Not able to execute runInstaller

[Alok_Behria]

Hi All,

I am in process of installing 10gr2 on hpux itanium server. I've copied the setup file to target machine and did the unzip.

but , I am really surprised , I am not able to execute runinstaller.

What is the first line of runInstaller?  Is Oracle illegally using bash to install on HP-UX?

If so, you'll need to download/install bash.

[Alok_Behria]

thanks for the inputs, but i am really not sure , when you say, what is the first line ... ?? what do you need to know ? the default shell , this user uses is ksh. also, how could i know, if oracle illegely using bash here ??

accorind to me , it seems to me a permission issue , which i asked unix folks to give their check against ?

what do you think ?

thanks

>when you say, what is the first line ...? what do you need to know?

The first, "#!" line, of the script .../runInstaller.

>how could I know, if oracle illegally using bash here?

I told you, check what is on the #! line.  And there was a recent topic on it:

>it seems to me a permission issue

That's the problem, it isn't an obvious permission issue and so you are getting a bogus message.  This is a syndrome that the shell doesn't exist.  Especially since you show the script is executable.

[Alok_Behria]

Yes, you seems to hit the right button. that is what seperate gretes from ordinary. going forward , do i need to change the shell of my user ?

#!/bin/sh

# The environment variable $SRCHOME cannot be set during the installation
unset SRCHOME

AWK=/bin/awk

BUNDLE=db
OCR_LOC=/var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc
LOCALONLY=local_only

> you seem to hit the right button.

#!/bin/sh

Oops, that's not bash all and /bin/sh should work fine.

And in any case, I was mistaken on the error message.  If your interpreter isn't there, you get a nice message:

interpreter "/bin/sh" not found

... Then:

sh: your-script-name:  not found.

(You also get this if you have a trailing CR because the file was copied from Windows.)

Experimenting with the script, you do get that "Execute permission denied." error if the shell doesn't have execute permission or is a directory.

So, what does this show: ll /bin/sh

>do I need to change the shell of my user?

That shouldn't matter.  But what is your shell?

>./runInstaller: /db/kronqa/export/csc/10gr2_setup/database/install/runInstaller: Execute permission denied.

Perhaps I'm confused on the error message?  Are there two runInstaller files?

What is your pwd?  Is it /db/kronqa/export/csc/10gr2_setup/database/install/?

What does this show:

ll /db/kronqa/export/csc/10gr2_setup/database/install/runInstaller
