This chapter describes issues associated with Oracle WebLogic Server installation and configuration. It includes the following topic:

11.1 Installation Issues and Workarounds

This section describes the issues with WebLogic Server installation and workarounds. It includes the following topic:

11.1.1 Issue with Oracle WebLogic Server Upgrade Installation

The Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 installer does not download the Sybase JDBC drivers. When you try to upgrade an existing WebLogic Server 10.3 installation using the latest installer, it does not remove the Sybase jar files from the original installation. The installer upgrades only the weblogic.jar file.

The Sybase jar files (jconn2.jar, jconn3.jar, and jConnect.jar) in the /server/lib or /server/ext/jdbc/sybase directories are removed from the manifest classpath in the upgraded weblogic.jar file. Therefore, if the classpath of a WebLogic Server application does not include Sybase jar files and only includes weblogic.jar then after the upgrade installation, the application will throw ClassNotFoundException.

To work around this issue, explicitly add Sybase jar files in the WebLogic Server application classpath.

11.2 Configuration Issues and Workarounds

This section describes the WebLogic Server configuration issues and workarounds.

11.2.1 Configuration Wizard Password Does Not Allow Special Characters

Depending on your country local, special characters may not be recognized when trying to input and confirm the password when using the Configuration Wizard.

Workaround

Copy the problematic characters into the clipboard and paste them into the password fields. For security reasons, do not copy the entire password into the clipboard.
