Running quickstart.sh in WSL2 ends with errors

[Ali-MRDN47]

Hi there,
I'm trying to run the project on my windows 10 machine using wsl2 with ubuntu distribution.
I'm using wsl2 terminal to run the script quickstart.sh. I've already downloaded and copied jre-8u321-linux-x64.tar.gz into the folder files and adjusted the settings.env file as follow:

FILES_DIR=files
ORACLE_SID=XE
ORACLE_PDB=XEPDB1
ORACLE_PWD=Oracle21
APEX_ADMIN_EMAIL=mrdn-47@gmx.net
APEX_ADMIN_PWD=Oracle__21
APEX_PUBLIC_USER_PWD=Oracle21_1
APEX_LISTENER_PWD=Oracle21_2
APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER_PWD=Oracle21_3
ORDS_PUBLIC_USER_PWD=Oracle21_4
INSTALL_FILE_APEX=apex-latest.zip
INSTALL_FILE_ORDS=ords-latest.zip
INSTALL_FILE_JAVA=jre-8u321-linux-x64.tar.gz
DOCKER_ORDS_PORT=50080
DOCKER_EM_PORT=55500
DOCKER_DB_PORT=51521
DB_VERSION=18.4.0
DB_EDITION=xe
DOCKER_NETWORK_NAME=das_network
ALLOW_DB_PATCHING=N
OML4R_SUPPORT=N
REST_ENABLED_SQL=Y
RTU_ENABLED=N
SQLDEVWEB=Y
DATABASEAPI=Y
XE_USE_LOCAL_COPY=N

I got the following error at the end of the execution after installing a lot of stuffs:

The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /opt/oracle

The following output is now a tail of the alert.log:

what I can understand is, that Java istn't installed in on the container.
Here are the files:
01-build.log
02-run.log
)

Can anyone tell me, what's the problem is?

@Ali-MRDN47 in your settings.env file can you remove the reference to FILES_DIR=files (first line) and try again?

@fuzziebrain any other thoughts?

Running ./quickstart.sh shouldn't have required creating a different .env file, it would have been created for you.

The error singled out here:

##### Install dependencies if required #####
tar (child): /tmp/files/java17: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar (child): /tmp/files/java17: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

... is a bug and I'll fix it soon. It shouldn't affect a first build. It will break if the <CONTAINER_NAME>-oradata directory exists from a previous deployment.

The problem is captured in the build log:

##### Install dependencies if required #####
Loaded plugins: ovl
ovl: Error while doing RPMdb copy-up:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/rpm/Dirnames'
You need to be root to perform this command.

I'd recommend that you perform the following steps:

1. Delete the failed container using the command docker rm -vf <CONTAINER_NAME>.
2. Remove the <CONTAINER_NAME>-oradata directory using the command sudo rm -rf <CONTAINER_NAME>-oradata.
3. Run the command: sudo -K.
4. Run the quickstart script: ./quickstart.sh

Not too sure if you had sent a reply, but you had this error:

docker: Error response from daemon: Ports are not available: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:55500: bind: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions.

This is an issue with Windows restricting the use of certain ports, likely because you have Hyper-V enabled.

Yes, I've replayed but I've removed it later because it was irrelevant, sorry. I solved this problem by adjusting the ports

Hi,

I had the same issue when I tried to install apex 22.1 on wsl-2 in docker today.
I solved (as workaround) the issue by adding su -c commnand for installing of java in scripts, now env seems to be working (workspace & test app created).

The source of the issue is default user for docker container, you are not root but oracle, in previous installation for version 21.2 few months ago I was root when I called ( docker exec -it xx bash), It seems to be that scripts are not running under root in docker container but under oracle user, for some tasks (I identified only java installation) they are not sufficient priviliges assigned.

Changing permission on "files" folder before running the quickstart.sh also worked for me.
