3 Installing the Oracle Database Companion CD Software

This chapter describes how to start Oracle Universal Installer and install and remove the products available on the Oracle Database Companion CD.

This chapter contains these topics:

3.1 Introduction

The software described in this chapter is available on CD-ROM. You use the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by Oracle Universal Installer to install or remove the software.

Do not use Oracle Universal Installer from an earlier release to install components from this release.

The Oracle Database Companion CD contains two installation types:

If you install Oracle Database 10g Products, Oracle Universal Installer installs all the products available with this installation type. You can choose which products to install and whether you want to install in a new Oracle home or use an existing one. Depending on the products that you want to install or remove, follow the instructions in one of the following sections:

3.2 Installing Oracle Database 10g Products

You must install Oracle Database 10g Products in an existing Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) Oracle home.

    To configure Oracle HTML DB, you must install the Oracle HTML DB database objects in an Oracle database. The database that you choose must be a release 9.2.0.3 or later database. If you plan to use an Oracle 10g database, the Oracle Universal Installer automatically creates a database access descriptor (DAD) in the mod_sql configuration file and directory aliases in the Oracle HTTP Server configuration file, based on the information you enter during installation. However, if you plan to use a 9.2.0.3 or later database (but not 10g), you need to create these settings manually by using procedure described in the postinstallation steps in Chapter 4.

    To configure Oracle HTML DB, specify the following information:

    • Hostname

      Specify the host name of the system where the database is installed. If the host name is the local host, 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.

    • Database Service Name

    • 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 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 ADMIN 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_010500 and FLOWS_FILES schemas.

    • Confirm HTML DB Password

      Enter the password again to verify that you have specified it correctly.

    • TABLESPACE Name

      Enter the name of the tablespace where you want to load the Oracle HTML DB database objects, or accept the default (SYSAUX).

  11. On the Summary screen, check the list of products that will be installed, and click Install.

  12. On the End of Installation screen, make a note of the URLs that Oracle HTTP Server will use.


    Note:

    These URLs are also listed in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\setupinfo.txt file.

  13. Click Exit and then click Yes to exit from the Oracle Universal Installer.

  14. Optionally, delete the temp\OraInstalldate_time directory if you want to remove the temporary files that were created during the installation process. The OraInstalldate_time directory holds about 45 MB of files.
