IF i am installing an additional PIA site to an already existing domain on which one site is already up and running
(webserver BEA WEBLOGIC 9.2 MP1
OS SOLARIS 10)
is it necessary to shutdown the running webserver domain to install this new PIA site
using ./setup.solaris under PSHOME/setup/PsMpPIAInstall/

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks a lot for putting this together here. I am getting the below error while logging in to PIA.

This is the error in tuxedo log.

===============================

I am installing tools 8.48 and 8.9 HRMS on SuSe Linux . Weblogic is 8.1.

I also tweaked the ipc parameters.

Can you please share your thoughts ?

Hi Nicholas,

I found a work around for LIBTUX_CAT:669 tuxedo error. There is some issue with the JSH in 64 bit Suse Linux 10 ( not a supported platform ).
Here is what i did.
1) Check your clients local time settings and set it to match with the server to avoid connection expired error right at login.

2) Install tuxedo and webserver in windows client ( i am able to run it in windows XP which is again not a supported config ) and try connecting to your database server.
Remember to modify the equivalent of /etc/hosts in windows and connect to the dbase.

3) Add your C:\ORACLE\product\client\BIN path to PATH variable in Windows environmental variables in my computer. you may get libpsora :invalid version of oracle binaries error while booting appserver.
Thanks for your great effort in putting this blog together,
Raghu

Could you please give some more information weather are you installing on windows or Unix/linux and your version of application etc..

Hi Nicholas,

I installed People Tools 8.48, then Finance 9.0 application, created database and ran the necessary scripts, Installed weblogic 9.2, then Tuxedo 9.1, when i try to install PIA i get the error " WARNING: The entered web server root directory is either invalid or incorrect version. Pleaase try again. The required web server version is Weblogic 8.15 SP5", while pointing to weblogic. Kindly assist. Thanks in advance.

Prashant said...

Hi
The error that you got is either due to invalid webserver directory or unsupported webserver version.
As per PT8.48 Release notes, BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP5 is supported. Using a later Weblogic and Tuxedo Version could be an issue. Try installing BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP5 and Tuxedo 8.1. Hope it helps.
