download of Oracle Developer Day.ova not working

972876

I'm trying to download the above file to my iMac osx Mountain Lion. I've already downloaded the Virtual Box. When I login for the download, it opens a big text file with lots of liscensing stuff. There's nothing to click to agree so I can get the file, just the big file of legalese. What am I missing?

Are you following all of the instructions here - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.html

Yes I followed the instructions. They're very simple. VirtualBox downloaded w/o any issues. The .ova file opens rather than downloading. What do you suggest?

Did you verify the integrity of the download file using the md5sum checksum ? If so, you might want to post in the VM forum - 3825

Srini, Thanks for trying to help me with this. Still no success downloading the .ova file for the Database App Devemopment VM. Shouldn't the file just download, I don't need to see the inside of it. I'm on a Mac running Mountain Lion. Is that an issue?

Here's a sample of what I get when I click on the download link: Oracle_DB_Developer_Day.ovf�������������������������������������������������������������������������0000600�0000000�0000000�00000307437�12044005561�0016013�0����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ustar �someone�������������������������someone����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������<?xml version="1.0"?>

I'm assuming you are trying to download http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/virtualbox/dd/Oracle_Developer_Day.ova using Safari ? If so, try to save the file to your computer first. After the download completes successfully, verify checksums before proceeding.

So Safari was the problem. I downloaded Firefox to my Mac and was able to copy the .ova file to my computer w/o it opening or doing anything strange. Thank YOU SO MUCH!!!
