Fixing R12.1.3
This is a part of the post of how to install R12.1.3 from a VM template.
This post describes various fixes to the R12.1.3 functional and technical content of the VM template.
BNE UIX Physical Directory is not configured
When trying to use WebADI you get the error:
BNE_UIX_PHYSICAL_DIRECTORY is not configured
In R12.1.3 and R12.2 the profile options “BNE UIX Physical Directory” should be left empty. For a VISION installation this is set for some strange reason.
Clear system profile option: BNE UIX Physical Directory
and bounce apps server as per below:
Stop apps: adstpall.sh apps/apps
Start apps: adstrtal.sh apps/apps
FTP on apps VM server
This does only work on the APPS server and does not work on the DB server.
Login as root
On apps server run:
yum -y install vsftp*
Open the configuration file located at /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and find the line that has:
#write_enable=YES
remove the # to enable the line and then find the following line:
#local_enable=YES
remove the # to enable the line and then save the file.
Now we need to restart the ftp server to activate the changes:
service vsftpd restart
The local system users should be able to log in and transfer file to the FTP server.
VM Template password nag
Each time you login as oracle or root you will be asked to change your password.
After answering NO then at the prompt do:
touch .passchanged
That will stop the nag…
