Set Up the Stage Area
Download the software from http://edelivery.oracle.com. It comes in zip format

Also the installation software comes in DVD format.

Insert the first DVD labeled Start Here and run adautostg.pl perl script
cd /media/cdrom/Disk1/rapidwiz/perl adautostg.pl and follow the instructions.
The individual disks included in the Release 11i software bundle are labeled as follows:

Start Here - Disk 1

APPL_TOP - Disk n
RDBMS - Disk n
Tools - Disk n
Databases - Disk n

If you are an NLS customer, you should also have the NLS Supplement - Disk n software for
each language (in addition to American English) you plan to install. You should order the NLS
Supplement software and have it available before you begin the installation. Rapid Install
requires this language-specific software to run to completion.

The stage area created by adautostg.pl looks like this: a top-level directory , with
subdirectories startCD, oraApps, oraDB, oraiAS, oraAppDB, and oraNLS/ (only if
required).

No worries, Apache is the problem, once it is fixed you can retry or restart the application
tier
