This article is intended as a brief guide to installing Oracle Applications (11.5.9) on Enterprise Linux 4.5.The article is based on a server installation with a minimum of 2G swap, secure Linux disabled and the

following package groups installed:

• X Window System• GNOME Desktop Environment• Editors• Graphical Internet• Server Configuration Tools• Development Tools• Administration Tools• System Tools

Alternative base installations may require additional packages to be loaded.

• Download Software• Unpack Files• Hosts File• Set Kernel Parameters• Setup• Installation• Post Installation• Shutdown/Startup• Rapid Installation Wizard Portal

Download Software

Download two additional packages from Metalink Patch 4198954 .

Make sure an appropriate Java JDK (1.3.1) is available on the system.

Unpack Files

First unzip the Oracle patch:unzip p4198954_21_LINUX.zipNext, create a staging area for the Oracle Applications software:mkdir /Stage11icd /Stage11i

Hosts File

The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>

Set Kernel Parameters

Add the following lines to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:kernel.shmmax = 2147483648kernel.shmmni = 100kernel.shmall = 2097152# semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmnikernel.sem = 100 256 100 100fs.file-max = 327679kernel.hostname = testapps01.localdomain #<--- full qualified hostname !!

Setup

The following additional packages are required. Depending on the update/respin version of EnterpriseLinux, the exact package versions and locations may vary.alsa-lib-devel-*audiofile-devel-*compat-db-*compat-gcc-32-3*compat-gcc-32-c++-3*compat-libcwait-2*

For convenience, I wrapped allthe necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single tar file (11i-rh4-rpms.tar), makingsubsequent installations much simpler.rpm -Uvh *.rpmInstall the packages associated with Patch 4198954 :
