2 Installation Issues

2.1.1 Asian Languages Do Not Display Correctly with Java 5.0

Asian language characters including Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese are not displayed on SuSE platform due to lack of support of JDK.

To resolve this issue, you can modify the font properties/config files. Refer to the following Sun Microsystems Java Web site URL for details:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html

However, both Sun and Oracle do not support these modifications and if you need support, then you will need to reproduce the product functional errors with an unaltered JDK.

2.1.2 Installer Screen Titles Do Not Display in Some Locales

The titles do not display on some of the installer screens if you are using one of the following locales:

• zh_TW.big5

• zh_TW.eucTW

• ru_RU.utf8

2.1.3 Port Conflict When Oracle WebCenter Framework and Oracle Content DB are Installed on the Same Machine

If Oracle WebCenter Framework and Oracle Content DB are installed on the same machine, you may see a message in opmn.log that is similar to the following:

06/06/07 06:22:52 [ons-connect] Passive connection 127.0.0.1,6100 missing connect

To check whether these links exist:

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc

Check if the gcc and cc commands are symbolic links, for example:

gcc -> /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc
cc -> /opt/gcc295/bin/gcc

This is due to a port conflict. To correct this problem, perform the following steps:

1. Open the DB_ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/ons.config file for editing.

2. Set the localport to a port other than 6100. For example:

   localport=7100
   
   

3. Restart the database listener:

   DB_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop
   DB_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start
   
   

4. Restart the Oracle WebCenter Framework instance:

   opmnctl stopall
   opmnctl startall
   
   

2.1.4 Installation Failure for Turkish Locale

The following installation types will fail with the Turkish locale:

• Basic Installation

• Advanced Installation: Oracle WebCenter Framework with Oracle HTTP Server

• Advanced Installation: Oracle WebCenter Framework

This is because Oracle WebCenter Framework Configuration Assistant fails with the following errors:

ERROR:  'Instruction unknown: load?nstruction'
FATAL ERROR:  'Could not compile stylesheet

For all installation types, the component toolbox on the Configuration Assistants page of Oracle Universal Installer is not displayed properly for the Turkish locale.

Oracle recommends that you avoid running the Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle Application Server using the Turkish locale.

2.2.1 Length Restrictions on Content Database Schema Password is Incorrect in the Oracle Universal Installer Online Help

The following topic in the Application Server Control online help incorrectly states the valid length of the Content Database schema password when installing Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.2):

• "Specify Content Database Schema Password"

The length of the Content Database schema password must be between 5 and 30 characters long.
