Oracle Universal Installer Concepts Guide Release 2.0.1 Part Number A88812-01 |

This chapter describes possible troubleshooting issues.
During the install, the Oracle Universal Installer writes a text file that contains information on:
The installActions.log
is located in the <oraInventory>\logs
directory. It is backed-up as installActions<date>.log.
The Installation Log is used for debugging purposes only. All actions, queries, everything that happens during the install, and all modifications to the target machine are logged in the file.
A sample file is shown below:

Text files are also written in the temp
directory:
<temp>\OraInstall\oraInstall.err <temp>\OraInstall\oraInstall.out
If a problem occurs during the installation, you should look for Java exceptions in these files.
Refer to the Release Notes for information on any Oracle Universal Installer limitations for a particular version.
The most common Oracle Universal Installer errors are listed below:
Make sure you have enough space in the default TEMP
or TMP
directory otherwise the installation will not succeed. The amount of space required depends on the product being installed.
Verify the staging file. There may be runtime errors that the install developer missed which causes the unexpected environment changes.
This is a blanket error catch which catches any runtime errors like NullPointers from libraries. Check if the temp\OraInstall\orainsrall.err has any stack trace. If there is none, the user will have to call support to debug his staging area.
Consider the following restrictions and guidelines when deinstalling, upgrading, or downgrading Oracle Universal Installer:
Make sure the correct version of the JRE is used from the PATH.
If Java cannot run applications from a Sun machine on an NCD X terminal (the Oracle Universal Installer does not start), remove the following file:
$JAVA_HOME/lib/font.properties
X terminal emulators which were tested with the Oracle Universal Installer are listed below:
Refection X 6.2+: Select Settings/Window Manager/ Default Local Window Manager/ Reflection Window Manager. You may also have to select "X terminal desktop."
Reflection X 6.0: Select Connection/New XDMCP Connection/Connection Settings/Direct method/ type host destination and press connect.
If you are deleting an Oracle Home manually without using the Oracle Universal Installer, the products remain registered with the Oracle Universal Installer. You must then simulate a de-install so that all Oracle Universal Installer references are removed.
If the install is canceled:
