9 Installing Oracle Collaboration Suite on a Single Computer

Although Oracle recommends that you install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Applications on different computers for better performance, you can perform a Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Applications installation on a single computer also.

You can perform the Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Applications installation on a single computer in the following ways:

Section 9.1, "Using Basic Installation for Single-Computer Installation"
Section 9.2, "Using Advanced Installation for Single-Computer Installation"

9.1 Using Basic Installation for Single-Computer Installation

Perform the steps listed in Table 9-1 to install Oracle Collaboration Suite on one computer using the Basic installation method.

Note:

Oracle Universal Installer uses the /etc/hosts file to determine the host name. The host name that you specified in the hosts file may or may not be fully qualified. However, host names that are not fully qualified may not be usable outside the domain.

For example, if the fully-qualified domain name for a server is myserver.acme.uk, and the hosts file only registers the name myserver, then clients in the acme.co.uk domain have no trouble communicating with this host. However connections made by users in the acme.co.de domain may fail.

Also, ensure that the host name that you specify corresponds exactly to the host name you have, whether fully qualified or not.

Note:

The information displayed at the end of the installation is also available in the $ORACLE_HOME/install/setupinfo.txt file. This file contains summarized information about Oracle Collaboration Suite and links to the URLs.

9.2 Using Advanced Installation for Single-Computer Installation

This section contains the following topics:

Section 9.2.1, "Starting Single-Computer Installation"
Section 9.2.2, "Performing Single-Computer Installation"

9.2.1 Starting Single-Computer Installation

To perform Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Applications installation on a single computer, you must first start the Oracle Universal Installer. Refer to Section 3.4 for more details.

Note:

Also, ensure that the host name that you specify corresponds exactly to the host name you have, whether fully qualified or not.

9.2.2 Performing Single-Computer Installation

Perform the steps listed in Table 9-2 to install Oracle Collaboration Suite on a single computer.

Note:

You will not be prompted for an e-mail domain during this installation. This is because the e-mail domain is defaulted to the system on which you are performing the single-computer installation.
