Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

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 ? .
