Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
Regards

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

  • Not installing Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 2

    Hi,
    I am in problem to install Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 2 on Windows 2000 Pro. I have download OracleXE.exe but when i am double clicking on it, it is not working. What are the problems? Please help me
    Dulal

    Hello,
    Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
    However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
    But be careful:
    Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin

  • An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

    Hi,
    I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
    Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway,  I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

    Hi,
    Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
    Here's how I got rid of it.
    Addressing all the facts one by one,
    1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
    by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
    the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
    *$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
    2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
    Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
    password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
    to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
    password.
    Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
    replying this thread.
    Cheers,
    Prabath

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
    command it gives the following error & quit.
    [oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad address
    And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
    error.
    You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
    me at the moment.
    Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
    Thx in advance.

  • 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,

    2.Double-click "Services"
    3.On the list of NT Services, right-click "Print Spooler"
    4.Select "Stop"
    5.Select "Properties"
    6.Under Startup Type, select "manual" or "disabled"
    7.Reboot your NT Server
    8.After rebooting, verify that the Print Spooler is still "stopped".
    9.Delete Program Files\Common Files\Installshield\Engine folder
    10.Re-run the installer.
    11.After installation, re-set the Print Spooler service to Startup type "Automatic" and start the service.

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    I have installed Oracle on Win NT quite a few times. I am trying to get my hands dirty with Oracle on Linux.
    I have religiously followed all the steps in the installation guide except for changing kernel
    parameters and recompiling, as I was not very comfortable with kernel recompilation
    and also since I am using it only for testing and not for production, I felt the default
    values might suffice. I have installed the software but when I start creating the database
    it hangs after sometime saying 'Not connected to Oracle'. I have configured the listener
    seperately using netca and tried to create the database using dbassist, but could proceed no further.
    Kindly suggest way out.
