Error while re-installing the Oracle 10g on Linux

Hello Experts,
I am a beginner in this area: I was in the process of installing Oracle 10g Release 2 on Linux 4. However, during the installation was incomplete because there was a disconnection in the network during the step wherein I was supposed to run the shell scripts from the root directory. When I tried to install the product once again, I got an error message that I need to "create a new oracle home". I also checked if there were any oracle products installed, but there were none. Now, how do I re-install the oracle 10g? Please help.
Thanks!

Hi Jean-Valentin,
I tried doing that, (ref: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui3_manage_oracle_homes.htm#i1006275),
but it didnot work.
So, what I did was:
I created a new oracle home:
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_2
instead of the older one: ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
and I was able to install the oracle software successfully.
Please let me know if there is anyway that I can clean up
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1, in the sense, completely remove it.
Please let me know if there is a particular way to remove ORACLE_HOME and oraInventory directories.
Thanks a lot.

  • Reg.SMTP Error while using UTL_MAIL in Oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I am getting the following SMTP error while trying to use the UTL.MAIL package of Oracle 10g. The query is as follows.
    begin
    utl_mail.send(
    sender => 'NAVEEN',

    UTL_MAIL package is installesd and the port 25 is configured and firewall is changed.
    The same block was working fine before 5 days and now is giving the error as

    Could you please help me out how to proceed???
    Regards,
    Naveen Kumar.

    Can you back that statement about an Oracle UTL_SMTP bug up with an actual bug number??
    From what you have posted, this is not a bug!! but expected and documented (RFC'ed) SMTP server behaviour.
    My proof:
    /home/billy> telnet mail 25
    Trying 165.143.128.26...
    Connected to mail
    Escape character is '^]'.

    /home/billy>
    As you can clearly see, the SMTP server expects a DOMAIN name as part of the MAIL FROM address. It also does not accept the alternative format suggested.
    Yes, not all SMTP servers are equal and some support additional formatting.
    But to imply that because the SMTP server does not accept your address formatted as string NAVEEN, it is a UTL_SMTP problem, sounds like a smelly one to me.

  • How to rechoose or add the Oracle 10g AS's support language?

    hi all,
    I Installed the Oracle 10g As on a redhat as 3 with sp4. and I did not choose any other languages support while install the Oracle 10g AS. All were fine except that while I accessed the server's 1810 port with IE6, I got additive device. Some charatersets display right while some such as buttons display as a litter pane.
    so my question is how to rechoose the Oracle 10g AS's support language and set one of my preference to as default character set !
    I am not sure whether this problem just relate to the emctl's startup parameter.
    regards,
    Ari

    Finally, I reinstalled the Oracle Application Server 10g on the same Operration System. Any modification of the setting in my computer hasn't been made. in the course of installation, all the operation steps were the same with the previous time, except for adding a language support.
    And this time, to access the em manager console with IE, all runs fine without any additive device. The buttons display the right words now. And I found there are something different in the folder $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/webapps/emd/cabo/images/cache/.
    But I still have not any idea how to correct this problem on an installed system if I meet next time. Do I must reinstall anytimes? Or there just need to modify some config files?

  • Anyone installed the Oracle client software on MBP?

    Hi there,
    I'm running into problems installing the Oracle 10g client software (not the server) on my macbook Pro (Intel)
    The instant client installs fine, but it doesn't have the tools I need (sqlldr, imp, exp). During the install the installer gives me a java UnsatifiedLinkError.
    Any thoughts? Sorry if I've missed a previous thread on this, but searches turned up nothing.

    So do u mean if we have SQLPLUS on the box, it implies that client tools are installed ?
    and the SQLPLUS.exe is the one that indicates the existance of client tools on a box and this has to be present on the box to say that the clinet tools are installed.
    Can we have client tools on the box with out SQLPLUS.?

  • ERROR: Install cannot verify the oracle 10g Database

    I just completed installation of the SES 10.1.8.2 version and am now trying to apply the 10.1.8.4 Service Pack. After the OUI screen asks for my sys password, I click on Next and receive a popup error message that reads,

    I've verified that I can login as EQSYS using sqlplus. Also tested that I can login as sys, too. I've also tested the login using the Admin console and that is fine, too.
    Any ideas on what is causing this or how to fix it is most welcome as I've not encountered this error before when installing SES or a service pack. I've even tried the OUI for Service pack 10.1.8.3 but also get the same error.
    I've checked the listener.ora and tnsnames and they are OK. I've checked and the listener is running and so is the DB.
    Right now, I have the Oracle SES instance up and running at 10.1.8.2 but need to upgrade this to the same level as the other SES search nodes.
    Edited by: user8655787 on Apr 15, 2010 2:18 PM

    A couple of other things that I have tried but have had no affect. I'm still getting the same error:
    1. Tried recreating the orapwd file
    orapwd file=orapwprdses01 password=prdses01
    And make sure that the pfile or spfile has:
    remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
    another OTN posting said to try this:
    1. Go to directory $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    2. Modify sqlnet.ora file with following parameter:
    tcp.validnode_checking = no
    3. If you don't want to disable this, you can put the machine names as follows:
    tcp.invited_nodes=(machine1, machine2)
    3. Bounce the listener.
    .... but, I'm still getting the same error when trying to run the .runInstaller OUI for the service pack for 10.1.8.4.

  • After installing oracle 10g on linux im getting this error

    Hi,
    Can any one give me any solution on i getting an error after installing oracle 10g on linux.
    ERROR:-

    Hi, please ensure that both 'libclntsh.so.10.1' and 'libttsh10.so' has 755 permission and owned by Oracle.
    That is the critical step.
    After re-execute the root.sh file
    Has been known to reset the permissions from the previous step - bug in some patch releases.
    Suggest OP records permissions for those two files before running root.sh Or run root.sh before setting the permissions.

  • URGENT!Stuck while installing the Oracle apps 11.5.8 on Windows 2000 Server

    Hi All,
    I am installing the Oracle applications 11.5.8 on windows server 2000 using the rapid install 11.5.8.11(which was part of the cd pack).
    I am using the Windows CD Pack(which consists of 19 cds)
    To start with, it has passed all the pre install checks(including the utlity check, system check etc), every thing was succesful and then I started the installation.
    And then I started installing, I inserted 1 cd at a time. Every thing went smoothly until the 5 cd. While processing the 5th CD, it started spawning the dos session and was trying to connect to the created database. And it was not able to do so.
    I could see from the status bar that it was trying to run the scripts like adlicnse.sql, adclobtmp.sql ,adclobconv.sql
    and throwing the following message
    ora-01089: immediate shutdown in progress
    and was asking me to enter the user name . When I entered the username and password, it throws the message saying that
    "ora-01089: immediate shutdown in progress".
    After such unsuccesful attempts for each of the above mentioned file, I finally go the "Oracle Applications Rapid Install Wizard Alert"
    displaying the below message.
    Error code received when running external process.
    Check log file for details.
    Running Database Install Driver for PROD instance.
    and then with the "Retry" and "Abort" buttons. When I pressed the retry button,still get the same message. (And I did not find any log file to look for).
    Please let us know what are we supposed to do now and what is the exact reason why it is not able to connect to the database.
    I have not tampered with any of the files. This is a urgent requirement for us to install the oracle apps, please help us immediately and any help is widely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    your problem is not very unusual... I also faced the similar situation cpl of times when Oracle was not able to continue the installation coz the Immediate Shutdown was failed. Actually During the installation, Oracle mounts/opens the database and shuts it down many times and few times, Oracle is unable to shutdown cleanly as some process is hanging or not responding.
    Piece of advise is that always use staging area to install Apps as it takes long time on Win2K (anything between 4-12 hrs) to install it and CDROM Access is lot slower than HDD. Also, it will prompt u every time to insert tbe CD. All this hassle can be bypassed by using the staging area. Read the Installation help document on how to create it.
    For failure reasons, look in ur installation log file which is created in the default Temp folder usually C:\documents and settings\USERNAME\local settings\temp for WinXP or C:\winnt\documents and settings\USERNAME\local settings\temp for Win2K.
    post or email me at [email protected] or [email protected] for further help/details.
