This chapter describes how to start Oracle Universal Installer and install the products available on the Oracle Database Companion CD installation media. It contains the following sections:
After completing the tasks in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, follow these general steps to install the Companion CD products:
Consider the following issues:
Installing in interactive or noninteractive mode: The instructions in this chapter are written for interactive installations. If you prefer to perform the installation in noninteractive mode (for example, if your site requires multiple installations) refer to "Installing Oracle Components in Noninteractive Mode" for more information.
Installing in a Different Language: Refer to "Installing and Using Oracle Components in Different Languages" for language considerations.
Follow the procedures described in "Accessing the Installation Software" if you want to install the software from a hard drive or install remotely. If you are copying or directly installing from the installation media, then refer to the instructions in the "Mounting Discs" section.
Depending on the products that you want to install, follow the procedures described in the following sections to complete the installation:
You must install Oracle HTML DB in an Oracle HTTP Server home. If there is no existing Oracle HTTP Server installation, then you can install Oracle HTML DB with Oracle HTTP Server.
Installing Oracle Database 10g Products
If you plan to use Oracle Workflow Server, which is one of the Oracle Database 10g Products, then you must complete the steps in "Preparing Oracle Workflow Server for the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier Installation" before installing the Oracle Workflow middle-tier components. The Oracle Workflow middle-tier components are available with the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products.
Installing Oracle Database 10g Companion Products
This section explains how to install Oracle Workflow middle-tier components.
The Oracle Database Companion CD software is available on the installation media, or you can download it from the Oracle Technology Network Web site.
When you are ready to install the software, you can access it by any one of the following methods:
Download the software to the hard disk
Copy the software from the installation media to the hard disk
Access the software by using a remote drive
Install on a remote computer by using remote access software
On most UNIX-based systems, the disc mounts automatically when you insert it into the disc drive. If the disc does not mount automatically, then perform the procedure described in this section.
To mount a disc:
Switch user to root:
$ su - root
If required, enter a command similar to the following to unmount the currently mounted disc, then remove it from the drive:
# umount /dvd
In this example, /dvd is the mount point directory for the disc drive.
Insert the disc into the disc drive, and then enter a command similar to the following to mount it:
# /usr/sbin/mount -rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /dvd
In this example, /dev/cd0 is the device name of the disc drive and /dvd is the mount point directory.
If Oracle Universal Installer displays the Disk Location screen, then enter the disc mount point directory path.
To continue, refer to one of the following sections:
This section explains how to install Oracle HTML DB by using any one of the following options:
Installing Oracle HTML DB with Oracle HTTP Server: If you select this option, then Oracle HTML DB is installed with Oracle HTTP Server in a new Oracle home.
Installing or upgrading Oracle HTML DB in an existing Oracle HTTP Server home: If you select this option, then depending on the preinstallation conditions, either Oracle HTML DB is installed or the existing Oracle HTML DB installation is upgraded.
To install Oracle HTML DB:
If you are installing from the installation media, then mount the disc if it is not already mounted.
If required, log in as the Oracle software owner user (oracle) and set the DISPLAY environment variable.
Verify that the Oracle Database that you plan to use for Oracle HTML DB is accessible and running.
To start Oracle Universal Installer, enter the following commands:
$ cd /tmp
$ /directory_path/runInstaller
In the preceding command, directory_path is the path of the companion directory on the installation media or the hard drive.
On the Welcome screen, click Next.
If this is the first installation of Oracle products on this system, then Oracle Universal Installer displays the Specify Inventory Directory and Credentials screen. Specify the following information, and then click Next:
Enter the full path of the inventory directory:
Verify that the path is similar to the following, where oracle_base is the value you specified for the ORACLE_BASE environment variable:
oracle_base/oraInventory
Specify operating system group name:
Verify that the group specified is the Oracle Inventory group, oinstall.
On the Select a Product to Install screen, select Oracle HTML DB and then click Next.
On the Select Installation Type screen, select one of the following and then click Next.
Oracle HTML DB and Oracle HTTP Server: Select this option to install Oracle HTML DB with Oracle HTTP Server in a new Oracle home.

See Also: "Oracle Database Requirement" for information about finding the Oracle home. Select each home and search for Apache Standalone. Oracle HTTP Server is listed as Apache Standalone on the Specify Home Details screen |
Click Next.
On the Product-specific Prerequisite Checks screen, check for and correct any errors that may have occurred while Oracle Universal Installer was checking your system. Then, click Next.
When you click Next, a warning message may be displayed. If there is an existing Oracle HTML DB installation, then this message informs you that the database access descriptors (DADs) associated with this installation have insufficient or incorrect values for some of the required directives. This makes them unsuitable for upgrade. If you want to upgrade Oracle HTML DB under these conditions, then you must first fix the problem. If you want to install Oracle HTML DB, then continue with this installation session.
Click OK to continue.
The screen displayed for this installation step depends on whether Oracle HTML DB is to be installed or the existing Oracle HTML DB installation is to be upgraded:
Installing Oracle HTML DB
On the Specify HTML DB Database Details screen, enter the information required to configure Oracle HTML DB.
Host Name
Specify the host name of the system where the database is installed. If the host name is the local host, then enter the name of the computer, not localhost.
Port
Specify the TCP/IP port number for the Oracle Net listener on the database system. The default port number is 1521. To find the default port number for your Oracle Database installation, check its tnsnames.ora file, which by default is located in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
Database Service Name
Specify the database service name for the database in which you want to install the Oracle HTML DB database objects, for example, sales. Alternatively, you can enter the domain name, which is usually the same as the global database name, for example, sales.us.mycompany.com.
To configure Oracle HTML DB, you must install the Oracle HTML DB database objects in a release 9.2.0.3 or later Oracle Database. If you plan to use the 10g release of Oracle HTTP Server, then based on the information that you specify during installation, Oracle Universal Installer automatically creates a database access descriptor (DAD) in the mod_plsql configuration file and directory aliases in httpd.conf, the Oracle HTTP Server configuration file. However, if you plan to use an Oracle9i HTTP Server release 2 installation, then you must create these settings manually by using the postinstallation steps described in Chapter 4.

Enter the name of the tablespace where you want to load the Oracle HTML DB database objects, or accept the default (SYSAUX).
SYS Password
Specify the password for the SYS user in the database.
HTML DB Password
Specify the password that you want to use for the Oracle HTML DB schemas (users), which are created in the database during the installation.
After the installation, you can use this password to connect to Oracle HTML DB as the administrative user. The password that you specify is also used for the HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER schema, which is used by mod_plsql to connect to the database, and for the FLOWS_010600 and FLOWS_FILES schemas.
Confirm HTML DB Password
Enter the password again to verify that you have specified it correctly.
Upgrading an existing Oracle HTML DB installation
On the Specify HTML DB Upgrade Information screen, select the Oracle HTML DB installation that you want to upgrade from the list of available DADs.
When you specify the Oracle HTML DB installation that you want to upgrade, the host name, port, and database service name values are automatically displayed in their respective fields. You cannot change these values. The remaining fields are the same as those displayed on the Specify HTML DB Database Details screen.
Click Next.
On the Summary screen, check the list of products that will be installed, and then click Install.
