RE: Upgrade and it says it doesn't need it
Unfortunately - this is what I'm having a problem with. I did install with OUI. The log files from that installation are in the oraInventory directory. Subsequently, I installed some client software (precompilers) on the machine. The oraInventory only shows the client installation, not the real server. And...I have confirmed - the oraInst.loc file does correctly point to the oraInventory directory. It just looks as though the installer process didn't update the oraInventory correctly. Now I'm afraid I'm Screwed on the upgrade! -Original Message- Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 9:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I'm guessing that the 9.0.1.0 server software was not installed using the Oracle installer? Did you tar it over from somewhere else? For a server installed using the installer, you'll find a file in /var/opt/oracle named oraInst.loc, which contains the name of the directory containing the Oracle Universal Installer's oraInventory directory.
