INSTALLATION ERROR!
===================
Installation step failed - exiting.
Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log
in your communications with Nagios technical support.

The script that failed was: './03-database.sh'

if I enter the DB the fusion@localhost user exists and even by removing it and trying the reinstallation again the error repeats.
There are no other programs installed, the VM was created specifically to host fusion.

Is there any way to solve the problem?
Regards

Hello @abar!

Sorry to hear you are having issues installing Fusion.

Just to clarify, the VM you attempted to install Fusion on, was a freshly created minimal install of Oracle 8.9 correct?

Hello @ajcoil

the vm was initially a freshly installation of the server package (without GUI), later I deleted all the packages and activated only the one relating to the minimal install with the DNF command.

Hello @abar,

Thank you for reaching out!

If possible, I would recommend setting up a fresh VM and selecting "Minimal Install" from the "Software Selection" section when you run through the pre-install configurations.

Please feel free to reach out if you are still having any issues!
