Installation of oracle8i (8.1.7) on linux 6.2

hello,
This is regarding installation of oracle8i(8.1.7) on redhat linux6.2.
We are facing problems at the begining step of creation of "oracle" user accout & "dba" group.
Even though we are successfull in creating user & group we are not able to proceed further with installations.
is the problem is wrt O.S kernel parameters.
if yes please send me the solution.
the kernel ver which we are using is 2.2.14.
does that makes any difference.
Or should "oracle" user or the "dba" group
comes under special category.
bcos we are not able to find any oracle related environment variables nor we are successfull in accesing kernel parameters.
please let me know how to proceed further
as soon as possible.
thanks a lot,
Bheemesh.

hello folks,
i am having a problem in installing oracle 8.1.7 on linux 7.2 redhat.[...snip...]
now installation starts,during Linking Oracle8i Enterprise Edition segment,,at 62 or 64%,,it start
generating errors like:
Error in invoking target relink of makefile
/dba01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk
no effect on retry,just ignore ignore and ignore all the rest part,,
i have read a nearly similar type of problem yesterday in this forum where author suggested
to change LD_SELF_CONTAINED in ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and then run "genclntsh",,but he did'nt
mentioned what change should we do??http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
From the above guide:
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and change the following line (people have sent me emails pointing out that this also works for Mandrake 8.1 and Mandrake 8.2):
LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
to read:
LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
Then run the script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh as the user "oracle" and not as the user "root". Also make sure you have all the Oracle environments set! (I got so many emails because people were not doing this)
$ su - oracle
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh

Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion. I suspect the initmig8i.ora file is causing the problem. I have followed the installation guide very closely and the SID is mig8i. What might be the problem causing it to stop? Now, I can't connect to database.

Richard,
It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

Oracle8i works (at last) under Linux

I think that this is the news many were waiting for.
I have installed succesfully Oracle8i under Linux SuSe 6.2
I must thank SuSe developers because they solved many problems
and bugs of the base software and nearly all the problems of the
patch.
What you need in order to install it are only 2 files.
815ship.tgz (signle file for Oracle8i EE)
and the patch file from SuSe
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/Oracle/oracle815-su
se62.tar.gz
The FTP site is quote slow and you will need a lots of time to
download it, but after over a month of unesuful tries with any
Linux and any JRE and anything possible, this time the
installation went so smooth i thought it was a dream :)
The patch from SuSe lack of something important: a brief
documentation.
But this is what you have to do.
Uncompress the ship815.tgz on a directory of your choice (e.g.
/mnt/oracle8i)
Install the .rpm packages from SuSe patch on your system
(javarunt and tcl75lib BUT NOT the orarun.rpm)
Than use tar -xzf on the tar.gz file of your version (EE or STD)
It will create a directory that contain the true patch.
Follow the README instructions.
When you finished the installation than install the last .rpm
package (orarun).
After that you have to edit the rc.config in order to set the
path correctly for your installation. (this is on of the reason i
say that it lack a little of documentation)
And you have finished. Oracle8i will work fine getting up at the
startup and shutting down when you shut down.
I have had no problems and the computer wasn't anything special
(K6-2 380, 64Mb ram)
Have fun at last :)
-Stefano

OK Michael...I'm gonna go pick up Suse 6.2! Thank you and those
that have worked to make 8i function on your distibution. The
main reason that I will be switching is that from you efforts I
feel comfortable that SuSe is dedicated to its users desires and
the requirements necessary for Linux to excel in the enterprise!
Cheers,
Keehan

Error in creation of sample database during installation of Oracle8

I am trying to install Oracle8 for Intel Solaris8. Near the end of installation - running database configuration assitant, the creation of the sample database failed by an alert:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
I also tried to run database configuration assistant in custom mode separately, "ORACLE not available" message came up.
I think ORACLE should be connected and running before creation of the sample DB, like installation of Oracle in Windows.
Anyone has the same problem or can give me a help?
The Oracle(8.1.7) CD comes with Solaris8 (07/01) package.
Thanks.

I would guess that your kernal parameters have not been set. Check you oracle install guide for the appropriate additions to /etc/system for semiphores and shared memory segments. If you have not made these changes, the database will not come up.

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?

Problem on Installation of SAP NW testdrive 7 on Linux!!

Hy, i have started the installation of SAP 7 Linux testdrive but i have received this message:
unpacking sqd_env.tar.bz2
bzip2: compressed file ends unexpectedly
           peraphs it is corrupted)
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
           Input file = (stdin). output file =(stdout)
It is possible that the compressed file have become corrupted.
After these messages the installation has continued with unpacking other tar file.
I try to open the sqd_env.tar.bz2 but the system has sad to me that the file is corrupted.
How can i resolve this problem?
Thank's a lot.
Sincerely yours,
Andrea Maraviglia

Thanks for the tip - that was my problem exactly!
One of the segments didn't copy correctly and the filesize was off. I downloaded the file again and recombined them into a new .ISO file.   When I mounted .ISO and restarted the install process, I immediately got past the previous sticking point.

Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop
- X Window System
- Gnome
- KDE
- See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.
o     Applications

o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time
o     Set the Date and Time.
o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
25.     User Account
o     Create an account for yourself.
o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
26.     Red Hat Network
o     If you want to use or activate your Red Hat Network account now, accept the default, click on Next, and follow the product activation instructions that accompanied your Red Hat product.
27.     Additional CDs
o     Click on Next.
28.     Finish Setup

Export TMPDIR
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
Export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/appsrv/infra
Export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=asdb     (if u will not define SID here then while starting database u will face an error ORA-07217:sltn:environment variable cannot be evaluated)
Export ORACLE_SID
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
Export PATH
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin     (u can include command paths like dcm as u needed)
Export PATH

Export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
Copy this file with name as.env and change ORACLE_HOME from infra to as.
. ./infra.env
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY

Now u can check that DISPLAY is ok by run the command xclock if clock appears then ok else set DISPLAY with root user ok
Start installation from CD 1 .
. ./runInstaller
Press Y               (There is no need to disturb, upgrade, degrade any package)
Press Y
Installation will start while installing and reaches at ~50% then go to /oracle/appsrv/infra/bin open relink file and change at line # 50 i.e. remove 2 brackets
] âo [ and at line # 102 make= /usr/ccs/bin/make to /usr/bin/make remove ccs and save the file
There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

Hi,
I tried uname -a and it returns the following:
Linux NLABLINUX 2.4.21-20.EL.c0 #1 Thu Sep 9 02:07:03 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
We have the following problems:
1. I am having a box running RHEL 3.0 (got from centos.org). I have Oracle 10g running ok. Now I tried to install ASMLIB downloaded from technet. The files are:
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.4.21-EL-1.0.3-1.i686.rpm \
     oracleasmlib-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm \
     oracleasm-support-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm \
When I tried to install these files, I got the following error:
Checking for Red Hat enterprise kernel: [FAILED]
Also when I try to run /etc/init.d/oracleasm , I get the same error
Checking for Red Hat enterprise kernel: [FAILED]
2. We created 4 raw partitions /dev/raw/raw1 - 4 using raw command.
[root@rcdell root]# ls -l /dev/raw/raw[1,2,3,4]
crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 162, 1 Sep 9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw1

crw-rw---- 1 oracle dba 162, 4 Sep 9 11:05 /dev/raw/raw4
then tried this:

Installation of Oracle 9.0.1 On Linux

Hi,
I a trying to install oracle 9.0.1 on Red hat Linux 7 OS. My machine have 128 MB RAM. I have kept 500 MB swap space. I have also installed JDK i.e Blackdown 1.1.8_v3 on my machine.
Th problem i am facing is. Its giving me "SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation error " error even before starting the Universal Installer screen.
ALL KERNEL parameters i.e SHMMAX, etc. are set but still its got struck with the error stated above.
Is the error i am getting is related with RAM of my machine which is 128MB
or
is it with some library_path, class_path for JDK
or I need to set or i need to do something else.
I appreciate if somebody put light on it.
Harsh Bhatia

Hi harsh
I'm no guru of Linux,
but heard somewhere u just cant make 9i to work with 128 MB RAM it needs at least 512.
u can refer a document

bye
Good Luck

Installation of SJSAS 8 freezes on Suse Linux 9.1

I am trying to install the Sun Java Application Server 8 on my Suse Linux 9.1 System. I have the Sun JDK 1.4.2_05 installed and the JAVA_HOME variable set to the right directory.
When I am starting the downloaded installation file as root, the GUI guides me through the licene agreement, the installation directory selection (/opt/SUNWappserver) and JDK selection (/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_05).
After this step the installer just freezes. Nothing happens any more - the only thing I can do is aborting on the console with Ctrl+c.
The same thing happens when I try using the non-GUI installing process - at the same step. Even using another JDK - I tried 1.4.1 - leads to the same result.
Referring to the topic of eric.r.turner in this forum ("Installing J2EESDK 1.4 on Slackware 9.1 and Current Freezes"), I checked the /var/tmp/ directory and found no productregistry files.
Does anybody has an idea what I can try else?
Thanks!
Holger

Supplement:
I tried the workaround specified in Bug ID: 4978327, unziping the bin-file and starting
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/java -cp .:package/PackageFormat.jar -Xmx256m appserv -nodisplay It did not work (though the opposite is presumed at the end of the bug description).

Thin driver connection in oracle8i(8.1.5) on Linux with JDK1.2.2

JDBC Development team quote:
You can download the JDK 1.2 version of the 8.1.6 Thin driver from this site. It is 100% Pure Java and will run on Linux.
As you replied, I downloaded 8.1.6 Thin driver(classes12.zip) and nls_charset12.zip. Then, as instructed in readme file of 8.1.6, I modified CLASSPATH and add LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I wrote a test program, and it compiled without errors. But when I excuted it, I got the error message below:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNU
M=135286784)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
Is there any other installation procedures I missed?
Below is the test program I used:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class Test
public static void main (String args [])throws SQLException
//DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Cannot load the Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid","id", "password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select sysdate from dual");
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
I'd appreciate if you give me some insight.
null

It seems like the database listener is not setup properly. Please double check the listener is up and it's listening to the port you specified.
Thanks.
