iFs on Solaris/8.1.6

3004

I am trying to run the final script ifssetup as root after installing and configuring iFS this is the error that I am receiving.

---------------------------------------------

lbdev-db-1 4# ifssetup
Setting up iFS jws directory
Enter the password for the iFS schema named ifssys: ifssys
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

Invalid password specified or Oracle 8i database not running.
Some control files need to be updated with the iFS schema
password to bring up the iFS Java Web Server. Please rerun
/usr/local/server/oracle/product/8.1.6/ifs/bin/ifsjwssetup with the correct iFS
schema password to use JWS.

Tyson,

After you login as root, do an env to verify that your Oracle environment variables are set correctly. It sounds like the ORACLE_SID is not set.

I login as the oracle unix user, then do a 'su'. This will retain your environment so you can start all the services as root.

Hope this helps.
