Issue:
OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5.0) Installation on windows 7 64 bit, installation gets stuck at configuration stage and log files show below lines
CSF Entries will not be parsed since the AdminServer is unreachable…..
Cause: This issue is because of the wrong entry in hosts file .
Solution:
Install the Loopback Adapter and update the hosts file file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) with the IP and your Computer Name
Pre-installation checks for all platforms should include nslookups to confirm network and DNS settings. For example, the following command should return without error and the IP address and host should match those listed in the etc/hosts file:
nslookup host (where host is the "short name" or "alias" for the host machine)
nslookup host.oracle.com (lookup on the actual host name and domain)
nslookup 123.456.789.0 (where IP address specified is that of the actual OBIEE machine)
