Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Installing Oracle on UNIX
You have to run the installer for the new version of Oracle. It should be on the CD (or the directory you copied the cd to)

We have oracle 8.1.6 installed on our SUN server .As part of the upgrade process to 8.1.7 (we decided to install into a new HOME)- I staged the 2 CD's into one of our free disks (not the existing oracle home) .Now to run the Installer - I took the following steps:
cd $ORACLE_HOME ( obviously the existing home 8.1.6) ./runInstaller
This brings up the installer - but when I get to the screen where I need to select the source and the destination for the new oracle home - It doesn't allow me to select the NEW staging area or the NEW Oracle Home destination - where I want the new software .I cannot even browse to the new source /destination locations ??
Any help to figure this out will be appreciated !!
