Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Installation On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL3 Update 3)
In this article I'll describe the installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), Oracle's J2EE Application Server, on RedHat Advanced Server 3.0 (update 3). The article assumes you've performed the standard advanced server installation including the development tools.

I've experienced issues with installations on systems that are updated beyond Update 3, which is the version certified by Oracle.
Download Software
Download the following software.
Unpack Files
Unpack the contents of the file.
cpio -idmv < as_linux_x86_core_101200.cpio
You should now have a directory (Disk1) 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 = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142 fs.file-max = 131072 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 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 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
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.EL3.3.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 libpng10-1.0.13-15.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.6.i386.rpm compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128.i386.rpm compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.128.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/j2ee_10_1_2 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/j2ee_10_1_2; 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 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.
