Just a quick entry this time, not because I don't have anything to say, just because I reckon installing Beekeeper 1.4.1 will be so easy...
Here we go. Extract the installer, run it, plug in the Oracle Home, database location and credentials, hit GO.
I was going to get some screenshots for you, but by the time I jumped to my other screen to open "Grab" (my Mac screenshot program) to jump back and get a screen shot, it was too late...
All I got was this.
The installer had finished, and was now 1/2 way through the config.
So now as I write this and try to remember how to upload images, it's probably already finished config...let me check.
hmm. ok. One slight issue.. the config screen has fallen in a heap. OK. So not quite... the "Oracle Beekeeper Framework Deployment" failed, lets retry (I always retry straight away just incase it's a glitch), nup, failed.
I'm sure that's not what it's meant to do. Time for some investimigating...
Looking at the output in the configwizard shows you to the error log $OC4J_HOME/log/oc4j/diagnostics.log which I would interpret as $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/log,etc,etc.
Oh, easy one.
oracle.ocs.management.config.OcsConfigException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: $ORACLE_HOME/beehive/conf/beehiveconfig.xml (Too many open files)
what's my files limit?
[orabee@radium ~]$ ulimit -n
1024
Yep, that'd do. Especially since this is the same user/server as my main Beehive install.
Quick jaunt into /etc/security/limits.conf as root and we're back on track. Obviously I can't continue the installer with the current limits. So time to cancel and start again.
Just a few tips before jumping back into it...
- If you're on a VNC connection, make sure you've got the correct limits before restarting the installer so you don't hit the error again,
- and don't forget, OPMN was started with the old limits, so that needs to go down and come up with the correct limits.

OK. So where to from here? Here's an assumption for ya.... When I installed Beekeeper, it didn't give me the option to just install and do the config later, (I mean why would it - you've obviously got Beehive running already to want to install BK).. but we've just canceled the configuration wizard, which means it's installed and only 1/2 configured.
So, let's see if $ORACLE_HOME/beehive/oobwiz/configWizard is there.. (that's the same spot the Beehive configuration wizard is.)
Isn't that handy, it's there, so i fired it up, it asked for the schema password and then continued from where it failed. Nice one.
And we're done.
Time to have a look around.
Interesting that I can't log into Beekeeper as my flast1 user, but I can with Beeadmin. I know, I haven't done Configuring Oracle Beekeeper for LDAP-Based Authentication yet. One of the post installation steps of Beekeeper. But it's interesting that the two admin tools use different authentication methods.
Login as Beeadmin (I remember the password :-) .
I'll leave it there for now, slightly longer than originally though.
