The reason for the issue is that the OER is actually not properly installed even though the installer specifies that the installation is successfully completed. You can check this by mentioning the log file during the installation as below:

java -jar OER111150_generic.jar -log=\tmp\install.log

You will see the error "Cannot set up jar file extraction directory: Permission denied" in the log file. The reason for this error is that the installer extracts itself in the /tmp directory on the file system where the installer resides (if installer is on shared server then the installer tries to extracts itself on the shared server /tmp directory). Give full permissions to the user on the /tmp directory of the server where the installer resides.

Also specify the environment variables as below:

export TMP=/tmp
export TMPDIR=/tmp

In windows, specify the environment variable TEMP=C:\TEMP and TEMPDIR=C:\TEMP
