Installation Problem Oracle 9.2.0.4 on Red Hat Linux 5

I have installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. I want to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) Server.
I have created oracle user and set oracle home directory in the .bash_profile.After that i run runinstaller file but the message comes as below..
'The user is root. Oracle Universal Installer cannot continue installation if the user is root. No such file or directory.
Please tell me the actual solution.
- Prasanta

First of all, as pointed out by Hans, make sure you perform the installation with the oracle user, not root.
Next, you should be aware that installing Ora9iR2 on RHEL5 is neither supported nor planned, so you must be aware you will be on your own. There is no official procedure to install 9i on RHEL5, however, considering you will use this for personal purposes, not production, you can attempt the procedure provided by Ivan Kartik --> Oracle 9i on RHEL 5.

Installation Error with 10.1.3.1 on Red Hat Linux 4

Hi,
I am installing Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 on Red Hat Linux 4, and am receiving the following error:
Error in invoking target install of make file ins_sqlplus.mk. If I hit 'Ignore', I continue to receive errors regarding the makefile, and the configuration assistants fail.
What do I need to do to avoid getting this error? I am having a lot of trouble getting this installation to work successfully.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Nora

Hi Nora,
Just read pre-install steps well. I think you 're missing a couple of libraries at your OS.
So the only thing as I mentioned check pre-install steps or download pre-install script for AS9.0.4
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:4077412560366893878::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,270683.1,1,1,1,helvetica
The output will help you to determine what you are missing.
one more thing check your ENV & swap
Hear from you & regards,

Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
get started.

Oracle 9i installation on Red Hat Linux 9 URGENT

hi,
I live in london, I have tried a lot to install Oracle 9i Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 9, but couldn't do it, can any one help me to install it, I am ready to pay and visit any place in london for that purpose in the evening, if any one can help my mobiel number 07832 077672
best regards
asif

If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

Oracle 10g Installation on Red Hat Linux

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 10g (Downloaded from Oracle Site) in a Linux Installation. I have checked with the following command about the Linux Version
# cat /etc/issue and the output is :
Red Hat Linux Release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686
Then I am giving #uname -r and the output is
2.4.2-2
Now Oracle Installation Guide for 10g for Linux is saying that
if the errata level is less than 25 on x86 system then install latest Kernel Updates.
Please Let me know from where I can get the Latest Kernel Updates appropriately and what I need to do to put that patch into Linux so that I can smoothly install the Oracle 10g.
Thanks and regards.
Keshav Tripathy

Jer is absolutely right.... just changing the values in oraparm.ini to reflect your kernel distribution will work for you.
For example the file contains:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3
now to add your linux into it just check your version by issuing the command #uname -r
in my case the output was "2.4.20-8smp". I just appended redhat before this value and entered in the oraparm.ini file.
The new ini file looks like:
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-2.1,UnitedLinux-1.0,redhat-3,redhat-2.4.20-8smp
[Linux-redhat-2.4.20-8smp-optional]
TEMP_SPACE=80
SWAP_SPACE=150
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
Now you are all set to install. I assume that all other pre-requisites have been fulfilled.

Installation of Oracle EBusiness Suite 11i Release 10.2 on Red Hat Linux

Hello there,
It would be great if someone can help me with these questions
1. Which version of Red Hat Linux is suitable for installation of Oracle EBusiness Suite 11i Release 10.2.
2. I am downloading the EBS files from eDelivery site on my machine (Windows based). These are Zip files. How would these be usable on Linux machine?
3. Do I need stuff like MKS Toolkit on Linux? We tried installing on Windows 2003 server but had to abandon because we don't have MKS Toolkit. Is there some such pre-requisite on Linux?
Thank you.
Rahul

Copy all zip files to say /data/stage11i then unzip all files (as root) the process will create the correct file structure, you do not need to run adautostge.pl then in a terminal screen go to /data/stage11i/Disk1/rapidwiz and then type ./rapidwiz the installation wizard then guides you through the rest of the way. Run raoidwiz as root if you need multi user or for the demo single user run rapidwiz as oracle. Make sure you have created user and group for oracle and applmgr, also make those changes in the wizard it often defaults to say user oravis group dba. In linux you should have created localhost.localdomain sometimes the eth0 does not start, stop it in the device manager and then reactivate. Hope that helps.

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.

Install Oracle 11.2 (ASM) failover on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Suite

Hi everybody,
I need installer Oracle 11.2 with asm on Failover Cluster Red Hat linux Suite (two servers), could someone help me?
There is documentation about that...
My idea is
- Installer oracle in both servers
- Installer Infraestructure Grid for asm in both server
- Create database on asm (ams disk shoud be same for boths servers)
Is soported gfs (global file system) and asm?
I have many doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I have several comments:
Don't use the RPM utility to install software. It does not resolve dependencies. As of RHEL 5, YUM or UP2DATE are the standard software management tools.
RHEL? Do you have a paid subscription or money to waste? If not, you will be much better off using Oracle Linux, because you can download it for free and also have access to all errata and patches for free (http://public-yum.oracle.com). If you need the RHCK kernel instead of the more advanced Oracle UEK kernel, which is optimized by Oracle for Oracle products, no problem, because Oracle Linux ships with both. If you want to use Linux ASMLib under RHEL 6, you need a RHEL subscription to download the kernel module. The Oracle UEK kernel includes the driver.
Also if you use Oracle Linux, you can install the oracle-rdbms-server-11gr2-preinstall package, which triggers the installation of all prerequisite software and takes care of kernel parameters and creating the Oracle account. You then simply set a password for the Oracle account and you're done.
RHEL 6.0. Why such an old version and not 6.4?
According to my records, you can use the following command under RHEL 6 to install the 11gR2 prerequisite software. Yum will automatically install other depended software as required.
yum install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-gcc-34 compat-gcc-34-c++ \
elfutils-libelf-devel ksh sysstat make gcc gcc-c++ compat-libcap1 \
glibc-devel glibc-common glibc-headers libstdc++-devel libaio-devel

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)

How to Install Oracle on Red Hat Linux?

My System is having P4 1.8 GHz Processor with 128 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD(7 GB Linux Partition + 1 GB Swap Partition). I have installed Red Hat Linux 9(Server). Now, I want to install Oracle 9 on this syste. But I don't know how to install it. Anyone who knows this, plz, mail me the necessary system requirements alongwith some settings, if any. My Email ID is [email protected]/[email protected]

I think you'll have some problems with 128MB RAM..... 
:P Nonsense, but I do hope that hard drive is one of those new, fancy flash hard drives, otherwise the system will spend so much time swapping that it won't get past the installer.

Oracle Upgrade 8.1.7.4 to 10g in Red hat linux

Dear All,
We are planning to upgrade our oracle database from 8i to 10g along with the Redhat linux upgrade from 2.4.9-e 27 ent to Red Hat Linux 5. In my study and also from Installation guides and oracle upgrade guides I made sure that its possible to upgrade our database from 8.1.7.4.
So I have planned the below options to do the same and not sure about the possibilities. If anyone have thoughts and idea on the same please suggest me.
We dont have plan to migrate the development hardware and the sap version is 4.7E
Option 1: Upgrade the Linux to 5 and then upgrading the database to 10g usign upgrade assistant tool
Option 2: Export the database using sapinst tool and then crashing the server. Installing linux5 and importing the database using sapinst tool.(I am aware this is not a good idea since there is no migration in hardware but it will be helpful in production since we are migrating the production system).
Option 3: Performing DBUA assistant in development and sapinst method in production.(helpful in disaster recovery)
Could you please suggest on the same?
My query is that.
If i am performing oracle export from 8.1.7.4 and if i am import the same in oracle 10g using the sapinst tool. Will this work? or it will create a problem in table level. I am looking for answers for this Question. Kindly explain me on this.
Regards
Vijay

Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
bash: NETCA: command not found
however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
directory that contains Oracle products.
Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
i then set the enviroment variable thus:
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
please help if u can.
olumide

Hi,
check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .

Oracle 8i/9i and Red Hat Linux version

Hi,
Does anyone know, which is the earliest version of Red Hat Linux
supported by Oracle 8i or 9i?
Regards

Hi,
I downloaded the 9i, the installation started ok and I was
able to complete the install procedure, but a few things did not
go as I planned:
1.- The installation MUST be run on the console X, and cannot
be run from a remote terminal (odd!).
2.- On a 2-CPU machine the installation didn't install all the
files for the sistem to start.
3.- During a second attempt the installer issued an error
regarding a compilation problem.
Can anyone help me, I can't get the installer running without
problems.

Oracle 8i Internet for Red Hat Linux

Hi all,
Can any one help me on this. I have setting up Red Hat Linux 6.2 and JRE 1.1.6v5-glibc also installed on /usr/local/jre directory. But when I try to run "runInstaller" from the oracle cdrom. I have the following error:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre Please wait ...
Error in Create OUIProcess(): -1
:Bad address
Any one can tell me what is the problem.
Thank you

Let me try again. I was to fast with the enter key. There is a known bug with the installer. The work around is to use the runInstall.sh that is in the subdirectory /install/linux. If you have your environment variables setup correctly this should work, also you need a minimum of 128 meg of ram on the machine.
Hope this helps.
