In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3), Oracle's J2EE Application Server, on RedHat Advanced Server and CentOS. The article is based on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled and the following package groups installed.
Additional steps may be necessary when starting with a different base OS installation.
Download the Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3) Software. This is no longer available from OTN, so you will have to raise an SR with Oracle support to get the software.
Unpack the contents of the file.
cpio -idmv < as_linux_x86_101300_disk1.cpio
The installation files unpack into the current directory.
The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Add the following lines to the "/etc/security/limits.conf" file.
* soft nproc 2047 * hard nproc 16384 * soft nofile 2048 * 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
The installation guide for the core application server makes no reference to kernel parameters, suggesting that the default values are adequate.
If installing version 10.1.3.1, you must comment out the ANT_HOME line from the "/etc/ant.conf" file, or rename the file so it is not detected.
The documentation states that the following packages are required by the relevant operating systems.

Depending on the update/respin version of Red Hat or CentOS, the exact package versions and locations may vary. The installation of the required packages is shown below, with the locations relevant for Red Hat 4.

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/10.1.3 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/10.1.3/OracleAS_1; export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM PATH=/usr/sbin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/dcm/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin; export PATH PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin; export PATH if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then ulimit -p 16384 ulimit -n 65536 else ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536 fi fi PS1="`hostname`> " set -o emacs set filec
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. For a more detailed look at the installation process, click on the links below to see screen shots of each stage.
With the installation complete you can perform any administration tasks using the Enterprise Manager Website (http://<fully-qualified-machine-name>:7777/em). Log in using the username "oc4jadmin" and the password you assigned during the installation.
