Opatch Error - Subdirectory or file already exists
I'm trying to apply the JAN 2006 critical patch to a Oracle 9i database server. When patching I get the errror message:
A subdirectory or file -p already exists.
Error occured while processing -p.
OPatch encounters the following issues during file patching:
The following files had problems with being patched:
Then it lists all the files (14 in all) it is trying to copy from the patch directory to the Oracle bin directory.
When it asks me if I want to stop and I reply 'Y' I get the message:
ERROR: OPatch failed during patching, possibly due to missing files.
I am logged in as Administrator on the machine, so I don't think this is a permissions problem.
Also, I have run this patch on other Oracle 9i servers without any problems. It is only this server that is giving me problems.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
