Install Oracle on HP-UX

[Andy Cole_1]

hi all, i am not sure whether i am correct for installing oracle on HP UX. I mount the DVD Rom and place the Oracle CD inside, but when i try to execute /DVD/runInstaller to install the software, it prompt an error saying cannot display X Windows ...... I tried to do a xhost but it prompt "cannot display ". So i found out that actually i cannot use telnet to bring out the GUI. So i install Reflection on the workstation and execute /DVD/runInstaller and it works. But i am not sure whether is the correct way to do it. Thanks

You are correct. As runinstaller is gui based, you will need exceed/reflection to run it. Export the display to your PC and start it.

By the way, Andy, it's customary to express your gratitude for the efforts expended on your behalf by assigning points to the responses.

Just thought I should mention that, as you seem, according to your profile to be unaware of that fact.

Also note that if you do not give the installer permission to attach to the X server you will fall on you backside as well.

Go to the machine's console or any terminal directly connected to the machine and type

xhost

or

if you aren't that concerned about network security

If you aren't directly connected and xhost hasn't been told that your machine can connect to X, you will get the "xhost cannot display


xhost +

This will allow the installer to talk to the X server.

--Good Luck

Hi,

as you could get the OUI display and install suceesfully it's fine. don't bother about reflection or some thing else.
We use humming bird's exceed to do the same.
