Hello ,

I am testing my upgrade process from 10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.3 on a Solaris 64 bits SPARC Server .

But i get this message , which does not allow me to go on with the 11.2 installation  .



INS-32008: Oracle base location cant be same as the user home directory.
Cause: The specified Oracle base is same as the user home directory.
Action: Provide an Oracle base location other than the user home directory.


My $HOME is the same of my ORACLE_BASE . 

I  dod not undestand why it is a blocking issue .   I cannot see any problems with this .

Does anybody faced the problem in the community ? How did you manage with it ? .

Howdy, Stranger!
