Oracle Tips by Burleson

Installing Oracle HTTP Server

The Oracle HTTP Server cannot be installed into an existing Oracle Home.  If another Oracle product is installed on the computer, a new Oracle Home name and location for the Oracle HTTP Server Home will have to be chosen.

These instructions also assume access to the Oracle 10g Release 2 Companion CD.  The same instructions can applied to the 10g Release 1 Companion CD, but there will be some minor differences.  The CD can be obtained from Oracle or downloaded from otn.oracle.com.  After downloading it, unzip the files and follow the instructions below.  The following link is to the Oracle 10g download site:

1.       Start the Oracle Universal Installer on the Oracle 10gR2 Companion CD.

• Windows: setup.exe 

•  Linux: ./runInstaller

2.       At the Welcome screen, click Next.

3.       On the Select a Product to Install screen, select the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products 10.2.0.1.0 option and click Next.

4.       On the Specify Home Details screen, enter the following for the Destination then click Next.

• Name: OHS_HOME

• Path:

o       Windows: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\ohs 

o       UNIX/Linux: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/ohs

This may change if a different directory structure is used or if the software is installed to a different hard drive.

5.       On the Available Product Components screen, select only the ApacheStandalone 10.1.2.0.0 option.  For installation using the 10g release 1 CD, this will be Apache Standalone 9.0.4.0.0.  Do not install the HTML DB software at this time.  Choosing the HTML DB option would install HTML DB version 1.6 and instructions for installation of version 2.0 are included in the next chapter.  After making the proper selections click Next.

6.       The next screen is the Product-Specific Prerequisite Checks.  Verify the status of the items show as Succeeded then click Next.

7.       The next screen will be the Summary screen describing all the software to be installed.  Click on the Install button. Towards the end of the installation, a screen displays for the Configuration Assistants.  Allow that screen to complete.

8.       When the installation is complete, there will be an End of Installation screen.  It might be handy to print this screen as a reference.  At the very least, note the URL shown in the text.  It will be similar to: http://localhost:7777.  localhost:7777 will be referenced throughout the examples in this book.  Whenever a reference to localhost.7777 appears, the user’s domain:port should be substituted.
