sbin:/opt/IBMJava2-131/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin; export PATH PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin; export PATH #LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH #CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then ulimit -p 16384 ulimit -n 16384 else ulimit -u 16384 -n 16384 fi fi PS1="`hostname`> " set -o emacs set filec
Installation
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable.
DISPLAY=<machine-name>:0.0; export DISPLAY
Start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) by issuing the following command in the Disk1 directory.
./runInstaller
During the installation enter the appropriate ORACLE_HOME and name then continue with the installation.
Post Installation
With the installation complete you can perform any administration tasks using Enterprise Manager.
- Connect to the Enterprise Manager Website (http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:1810) using the username "ias_admin" and the password you assigned during the installation. If EM is not available start it with the "emctl start iasconsole" command.
- Stop enterprise manager by issuing the "emctl stop iasconsole" command.
