IAS 10.1.2.0.2 on Enterprise Linux

hi all,
we are venturing into the world of oracle on linux (without any real knowlege on linux), so ive decided on installing Enterprise Linux 5 rather than ubuntu or similar.
ive installed standard Enterprise Linux 5 setup on a server and included the base addon of 'Oracle Validation' which created the user, group and permissions etc, so the oracle installer kinda works out of the box.
ive had no issue installing DB 10.1.0.2 this way, but when i try with IAS 10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure i seem to get an "OPMN process manager failed to start" warning at 66% and to check /home/oracle/infra/opmn/logs for the cause. below is the HTTP_server~1 file.
09/07/08 13:22:23 Start process
/home/oracle/infra/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start: execing httpd
/home/oracle/infra/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
can anybody offer any advice?
thanks

Seen similar problems before and the solution was to ge tall the required RPMs installed. I remember I had a problem with not having a 32 bit version of a RPM installed (sometimes both the 64-bit and the 32-bit) is required.

    Do you have experience installing Oracle db on UNIX? It seems to me that you did not even create a group and user with proper rights. Those shell scripts couldn't run.

  • Installation of Oracle Failed on Oracle Enterprise Linux.

    Hi All,
    I have installed Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit) provided by oracle e-delivery on my Vmware Virtaul machine.When i try to install Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86,after running the runInstaller i am getting the following error.
    [oracle@vmware database]$ ./runInstaller
    Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
    Checking installer requirements...
    Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
    Failed <<<<
    Note:Oracle E-Delivery has provided 5 CD's to downlaod for Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit).But the installation of LINUX finished succesfully with 3 CD's only.I donot have any idea for what purpose the remaining CD's 4 and 5.Do i need to install CD's 4 and 5 seperately.Is this the problem for orcle DB installation failure or is there any exclusive database which i need download for Enterprise Linux Release 5 Update 2 for x86 (32 Bit).
    Any help in this issue is highly appreciated.
    Thank You Very Much.

    I am also getting the same error as a previous poster:

    I downloaded and installed Oracle EL5 (64 bit). I have a Network-level support, so I ran the up2date and picked up all the updates and installed them. My company is a licensee of 10g, so I downloaded 64bit 10g, and ungzip-uncpio'd it into a work directory. When I try to install it, it blows up at the above point.
    In reading the above comments, I rpm'd libXp and libaio, but this does not change the failure of runInstaller.
    Any hints?

  • Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
    (Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
    Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
    Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.
    Here I copied a part of it:

    I'm facing the same error message while install Siebel 8.0 on OEL. But before I had this ksh problem, it complains about disc space first, and I actually has plenty of disk space under the directory (it needs only 0.7 G and I have 17G free). Anybody has encountered such problem before?

  • Oracle Application Server 10g R2 installation on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5

    Hi there ...
    I want to install Oracle Application Server 10g R2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5. Can I get an installation instructions (or steps) for that?
    Oracle installation guide mentions Suse 9 & 8 and Red hat 3 & 2. There is nothing related to Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 or 4?
    Thanks

    Yes there is one for 10gR3 too:
    Note:465159.1 Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3) Requirements for Linux OEL 5 and RHEL 5
    Thanks

  • Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 Installation Fails during Disk Partitioning

    Hi,
    I've tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.1 by creating a Virtual Machine using Oracle VM Virtual Box in my laptop with Window XP host OS (NTFS filesystem), by following the below steps.
    1) Installed Oracle VM Virtual Box
    2) Created a new Virtual machine using a virtual box by specifying the two .iso images i.e OracleLinux-R6-U1-Server-i386-dvd.iso and boot.iso as the boot device and by specifying the following Disk files (.vdi) as follows.
    2.1) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Root_Disk_1.vdi - For the / (i.e Root) partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
    2.2) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Swap_Disk_1.vdi - For the swap partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - swap
    2.3) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_User_Disk_1.vdi - For the /usr partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 20 GB - ext4
    2.4) Oracle_Enterprise_Linux_6_1_Home_Disk_1.vdi - For the /home partition - Dynamically expanded storage - 10 GB - ext4
    But while installing OEL 6.1 after specifying the partitions, the installer get hung and throws an error as bug while creating the ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda1.
    I tried to specify the default 8 GB for all the above four partitions, the installer successfully continues without any issues. But if i specify any partition more than 8 GB, it fails.
    Is there anyway I can solve this problem by creating the above specified partitions with the above size ? Why does it fail if i specify any size more than 8 GB ?
    Thanks
    Harish

    8 GB is a common limit for systems were the boot loader or system BIOS imposes an addressable space limit for the boot partition. In such situations, the system boot partition has to fit within the first 8 GB physical boundary of the harddrive.
    Your setup seems a bit unusual. Why do you create separate disks for each Linux partition?
    Normally the Linux installer creates necessary partitions on the disk, including a /boot partition that is usually only 100 MB in size.
    What are you doing with boot.iso? You should be able to start the system from the main installation DVD or .iso image. You might also want to install x86_64 Linux, unless your hardware is really very old and does not support the 64-bit extension. You can run 32-bit software on a n 64-bit OS, but not the other way around and you will limit your software to 32-bit only.

  • Error during Oracle installation in Oracle Enterprise Linux

    Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock'
    I have tried to set the DISPLAY variable to my IP address, but it still gives the same issue.

  • Driver issue for Oracle Enterprise Linux

    Hi All,
    I have just installed Oracle Enterprise Linux. I was not able to access network. After doing lspci -- i found that my ethernet conrtoller : Atheros Communications AR8151 Gigabit Ethernet.
    Can any one tell how to install driver for this ?

    What is your output of:
    <pre>
    lsb_release -d
    uname -r
    </pre>
    What kernel driver is in use or loaded regarding your Ethernet card when you check the output of lspci -v"?
    Note that Oracle Linux just like any other Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not designed for typical consumer grade Laptops and Desktop systems.
    Does your computer vendor provide any driver software for Enterprise Linux? You might be able to find 3rd party driver support using http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php as a temporary yum software repository. Probably kmod-atl1 or similar.

  • Guide to installing XE and Apex on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (64 bit)

    I have just been through a time consuming and frustrating process of installing Oracle XE 10gR2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 x86-64 and I want to share my experience so that others can benefit from it and overcome the same problems more quickly.
    Prior to starting I had installed OEL 5.3 and been using it for a few days. The system I am using is a home built box with an AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition, 8 Gb RAM, Highpoint RR2680 RAID controller with 4 1TB disks in a RAID5 array and an additional 320Gb HDD storing the OS. I am using KDE3.5 on the desktop.
    The main problem I encountered was with SELinux. As I eventually intend to have this system exposed on the Internet I was reluctant to switch it off despite having read extensively about the issues surrounding it and Oracle. I had several failed attempts at the installation process before succumbing to the reality that SELinux and Oracle are not happy bedfellows. I decided to switch SELinux to permissive mode having followed the advice here.
    I found a very helpful guide to installing XE on Linux here as part of the installation of an application called Spacewalk. Note that you do not need to complete the whole Spacewalk installation, but just follow the instructions in the linked page.
    Before you start you need to ensure that the UID of your oracle user is less than 500. Mine was 500, so I used the following commands to fix this:
    usermod -u 250 oracle
    find / -uid 500 -exec chown oracle {} \;
    These change the oracle UID to 250 (but check that isn't already used first!) and the find command searches for all files that were owned by oracle (but weren't after the usermod cmd) and changes them back to oracle's ownership.
    Now follow the Spacewalk instructions until you reach the Server Setup section. Before you do this you need to make a couple of changes to the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe. I found these changes in various places, such as [link(1)|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1345771&#1345771] and [link(2)|http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2008/08/lblibrarypath-is-not-set-on-startup.html].
    Note that in link(1) the oracle-xe-selinux packages installed have the same effect as the chcon command on the shared libraries so it isn't necessary to perform this step.
    Open /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in vi (or your favourite editor) and do the following:
    line 49: change /bin/su to /sbin/runuser
    after line 52 (export PATH...) add the following lines:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    There are further changes recommended to /etc/init.d/oracle-xe in [this post|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3201491&#3201491] but I haven't done them yet.
    Having done the above changes you can now configure Oracle XE by running /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure (as root!). As I have Apache Tomcat running on port 8080 I changed the default HTTP port to 8500 but kept the listener on its default port of 1521. Once the confuration script is done you will need to change the ports SELinux uses for Oracle as follows:
    semanage port -d -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 9000 - deletes port 9000, which is the SELinux default port for Apex
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 1521 - ensure that listener port is OK (assuming you used default of 1521, change accordingly if you didn't)
    semanage port -a -t oracle_port_t -p tcp 8500 - add the new Apex HTTP port to SELinux
    After all this running:
    semanage port -l | grep oracle
    should show you:
    oracle_port_t tcp 1521, 8500
    I ignored the TNSNAMES.ORA part of the Spacewalk instructions and proceeded with the 'Client setup on 64bit platform' and 'Configuring sqlplus' sections.
    For the latter I created a bash script which I have made available in the oracle user and my own user's home directories:
    cat > configure_oracle_10g_xe.sh
    ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    ORACLE_SID=XE
    export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    I did this as I intend to install other Oracle databases, e.g. 11gR2, on this box later so I didn't want to put the above in .bashrc.
    Having done the above you should be able to log into the database using sqlplus and the XE setup is complete.
    The upgrade of Apex 2.2 to Apex 3.2.1 was fairly painless so I won't go into much detail about it - just follow the instructions provided by Oracle.
    The only issue I had was right at the end of the process and is documented and answered in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=958611&tstart=0].
    That's it - I hope somebody will find this useful.

    On Oracle Metalink site, there are many documents which says that Oracle 32 bit software works on 32 bits OS and 64 bits software works on 64 bits OS. Official support is only in those combination....
    So there is no good way to help you in your case-XE is 32 bit application with hard codded compiled libraries which most of them would not work on 64 bit OS.
    Sorry

    Hope this helps

  • Oracle 8.1.7 install fails on RH Enterprise Linux  3

    Hi!
    I've been desperately trying to install Oracle 8i database to RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (actually it's Whitebox 3.0 that is exactly the same as RH but the logos and other RH stuff stripped), with no luck. I tried to follow the numerous instructions I've found on the net for RH 7.x versions.
    I've installed the glibc compat rpm's and jdk 1.1.8 from blackdown.org and the installer itself starts fine. First problem is that the installer can't detect the ip address of the host. After ignoring that, the install part goes fine but I get a lot of errors about makefiles during the linking. After ignoring the errors and fixing the buggy root.sh script, the Net8 assistant starts, and stops giving out error about missing java .so file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. I checked it, but I can't find the .so file anywhere.
    I've tried to exit the installer, apply the stub patch from oracle and the run dbassist which starts fine but quits after a java error.
    Any ideas what should I do?

    This web site can help you:

  • How to install Oracle Enterprised Linux on VMware PLayer 4

    Hi Everyone,
    My name is John and I've a small issue which I would like to share with you and hopefully, you are able to assist.
    My laptop is installed with a Window 7 Home Edition operating system and I've installed VMware-player-4.0.2. After reboot, I've also downloaded the file - V29609-01 which is the ISO file of Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2.
    After that, I've tried to create a Virtual Machine - Oracle Enterprise Linux using the VMware Player by specifying the path and file name of the V29609-01.iso file on my local c:\ drive. I've tried it several times, but every time it just returns the message - 'pxe-e53 no boot filename received' and it just hangs there without proceeding further. Please let me know what I've done wrong and the correct steps and procedures to solve this problem as this is my first time installing a Linux operating system. Thank you for your assistance.
    Regards,
    John

    Hi,
    Can you clarify and explain what is your exact meaning of 'Are you sure you've added the ISO to the VM to boot from?'? Because the following is what I did:
    1.) Click the Create A New Virtual Machine.
    2.) Select the 'Install disc image file (iso):' option and enter the full path of the V29609-01.iso (Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2) file that I've downloaded from https://edelivery.oracle.com/. But underneath it, that is a message saying - 'Could not detect which operating systems is in this dsic image. You will need to specify which operating system will be installed.'
    3.) Click 'Next'.
    4.) I chose "Linux' under the Guest operating system and chose 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' under the Version drop down.
    5.) Click 'Next'.
    6.) I left the Virtual machine name as 'Oracle Enterprise Linux' and click 'Next'.
    7.) I set the Maximum disk size to 300 GB and have the 'Split virtual disk into multiple files' option selected and click 'Next'.
    8.) I have the 'Power on this virtual machine after creation' checked and click 'Finish'.
    9.) A black screen displayed inside the VMware Player saying:
    'CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0C 289 ......
    PXE-E53: No Boot filename received
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    Operating System not found
    10.) And the process just hangs there.
    Regards,
    John

  • Dual Boot Pre-Installed Windows 7 Computer with Enterprise linux

    hello house, i have a system with pre-installed window7 and i want to load enterprise linux 5 as the second O.S,to have 2 operating systems on a Pc.how do i go about it?

    First, carefully evaludate your motives for thinking dual-boot because just
    install VirtualBox or VMWare to run OEL as a virtual guest requires little
    system reorganization.
    However, if your laptop does not support virtualization then dual
    boot is the way to go:
    1) Get KNOPPIX or SystemRepairDisk from the net. Or just any live
    distribution that includes gparted, which is what Linux uses
    for a partition wizard.
    2) Use gparted to shrink your Win7 partition until you have
    enough room for OEL.
    3) Now, reboot using the OEL installation media.
    4) Be careful on the disk partitioning screen; you want to "use
    available free space" and not the "use all of disk" or "delete
    all partitions" choices. This is the critical step to get right
    to keep your Win7 files from being deleted.
    5) Proceed with default OEL install.
    6) Install the GRUB bootloader to the MBR for the disk. GRUB will
    then allow you to boot from either OEL or Win
    Take a break; you're done.
