Oracle 10g install

[chad_c]

Hi. We are attempting to install Oracle 10 g on our HPUX 11.11 NNM7.5 box. When we run the 'runInstaller' we get the following:

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking installer requirements...

Checking operating system version: must be B.11.23 or B.11.11. Actual B.11.11
Passed


All installer requirements met.

Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2007-06-20_10-24-23AM. Please wait ...
The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation if the user is root.
: No such file or directory

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Regards,
Chad

Hi

I think you might be requried to install this when logged in as oracle. Also might need to have the correct home directory location definced for oracle id in the password file.

I think that is your answer. And as mentioned you should run the installer as the user oracle.

thanks for the response

we created an oracle account then retried to run "runInstaller"

we get the following:

Xlib: connection to "10.5.71.88:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: 10.5.71.88:0

We attempted to export the display but get the same thing

Can anyone shed some light on this?

do you have an X server running on 10.5.71.88?

[chad_c]

Yex X server should be running. 10.5.71.88 is an HPUX11.11 box.

Am logged into 10.5.71.88 as root. Did an su - oracle. Exported the display. Then ran the "runInstaller". Get the following:

Xlib: connection to "10.5.71.88:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display "10.5.71.88:0"

Can anyone shed some light?

How are you connected to the box? are you at a workstation and logged into the server via ssh/telnet? if at a workstation then you need to have an xserver running on the workstation. then the question is what OS are you running on the workstation?
