At first - please open 'runinstaller' file (it is SHELL script) and look at the line 150. If there is something related to java,  you probably need to check your java installation. Unfortunately, Oracle is very sensitive on java type and version. Even on different architectures, the same version of java may work or not (eg. the same java may be OK for i386, but won't work for x86_64.)

mzalfres:
I already have opened runInstaller script and on 150 line says:
/install/runInstaller  wich is a bin file with the same name as the script.
its on this line where shows me the message:

 /oracle/oas/Disk1/install/runInstaller: Input/output error

something interesting is that on the same directory /install all the executable files as: run Installer, unzip and others when I try to run it tell me the same message:

/oracle/oas/Disk1/install/unzip: Input/output error

When I install Oracle Database on the same server I change unzip file by /bin/unzip from Linux, and it works, but here the runInstall wich is the bin file I cannot change it.

any Ideas?

This sounds like permissions issue.

Make sure you unzip the files as the oracle user. Ensure oracle user has umask set to 022.

make sure the /tmp file is writeable by oracle user and has adequate space.

rolutola:

1. The user is the oracle user.
2. Im gonna check umask on 022.
3. how can I check /tmp space?

more info: Oracle App Server 10g is 32bit software, I have Fedora 10 with 64 bit.
there r many 32 bit libraries wich I must to install, u think this fact wolud consider as
a reason 4 my issue?

more data: When I launch ./runInstall file wich is a script this looks for a unzip file wich comes into installations files, this file shows em an error, if u use a /etc/unzip file it works fine.

 

by: rolutolaPosted on 2009-07-31 at 09:38:22ID: 24990420

Is this still an issue?

 

by: latorreconsultoresPosted on 2009-07-31 at 11:39:09ID: 24991295

Yes, te issue still there.

If u tried to run any executable file with comes with installations files, the sentence: Input Output error it apears

 

by: latorreconsultoresPosted on 2009-07-31 at 11:42:41ID: 24991327

do u think this issue it is because the Linux is 64 bit and OAS is 32 bit?

 

by: rolutolaPosted on 2009-07-31 at 14:03:19ID: 24992428

Try 2 things

1. Try getting new copy of the installation files and use cpio to unpack it correctly.
2. If you get the same problem, try restarting the server. I know it sounds drastic, but try doing that if you can and try again.

R.

Im gonna delete the installation files and try to unpack again the installation files :)
