hi,
i have a problem with the installation of Oracle 9i for the past 4 days. The first day, my friend installed the 9i. The installation was successful. But he forgot the password wat he gave. So he uninstalled it & again he started installing. but the second time the installation failed. So again he uninstalled the, and he cleared the registers(hope u all know very well). Again third time the installation failed.
On saturday we tried out for the fourth time by clearing all the previous registers. The installation was successful. The DB installation started after giving the password & the user name. But the database installation failed.The DB installation ended at 100%(value which varies from 0 to 100%) and the system hanged out for 3 hours.
Wat should I do now..? I have also installed MICROSOFT .NET 2003, J2EE, JAVA, BORLAND C++ 4.52. My RAM memory is 256MB DDR.
Need ur help. Thanks in advance.
satyan.

First, I agree with ginish, make sure installation is workable before taking time to uninstall and install again. And installation may have been ok but db creation bad, in which case you can create another db.
But, if you do need to reinstall, and this is your only oracle product on your machine, you have to make sure that you delete every single registry entry. Some of them will try to hide with names like "orcl" and "ora" (in addition to "oracle") but search for all of those and delete everything oracle related. Then make sure to delete all program file files on hard drive, oracle folder and any others. And the temp folder on your pc, clear it out completely as oracle installation stores stuff there as well. Literally must be very thorough in your deletion. Only then attempt the reinstall.

hi,
I have done the following thing after the uninstallation. I jus opened registers window, there I found a Oracle folder. I jus right clicked it and deleted. As you people said, I have to check for the folders named ora, orac..etc.. But I didnt checked the temp folder in the C drive.
Also I dont have any backup for the things I have in my PC. So its difficult for me to format the disk.
Can you jus tell how much time it will take for the DB installation..?
If possible, you jus tell me how to install..ie from the first step for installing the enterprise edition.
waiting for ur reply.

Hi
DB installtion do takes up ard 40-45 mins under normal circumstances (my observations on win xp 256mb ram p4 2.4 ghz machine).
As for installation, after removing all oracle components & clearing the registry, you can proceed with it, in the same way as you had carried earlier installations.

Just curious, but is there a reason you are choosing to install 9i over 10g? If you are just starting out with a new system, typically best to go with the latest version. Also 10g installs more easily and the process is faster than on 9i.
It is also a good idea to read the full installation guide for the platform you are choosing. There is a windows guide as part of the standard oracle documentation.

As I said earlier, I cleared all the registers as soon as I uninstalled 9i. But today morning I checked the registers for further entries as you quoted. But I found none. And I checked in the C drive. I found the temp folder in C:\Windows\temp and I searched for Ora and Orcl. I found only the Temp folder. Also I found Oracle folder in C drive.
First I deleted the Oracle folder from the C drive.
Next I tried to delete the temp folder. Except one file, the other things are deleted. The file contained the details of my system with extension .syslog. I opened that file in notepad & I found these details. wat should I do now..?

I am new to Oracle. Jus now I am learning 9i.Thatsy I prefer to install 9i. I dont have 10g cd's.
Thanks for the reply.

Hmm, can you download the 10g version? Is your internet connection at work or home fast enough? On 10g, it is only one cd to download (3 cds on 9i I think).
But, if you are new and just learning from scratch, you really would be better off in the long run to start learning with 10gR1 rather than 9iR2. Documentation is also better in 10g, and so is the installation process, much faster/easier.
Also, the base version of 10gR1, 10.1.0.2, is much more stable and has many fewer critical bugs in it than the base version of 9iR2 (9.2.0.1) that you would be installing. For this reason, unless you are paying for support and metalink, you are more likely to run into functionality problems, even after you get it installed, on 9i than on 10g.
Also, if you try to install again and run into problems, you need to re-delete everything between each installation attempt. Especially the orainstall files and folders oracle leaves in your temp directory.

hi all,
Atlast I finished installing Oracle 9i successfully.. It took almost 2.5 hours. But I have some doubts regarding the installation..
I have given the following things during the installation.
GLOBAL DB NAME : SATYAN
SID : SATYAN
After a few mins, a window opened withe details of the above as
DB NAME : SATYAN
SYSTEM IDENTIFIER : SATYAN.
and some other related informations. It asked to save these informations as HTML file.
Then I gave the following things like,
SYS PASSWORD : ******
CONFIRM PASSWORD : ******
SYSTEM PASSWORD : ******
CONFIRM PASSWORD : ******
SERVICE NAME : SATYAN.
After the installation is over(including DB), I tried to log in the sql Plus.
I gave the user name, password, host string as
satyan, ******, satyan.
But login failed. Again I tried with system, admin, agin login failed.
I got an error message.
SQL EXCEPTION ENCOUNTERED.
REASON : ORA-010170.
LOGIN FAILED INVALID USERNAME/PASSWORD
Then I opened the Enterprise Manager. In that, I found various options & I found a User option. I right clicked that and created a user name with my name, password, host string.
Then the login was success.
Can anyone tell me, why I got these kind of errors.
satyan.

HI
Congrats for success at last!!!!
Hey now since you have got the db installed, I would advise is that you start going through oracle documents now & proceed step-by-step. Get yourself registered at otn.oracle.com & make use of available documentation there.
Error in login was due to this reason:
"satyan" is your database name & not a user in database.
Now from the OEM console since you created a new user, the login was successful with that.
All the best!!!

I traced out the problem. When I start my system, various processes are handled in the task manager. Once those process terminates, Oracle is logging in. I checked out this yesterday night.
Anyway thanks for your reply.

Pardon me?Do you mean your Oracle services are in automatic start form? Make the start mode manual and then let me know what happens.
BTW I did not understand these,please explain more:| Quote: |

Achchan:
I dont know whether it is auto start form or not. But I will explain you about the quoye you asked. When I opened the Task Manager, I found some of these processes transfers data like Java 17Mb, Oracle 30Mb, SVGhost 20Mb, Apache 30Mb and many other things. Once some of these things terminates, the Oracle is logging in automatically. It takes exactly 15 minutes.
I dont know any other things. If possible reply.
Satyan.

Hi,
Go to control Panel>Administrative tools>Services
and now look at the services with names begin with Oracle.
Click on services which you do not want to run and choose manual option for them.This way you can start them whenever you want and they do not start automatically.
2 serivices you need to work with database engine of Oracle are :OracleService<your_SID> and Oracle<your_homeName>TNSListener.
For now stop other services such as http Apache server which I do not think you want to use them just now.
You can make all oracle servieces manual and then create a batch file with this content and execute it whenever you want to use oracle:
net start OracleService<your_SID>
net start Oracle<your_homeName>TNSListener
-Best wishes
