Installing Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU

Hello everyone,
I want to install Oracle Database Express Edition 11g on UBUNTU. I followed the steps from this link created by Dude:
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2303639?start=0&tstart=0
My problem becomes when I type in from the terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
I followed the instructions there, agreeing t HTTP port 8080, port database listener 1521, specifying a password for my database account, and wanting Oracle Express to be started on boot. This is what I'm getting:
Starting Oracle Net Listener...touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/listener': No such file or directory
Done
Configuring database...
Database Configuration failed. Look into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log for details
I have no idea what this means, so I went into the log's location and I found 4 of them, so I clicked on each of them, and this is what I'm getting:

Can somebody that knows this, or has installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu, to please explain it to me what does it mean and why am I getting those errors. Please explain thoroughly as if I am an amateur person, IN DETAIL, STEP-BY-STEP. I want to run it and make it work! I heard that it encourages people to answer for points. I am open for your suggestions and experiences, as long as it's not 'use common sense', 'you're dumb', or an answer that is vaguely explained. Thank you for those that take the time to read it.

Hi Pradeepcmst,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I found it sometimes misunderstanding on what he's trying to say - his instructions are not step-by-step and precise. Instead, I found this link that helped me a lot:

Connect Problems with Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2

Hello,
I am a student trying to install Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 and SQL Developer on my home system, Win7 64Bit, in order to practice some things I've learned from me DBA class and Developer classes.
Anyway, I have everything installed, but I am having difficulty connecting as SYS or SYSDBA in the 'Run SQL Command Line', I keep getting the ORA-01017: invalid username/password: logon denied.
However, If i select the 'Start Database' I get this:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin>
and I can type sqlplus / as sysdba and it starts up just fine and show user lists me as "SYS".
but if I go back to 'Run SQL Command Line' I still cannot connect as SYS or SYSDBA...I find this both confusing and frustrating. I don't know if I am in different instances or something like that, but I seem to be limited to connecting only as "SYSTEM". I need SYS because I want to practice creating datafiles, instances and things like that, but I seem to be lost.
Also, I am trying to create a new DB connection with SQL Developer and I can only us SYSTEM for my login which, if I understand correctly, will limit my privileges. Again When I try to sign in with SYS or SYSDBA I get error'd out. When I installed Ora11gDBExpress I was prompted in input a single password that was supposed to grant me access as SYS or SYSTEM, but I am limited to only SYSTEM for some reason.
So, I am looking for help/guidance as to what to do.
Thanks in advance for any and all help,
Warren

General rule of thumb, don't use sysdba unless you want to shut down the database, or grant a database user privileges on a sys object.
A SYSTEM connection is not "limiting", it has the DBA role which means a user with a system connection can do most anything needed, including select/update/delete/drop any user's objects as well as change parameters in the instance.
The system user can indeed add datafiles, tablespaces, etc. The instance and database should already be created as long as the installer completed all its chores correctly. For XE, per the license agreement only one instance can run on one host. If you want to try creating a database, it will require shutting down the XE instance and creating a new database service, creating the database, and installing the system catalog and any other optional components desired. Good practice indeed, but a bit advanced for the new user.
Do create users for schemas ... connect system; create user <username> identified by <password> and connect <username> for the schemas (a collection of objects) within the database. Grant the resource and create session privilege to <username> to allow the database user the ability to create tables, indexes, stored procedures, etc.
There is no "or" in a sys as sysdba connection, from 10g onwards a sys connection requires using the sysdba privilege. To enable a sysdba connection, add your host user to the ORA_DBA group on the host. To verify the OS users in the ORA_DBA group, this might work for win7, in a cmd box ...
$ net localgroup ora_dba
...If your OS user is in the ora_dba group the sys as sysdba password is not relevant, you can in fact type anything for a password. If you wish to connect with the sysdba privilege from a remote client, that is a bit different and requires knowing the password set in the instance password file. Which should be set the same as the system password defined in the installer, but you can change that by creating a new password file. Another slightly advanced topic.
In Windows IMHO its better to leave the listener and database set to Manual start (in the services applet, Start/Run/services.msc) and start the listener, then the database, when its needed. At least for an XE instance, as its intended for practice and learning RDBMS management.

Is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 enough for preparing for the 1Z0-051 and 1Z0-144 Exams?

I am planning on getting certified as an OCA PL\SQL developer. I will be teaching myself and I have all the material needed to prepare.
Except, I don't have a database that I can solve exercises on and practice commands.
The two exams I will be taking are the :
1Z0-051 exam: Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I
1Z0-144 exam: Oracle Database 11g: Program with PL/SQL
So is the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 is enough ?
If it is not what other options do I have (I am running Windows 8.1) ?

Yes -- 11gXE should be sufficient for practicing the vast majority of the skills required for those two exams. I *think* that PARALLEL is not enabled in XE, so you could not test the functionality referred to in the "Use NOCOPY hint, PARALLEL ENABLE hint and DETERMINISTIC clause" topic of 1Z0-144. I don't consider that to be a significant problem, however. The material from the manual should suffice for the questions you'll see.
As for what other options you have, you could download and install VirtualBox (free from Oracle). You could then make a virtual machine on your Windows 8.1 machine and install Oracle Linux (free from Oracle). You could then download and install Oracle Enterprise for Linux and install it on your virtual machine (allowable under the licensing when used for learning purposes only). I have a similar setup on my Windows 7 laptop that I use when I absolutely have to test some feature that requires Oracle Enterprise. Mind you, when I have the VM running on my system... it is ssssslllllloooooowwwwww because of the memory requirements. I talk about using virtual machines as a certification aid in the following article:

Does Oracle Database Express Edition 11g support CLOB datatype?

I am having problems in displaying CLOB data type columns when I query my tables in Oracle Database Express Edition 11g. I am getting garbage values. However when I do the exact same thing in the Enterprise Edition I do not have any problems. So I am thinking that the Express Edition does not support CLOB data types due to its size limitations. Am I missing something here?

Hi, and welcome to the OTN forums!
I download a year ago oracle 10g and installed in windows7/64bit.
Now 11g is available. But it says does not work in x64.Well, in fact, 10.2 XE wasn't certified for x64 either, not even for Linux x64...
11.2 XE has a Linux x86_64 release, and there has been an announcement that there'll be a x64 release for Windows as well, but it's not available (yet).
There have been a lot of reports that people got 11.2 XE work on x64 Windows machines as well, with a few tweaks at installation time and/or afterwards...
You'll find tons of posts on that topic when using forum search...
oracle 10g seems to be not available anymore.Right, the official downloads have been removed after all database 10.2 releases fell out of (regular) support.

or maybe there is another software which can import only specified number of rows/bytes? Then you would need to export according to "another software" rules/format as well.
As the table is not that big, one could copy the table, delete selected rows large enough, and export from that table copy instead.
If it's not possible, could you please be so kind and provide the full test-version of Oracle database without 11GB limitation?Oracle provides, under the OTN downloads license, SE and EE editions. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html

Installed Oracle database express edition but not can't access c: drive

I downloaded and installed oracle 10g express edition (universal) on my windows 7 64bit computer and went through the set up but I changed the default installed path to just c: drive (thinking it would create a folder by itself). After finishing the installation, my c: drive shows zero gb. When I try to open my c: drive I get a message saying "c:\ is not accessible. Access denied." All my files are there as i used folder shortcuts to access them. I tried uninstalling oracle but hit an error saying:
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is valid Windows installer package."
I can't install any programs or save/copy to any folder in my c: drive but I can save/copy to desktop.
Please help by any means, thanks.

This happens when you don't follow the installation guide and think you are smarter then the software.
When the installer warned you that the installation path you were choosing was not empty and asked you if you wanted to install anyway...You answered YES!
Now you lost you drive c: file system.
Tough luck!

Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release2 11.2.0 silent Installation failing with port8081 error

Hi everyone,
We are trying to create silent(unattended) install package to install Oracle database 11g express edition 11.2.0 silently on our machines. We modified the provided .iss file as per the requirement and tried to install with below command,
setup.exe /verbose /s /f1"c:\DISK1\response\oracleXE-install.iss" /f2"c:\DISK1\oracle_log.txt" /v" /l*v "c:\DISK1\oracle_msi_log.txt""
Installation is failing with below error from the log file,
1: OracleXE-Server-Install-Message: Port 8081 is in use. Specify a different port number.
Installshield 11:22:22: Installation aborts, ready to shut down.
Port 8081 is being used by mcAfee in our organization. We tried passing a different port number for Http in the response file(.iss), but it is failing with same reason. We have searched foruns and found that we need to stop the port8081 during the oracle XE installation and can start it later once the installation is completed. But As port 8081 is being used by McAfee in our organization, we could not stop it even during oracle XE installation as it creates security issues.
I am attaching the MSI log(failure log) and modified .iss(modfied .iss file to .iss.txt to be able to attach) files. Please look into it and suggest how can we achieve silent installation in this case.

Pl see previous discussions about this topic - seems to be a limitation of the silent install process

Can I install Oracle Database Express Edition(XE) on Windows 8 (64 bit)

Hi All,
I would like to know whether I can install Oracle Express Edition 11g Release 2 on Windows 8 - 64 bit . Please let me know this is for learning purpose only.

Currently, no Oracle software is certified to be installed on Windows 8. Certified OS versions for 11g XE are documented - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/index.htm
Installing on an unsupported OS may or may not succeed - if the instal succeeds, it is not a indication that the software will work as advertised - any issues you will have to troubleshoot on your own

I downloaded the version without the JDK, because I already had Java on my machine. I will try with the JDK included.
New update: I download the version with the JDK. I recevied the same message. Do I need to delete the first version of Java?
