1 Installing Oracle Web Services Manager

The Oracle Web Services Manager Quick Start Guide can be used with Oracle Web Services Manager either as a standalone installation or as part of a basic installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0).

This chapter provides basic installation procedures for installing Oracle Web Services Manager as part of a basic installation of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0). If you are installing Oracle Web Services Manager as a standalone product, refer to Oracle Web Services Manager Installation Guide for installation instructions.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing Oracle Web Services Manager, ensure that you have read both Chapter 2, "Requirements" and Chapter 3, "Things You Should Know Before Starting the Installation" in the installation guide for your platform (Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows or Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Linux x86). These chapters contain important information with which you must be familiar before you begin the installation so you can avoid potential problems during the installation.

Starting the Oracle Universal Installer

Follow the instructions for starting the Oracle Universal Installer for your platform.

Starting the Oracle Universal Installer on Windows

1. Log in to the computer as a user who is a member of the Windows Administrators group.

2. Insert the disk.

   • CD-ROM users: Insert Oracle Application Server Disk 1 into the CD-ROM drive.

   • DVD-ROM users: Insert Oracle Application Server DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.

3. If your computer supports the auto-run feature the installer launches automatically.

   If your computer does not support the auto run features, you have to start up the installer manually:

   • CD-ROM users: Double-click setup.exe.

   • DVD-ROM users: Double-click setup.exe in the application_server directory.

This launches Oracle Universal Installer, through which you install Oracle Application Server.

Starting the Oracle Universal Installer on Linux

1. If your computer does not mount CD-ROMs or DVDs automatically, you need to set the mount point manually. See "Setting the Mount Point for the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM" in Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Linux x86 for details.

2. Log in as the oracle user.

3. CD-ROM users: Insert Oracle Application Server Disk 1 into the CD-ROM drive.

   DVD-ROM users: Insert the Oracle Application Server DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive.

4. Run the Oracle Universal Installer using the command shown after the notes:

   
   

   Notes: Be sure you are not logged in as the root user when you start the Oracle Universal Installer. The installer gives an error message if you try to run it as the root user. Do not start the installation inside the mount_point directory. If you do, then you may not be able to eject the installation disk. The cd command below changes your current directory to your home directory.

   
   

   CD-ROM:

   prompt> cd
   prompt> mount_point/10.1.3disk1/runInstaller
   
   

   DVD-ROM:

   prompt> cd
   prompt> mount_point/application_server/runInstaller
   
   

This launches Oracle Universal Installer, through which you install Oracle Application Server.
