Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) Installation On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL3)
In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4), Oracle's J2EE Application Server, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL3). The article assumes you've performed the standard advanced server installation including the development tools.

- Post Installation
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 AS3 Disk 2 cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS rpm -Uvh setarch-1.3-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh sysstat-4.0.7-4.i386.rpm # From RedHat AS3 Disk 3 cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS rpm -Uvh openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh ORBit-0.5.17-10.4.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh libpng10-1.0.13-8.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5.i386.rpm compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
Put gcc296 and g++296 first in $PATH variable by creating the following symbolic links.
mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323 mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323 ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++
Install the 3006854 patch.
unzip p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip cd 3006854 sh rhel3_pre_install.sh
Create the new groups and users.
groupadd oinstall groupadd dba groupadd oper useradd -g oinstall -G dba -s /bin/ksh oracle passwd oracle
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed.
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/904_j2ee chown -R oracle.oinstall /u01
Login as root and issue the following command.
xhost +<machine-name>
Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the ".profile" file.
# Oracle Settings TMP=/tmp; export TMP TMPDIR=$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.
