Newbie wants to install Oracle on Linux

Hello there
As a novice, I'm keen to get cracking on installing Oracle on
Linux.
As yet I have not purchased a copy of Linux. I intend running my
setup on an IBM 560E Thinkpad with 80 Meg of RAM.
I'm interested to hear opinions on which versions of Linux
would result in the least hassle and / or most functionality etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi John,
I'm also quite new to linux/"free OS". The first thing you will
need to do is get a Linux distribution. I personnaly tried 3
different ways : Slackware, Red Hat and FreeBSD (which is not
linux, but is in some ways compatible with linux binaries).
The best I can say is : If you are new to linux, take Red Hat as
it is most simple and straight forward to install. Drawback : you
need 450 MB disk space for installation as Red Hat install you
everything you need (and perhaps more than that) to have a
running workstation (including a running X Window GUI and lots
of programs). And that is also the + point of Red Hat. To give
you an idea, I felt Red Hat easier to install on my Compaq
Presario than any Windows...
On the other hand Slackware is far more flexible if you know what
you are doing... (so was FreeBSD a year ago when I tested it).
Finally, you mention that you will be installing on a laptop. I'm
not sure that the best idea since laptops are not among the
easyest to configure. Be sure to check www.linux.org (in the
material compatibility section) where the could have some good
tips to get you up and running.
I haven't installed Oracle yet so I cannot say much on this.
Cheers
Paul

    What does it give you a screenshot step-by-step installation guide?
    What if something does not match, or goes wrong?
    Then you start asking for a screenshot of the solution ??
    I am sorry if this offends you, but if you want to start using a complex product as an Oracle database, then screenshots are not enough.

  • Pleae help me: I want to install oracle developer on win server 2008

    please help me i am try to install oracle developer 10g on win server 2008 but failed because the version of operating system not 5 or 5.1 or 5.2 and it is 6
    so i want to install oracle developer 11g on win server 2008 but i am not found oracle developer 11g to download it
    please any one help me to solve this problem or help me to find oracle developer 11g
    Thank you

    Oracle Developler 11g is now called Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMw) 11g and can be downloaded from the Oracle Fusion Middleware Downloads page. You have to download and install WebLogic Server (WLS) 10.3.3 first, then scroll down and download and install Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.3.0).
    When you install WLS, make sure you do not run the configuration step. When you install FMw, it will configure the WLS as part of it's configuration step.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

  • Want to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g R2 on Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Hi,
    I have windows 7 (64-bit) installed on my laptop. I want to install Oracle developer suite 10g R2 on this machine but when I run the Oracle Universal Installer, it gives me error stating "operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1, 5.2. Actual 6.1 Failed<<<<
    Exiting OUI.
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Developer Suite 10 is not certified or supported to be installed on Win7 (64bit). Although it can be done, you will have problems later if you manage to get it installed. If you really want to have it on your Win7 laptop, I encourage you to install "Windows XP Mode", which is part of Windows Virtual PC. This is free to licensed Win7 users (does not apply to Home edition). Refer to the following:

    This looks like a follow up of Re: Error after installing Oracle Enterprise Linux (Release 5) on Dell T 110
    Can you give more details what you are trying to do or trying to accomplish. Where are you trying to ping to?
    It could be that you have not defined your gateway or DNS server for name to IP mapping. What is the output of
    # netstat -rn
    # cat /etc/resolv.conf

  • I want to install Oracle 8i and forms 6i on xp

    Thanks

    Get into a time machine and go back about 20 years. ;-)
    You are asking about something hopefully no one has done for a decade ... installing desupported software on a desupported database on a desupported operating system on, perhaps, some antique server.
    Perhaps someone else kept their notes from back in the Jurassic period but mine were in a recycle bin many many years ago.
    If you really wish to do this I suspect you are going to be stuck doing it the way we did back then ... read the docs accompanying the installation files.

  • I want to install oracle on mac os x lion

    i want to install oracle on mac os x lion

    I don't believe Oracle makes a version for the Mac. Ask tech support at Oracle. Or you can try with other database applications for the Mac such as:
    FileMaker Pro
    Excel from Office 2011 for OS X
    MySQL
    These are three good ones. There is an Access-like database program as part of Libre Office that is compatible with OS X. There are many OS X compatible applications for accessing and using Oracle databases, but not creating them.

  • How Do I Install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on My Virtual Machine

    I would like to know the steps required to install Oracle Unbreakable Linux on my Virtual Machine, cos i tried to but i keep having problems when i get to selecting the destination for the installation, the prompt says i have to allow it format my hard disk wont i lose my files in the process.

    When you create a virtual disk for your VMWare instance the format will only affect this disk. You can see this as it will display the size of the disk. If this is the size of the virtual disk (default = 8 GB) then go ahead. If this looks like your normal HD just stop and read the VMWare installation Guide from www.vmware.com

  • Install Oracle Enterprise Linux

    We have an old workstation (Dell Precision WorkStation 530 with 2.40 GHz Intel Xeon processor, 2 GB RAM, and 3 36-GB hard dirves) and I would like to use it as a test box for Oracle on Linux. I tried to install Oracle Enterprise Linux, but it stuck at the some point every time, either during installing libraries/modules or formatting disk. The place the installation stuck varies. It does give any error message, but the installation just stops there fore hours or days. I tried Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 DVD, Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 DVD, and latest image CDs downloaded form metalink. All have the same issue. That installation starts as normal, then slow down, then freeze. I tried installing Fedora Core on the box using CDs from a Linux book yesterday, but it was successful and worked fine. I am wondering where there are some hardware incompatibility or other issues associated with the box. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    George

    Hi, George.
    I think you'll have to determine the motherboard and other periferals in your machine to find out which one is incompatible with OEL. The most probable culprit is the motherboard. Find out which model it is and Google, using the model and the term "Enterprise Linux" (or RHEL or Centos, they are all the same).
    There may be workarounds, if it's indeed an incompatibility issue: settings in the CMOS Setup or advanced parameters for booting the installation -- usually related to the drives (HD, DVD, SATA mode etc) or to P'n'P periferals (USB, for instance).

  • Oracle 817 does not want to install on RH Linux (ORA-03113)

    I am trying to install Oracle 817 on RH Linux with kernel

    But each time I try to create a database, I would be getting this error:

    After Forms 6i it is only possible to run the Forms web based. Inside the the Developer Suite you can find an OC4J which allows you to run the Forms locally on the Development PC.
    There are setting in the formsweb.cfg which allows you to do some configuration. For instance the look and feel which is by default the green color. The size of your window which makes your current window smaller than your Form.
    At your last question. Do you want the other user to make use of your Forms or make use of your database. If you want him to make use of your Forms, the other user could call the locally installed OC4J with the http-address. If you want the user to make use of the database, the other pc should have a installed client software or make use a tool like SQL Developer to connect over JDBC.
