When I tried to start OUI using “runInstaller”, first it showed a small window with hostname: hostname
After clicking OK, it showed a dialog box:
As you can see it says “A log of this session is currently saved as: /tmp/Orainstall…. Oracle recommends that if you want to keep this log, you should move it from the temporary location to a more permanent location. Specify a new log location.”
Clicked OK but nothing happened after that, OUI didn’t start the installation.
There was no clue what was happening.
I just wanted to see whether not having entry in /etc/hosts for this host is causing this strange issue. So I added the entry for this host to /etc/hosts file:
<IP> <Fully qualified hostname> <shortname>
THAT’S IT!!
After the change to /etc/hosts, OUI started successfully without showing above dialogs.
Hope this helps….
