Hi Support,
Can I use my XP box to install virtual box and which set of intallation do I need to follow?

Kind Regards,
Hepaau123

Yes virtualbox could be installed on XP.
Just follow the new set of vidoes (category: 03) and you should be all set.

Thanks for the information. Actually I followed Category 03 instruction. It went smoothly until install EBS and I got following errors. So, I removed all my installation (including Virtualbox) and trying to follow Category 04 (old) to install again. In my first installation (With Virtualbox – category 03) I noticed I can’t open internet browser. I used Firefox browser. Please let me know whether I need to go back to category 03 and how can I fix following issues?
1. HTTP
a) Check URL = http://linux.server:8000
b) RW-50015: Error Listerner is not responsing.
c) The service might not have started on the port yet.
2. VIRTUAL Directory
a) RW-50015 Error - Http Server Virtual Directories is not responding.
b) The service might not have started on the port yet.

3. Login Page
a) RW-50015 – Login page is not responding . The service might not have started on the port yet.
4. Help Page
a) Checking URL = http:/linux.server:8000/OA_HTML/help
b) RW-50015: Error – Help Page is not responding.
c) The service might not have started on the port yet.
5. JSP

Hi Support,
I have reinstall vertual box and linux according to the Category 03 videos and sucessfully created stage and verified md5_results.txt all OK. I can ping the vrtual server IP from host but not as linux.server
my question is, how do I verify at this stage my other setups are OK not to get above error messages again upon EBS intallation. Please help I am awaiting yor reply before proceed to install EBS.

If you are doing the re-installation then that is fine. I will let you do that and will not attend your list of errors at this point.
About your second question, if you are 100% sure about the md5sum check then that is all you can do at this point. Also verify you have installed the required linux packages. That is it. If the post installation check fails then we will deal with it at that point. Log files will tell you what is going on. But if you have followed the instructions to the core should not have an issue.
You can only ping your linux box using IP at this point until you add an entry in Windows hosts file.

Thanks for your quick responds. I'll continue my installation steps as you advice and let you know if I hit a brick wall again.

I installed Oracle Packages and tried to EBS last night and got same post installation error as listed above again. please help.

Can you please provide some information to sort out above 5 issues? I'm trying to install EBS last 3 weeks without any luck so far. my Network setup is Host only.

Please help. Don't know what to do next.

First thing I would like to verify is the output of md5sum. I know you did the check and all is OK. Please update the file.
Next I would like to verify if you have installed the two linux packages and have created the soft link.

Please confirm. Thanks.

Please find attached md5_result.txt, Yes I installed two linux packages and soft link as explained in the video.

I have rerun the rpm commands and system confirmed that it is already there.same with soft link command

Ok thanks. This rules out all common issues.
Now lets try to find out what is wrong with your installation.
I would like to confirm if database side of services are coming up nicely.
Could you please start the database service and then the listener using the commands as shown in the video.
addbctl.sh start
addlnctl.sh start PROD

Please paste the output. Thanks.

Please find output files as attached

please find attached file

Please note that still I am in Post-Install checks state in my installation process

Yes I know you are at post-install check. That is ok. We will try to manually start the services and see what is the problem.

Looks like database and listener are running fine.

Now please post the output of the following command to start application server side services as shown in the videos. Thanks.

adstrtal.sh apps/apps

please find attached file for output.

Please stop the services first and then restart them so that a clean output file is produced.

adstpall.sh apps/apps
adstrtal.sh apps/apps

Please post the output of the second command.

please find the attachment for output file
