My Machine & OS:

• HP Proliant DL385 (AMD 64bit)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ES

I cannot run my Oracle 10g Application Server installation. If i install on 32bit, i did not see error msg as below. It can proceed.
I hope somebody can help on my thread. It's urgent! I need to up my Oracle 10g application server by next week.

Error as below:

On a 64-bit Linux operating system, Oracle Applicaton Server 10g needs 32-bit emulation mode in this release. Please set 32-bit emulation mode by running following command and restart the installation.
# linux32 bash

I haven't installed Oracle 10g on a 64 bit platform, but I have it running on 32 bit Slackware 10.2 and Fedora Core 4 platforms. I used the info at http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10g.shtml and found it very helpful.

I have try install Oracle 10g on RHEL 4 ES 32bit, it works.
But on this project implementation they want to install Oracle 10g on RHEL 4 ES 64bit. Thats why i having problem on this cases. If got anything can guide me, please tell me k! Hope can hear from you.

Can i run RHEL 4 ES 32bit on my HP Pro Liant DL385 (AMD 64bit)?

This will not help you directly but could be of interest.

this is a link to a podcast feed from the oracle technical network, it contains inside information.

tqvm

p/s: i just got a DELL PE1950 and plan to make it testbed (that would be 64bit on Intel not AMD) but havent start anything yet.

i already solve my problem OAS 10g runs on RHEL ES 4!
now i using HP Proliant DL385 with RHEL 4ES (32bit)

--> i u guys got same problem like, please msg here. Hope i can help 2 guys.

hi,
my installation (oas 10gr2 forms and reports services) on dell pe1950 went ok. it was also ok on the ibm e326m. some points which would be valuable to share
o/s: rhel as4 update 4 - custom install. select x win system, gnome dsktop env, dev tools and compatibility arch support only. i also have to rpm install the glibc-devel for i386 and sysstat (from disk4) else oas install will complaint. the others - safe to follow rh's install guide. for firewall and selinux - it's up to you to enable/not.
oas: fulfill the requirement as guided. ie: creating oinstall grp, the shell limits, env variables, staticports.ini - if you like to use port 80/443 for http/https. next "linux32 bash" before execute the runInstaller.
you could also refer to the many avail docs on setting kernel parameters and modify necessarily before start installating. i anyway fire up the installation and take note of the required values for kernel the parameters. i then quit the installation, do the cleaning - /etc/ora*, the oraInventory and $ORACLE_FR (where the oas's files located). then only i modify the kernel parameter followed by sysctl -p. finally proceed with oas installation again.
suprisingly the second round of installtion went smoothly in less than 15 mins (it depends on the hware though). hope this helps. tqvm.

I think the most reliable way in such situation is to install 64-bit oracle on 64-bit system. It's availbele for download on their website.
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux...x86_64.cpio.gz
It will give you two big advantages is a possibility to use server with 8Gb RAM. And it will give you palpable increase of performance.

hi, you're right. anyway, as i understood oracle only distribute 32-bit software for the application server (oas) 10g release 2 on linux.

the url you gave is for the database.

You can get the Oracle cpio file from this url as below:

hi,

I am facing the same problem while installing Oracle IAS 10g on 64 bit server.

Please share me the workaround for this:
I dont know while oracle provide any 64 bit software for Oracle IAS 10g or we have to use the same 32 bit software.

If you have done the same for 32 bit software then please share me the procedure

Thanks

Open your own thread, please. This thread is TWO YEARS OLD, and belonged to someone else.

If you're having problems, read the previous posts, and follow the links/instructions provided in them. If they don't work, it's probably because they're TWO YEARS OLD as well. Contact Oracle, or search their knowledgebase.

if the oracle ias is 64-bit (too like the o/s) then i guess you wouldn't face this problem.

what you need to do (besides making sure the other requirements are fulfilled) is to issue "linux32 bash" first on the shell prompt before execute the runInstaller

Guys,

What is the correct solution for Issue with Oracle struggling with 64 Bit?
Anyone who has tried out with the solution.

which oracle product you're referring to --- the database or application server or ...?

as of my experience, oracle application server available only (at least what i have is just the) 32-bit version. i installed on 64-bit o/s by open up a xterm window, issue 'linux32 bash' at the shell prompt and then run the 'runInstaller'

for oracle database installation, the best is to get oracle database 64-bit version (to match the 64-bit o/s) and simply go 'runInstaller'. if somehow you just have only the 32-bit version then i believe you must do 'linux32 bash' first. the install documentation must have addressed this clearly.
