2902528May 5 2015 — edited May 7 2015

While installing obiee 11g, I get "inst-08072 operating system does not support ipv4" error. I changed hosts file and defined a loopback adapter.

But still it is not working. Do you have any supposal for the problem?

what is your OS? which version of OBIEE are you trying to install? did you install loopback adapter? generally this will occur in 2 cases which i have seen personally, if the right  loopback adapter is not installed or not configured and hosts files is not configured properly. i would suggest you to re-visit them once again and see.

you can also try to install loopback adapter from here https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(v=ws.10).aspx  for configuration follow this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708341(v=ws.10).aspx 

how does your hosts file look? can you paste the contents here for eg: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx hostname localhost

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

       ::1             localhost

       127.0.0.1        localhost

       192.168.2.103     server1         localhost

Hi,

I too face the same error. Could you please tell me whether I really need to install & Configure Loopback adapter and update host file as I NEVER plan to connect my laptop to INTERNET anytime in future.

If yes, please tell the IP and Subnet Mask or any other details for loopback adapter configuraion.

And how should the host file be updated ?

You can visit https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(v=ws.10).aspx link for installing loopback adapter.

Anyway, hosts file is under c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder.

Finally, don't forget to check if you entered correct pwds.
