Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Need help installing Oracle on HP-UX / executing a unix script!
What I do in this instance is su root; mkdir /var/opt/oracle ; chown oracle
/var/opt/oracle; chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle;
then execute the script by cd /cdrom/oracle805/orainst; . ./orainst.sh
These commands should help you out.
