8.0.5 on redhat 6.0 HELL!

Hi
I have just spent a weekend trying to get the above to work. I
will admit that I am no unix guru or oracle dba, but I do have
5+ years tinkering in unix and 1 year with oracle.
But this weekend has been hell. The installer is a joke and the
procedure that has to be followed for redhat 6 is another one.
After following all the steps I still could not get the database
created! Numerous errors! I made it by hand using a 7.3 NT
script with alot of tweeking.
The plan was to see how apps server works, but I am way to
scared to try that, probably because I still have not been able
to start up the listner and some help the docs have been. (start
listener this way! - and if it doesn't start??)
I am homing oracle will take a feather out of mircosofts cap on
how to write an installer!
cheers

I must admit that it was a bit difficult at first but I found
specific instructions on the web. There are 5 packages that you
must download from redhat and a patch from Oracle.
I have VERY limited experience with both Oracle and Unix and I
was able to install 8.0.5 on a P120/4g in about 3 hours (after I
found the directions). It took about 4 hours for me to distill
the correct modifications to the init.d script in order to bring
listener/dbms up/down correctly, but for a complete novice it
was not as difficult as I had imagined.
E-mail me if you want that URL.

Hallo !
Three weeks ago I had successfully installed Oracle 8.0.5 on RedHat 6.1; some tips:
As described in ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux/README download the five compaitibility RPMS
compat-binutils-5.2-2.9.1.0.23.1.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-c++-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm
compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1.i386.rpm
compat-libs-5.2-1.i386.rpm
(I have got them from
ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/old-releases/redhat-6.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
and install them.
The glibcpath.tgz is available from OTN. Install it as described in the ORACLE RAEDME.
Good luck !

Oracle 8.1.7 and Redhat 6.2EE SIGSEGV when running netasst

I've managed to install this ok - at least the core server is fine.
Unfortunately when I attempt to run almost any of the graphical java admin. utilities, eg oemapp, dbasst, netasst, owm. They fail with something like:
SIGSEGV received at befffac0 in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6. Processing terminated
Writing stack trace to javacore1268.txt ... OK
The funny thing is dbasst actually runs about 1% of the times I run it. The rest never do.
I can run over applications that use X11 fine.
I am using the JRE that came with the oracle install (IBM1.1.8)
I have also tried other JREs.
I have also tried unset LANG (as mentioned in other posts)
Please help - I'm really stuck.

I've finally solved it!
I downloaded the following jre from blackdown:
jre118_v3-glibc-2.1.3-DYNMOTIF.tar.bz2
It's the only one that seems to work (and god, have I tried them all!)
I've no idea what the DYNMOTIF means (apart from being something to do with Motif - but you don't have to be a linux guru to work that out ;)) - but, hell, it works.
And after sitting in front of this machine for 3 days trying to deal with Oracle's, frankly PATHETIC install, that's so full of holes and bugs, that's all I care about..
The one bundled with Oracle 8.1.7 doesn't work with Linux redhat 6.2EE.
Don't oracle test their software?
Anyway I'm happy now, and I'm leaving this in case anybody else has the same problem.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Large Data file problem in Oracle 8.1.7 and RedHat 6.2EE

I've installed the RedHat 6.2EE (Enterprise
Edition Optimized for Oracle8i) and Oracle

'cat', 'dd', .... However, when I create a
large data file in Oracle, I get the
following error messages:

Netasst, Oracle 8.1.7, Redhat 7.1

When trying to run netasst the following error is generated:
/usr/oracle/bin/netasst:
oracle.net.asst.container.netapplication: Command Not Found.
The meaning of the issue is seems straight forward. However,
does anyone know how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

I do not know what is your problem. I have completed my Oracle
805 (standard edition) installation on RedHat 6.0, and everithing
works OK.
Of course you have to fix manually tnsnames.ora and change the
owner of some tnslistener files from root to oracle.
I also parformed chmod -R a+rx $ORACLE_HOME.
Anyway you are right, the Oracle documentation about the
installation is extremelly poor. This is normal for a company
like Oracle.

HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
generate errors.
Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
Workstation" configuration.
The Oralce CD is labeled:
"Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
Release 8.1.5
for Linux
(c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
umask 022
setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
xhost +
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstall
Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
./runIns.sh
3. runIns.sh and root.sh
I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
Typical (585MB)
Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Directory for Database Files: /u02
Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
(from the
"root" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
./root.sh
Problem: I got the error:
"bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x root.sh
./root.sh
5. Configuration Tools
The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
A. Net8 Configuration Agent
B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
the following error message:
"One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
required that these tools succeed for this installation.
You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
of the error):
"A required command line argument is missing."
The log file
"/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
"Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre
-Duser.dir=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/assistants/dbca/jlib

Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
6. dbassist
I executed:
dbassist
Problem: I got the following error:
"JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation."
Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
7. dbassist (cont.)
I selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Copy existing database files from the CD
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Problem: I got the following error:
"CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
Database not created."
(Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
8. dbassist, again
I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
Problem: I got the following error:
"ORA-01012: not logged on"
Workaround: Try, try again.
9. dbassist, one last time
Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:
"Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

Workaround: Beats me.
10. sqlplus
I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
message:
"/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
sqlplus
I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
this installation, starting with the very first command I was
supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
Please help.

I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
this version.
I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
disabled. This didn't help either.
Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
continue every step of the way.

Install Solution Manager in RedHat Enterprise 6 with Oracle 11

Hello ,
In the marketplace-PAM, RedHat Enterprise 6 is not listed as approved for EHP1 Solution Manager 7.0 64 bit (unicode) with Oracle.
Does anyone have any information on this subject?
Has anyone installed the Solution Manager 7.0/Oracle with RedHat Enterprise 6?
tks

Yes, you are correct. Apart from PAM, following Note confirms this. RHEL 6 is not supported yet for Oracle, is in planning stage.

Can not install Oracle on Redhat 7.3

I have installed Redhat 7.3 . I tried to install Oracle 8i Release 2 (8.1.6).
But when I try to run runInstaller, nothing runs, Applet(JRE) does not open.
what is the problem?
I have successfully installed this Oracle 8.1.6 on Redhat 6.2

Hi there;
Here is what I have done to install Oracle8i 8.1.7 on Redhat7.3:
Things you need to download:
JAVA:
Get the JDK - jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
Get the JRE - jre118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
use bzip2 OR tar:
tar -xvjf jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
as well for jre118
Symbolically link them:
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3/bin/java /bin/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3/bin/jre /bin/jre
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3 /usr/local/jre
After you: tar -xvf /tmp/linux81701.tar
chmod 777 Disk1
cd Disk1
chmod 777 runinstaller
Now you should be able to run the <runInstaller>
when you receive this error close to end just click on ignor:
Error in invoking target relink of makefile /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/precomp/lib/ins_ctx.mk" Or something similar
The below operations should be performed logged in as root.
changes must be done on the root.sh script:
line 102 Read:
RMF=/bin/rm -f
changed it to: RMF=`/bin/rm -f`
line 156
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}`
change it to:
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}'`
Execute the script root.sh.
Ignore the errors about not being able to delete the files.
After you finish with: Net8 Configuration Assistant:
The below operations should all be performed logged in as oracle.
cd $ORACLE_HOME<In my machine is:cd product/8.1.7>
tar -xvzf /tmp/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
./setup_stubs
Then exit from: $ORACLE_HOME
and edit .bash_profile OR .bashrc whichever you modified in preinstall
add the following line: export ORACLE_SID=<whatever you named it during install>
My machine read as this: export ORACLE_SID=oral
At this point I strongly suggest you logg out from Oracle Account and re-log again
Then edit this file: /etc/oratab
and change: *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:N To *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:Y
Now you can use dbstart and dbshut scripts from the command mode to start and stop the database.
most likely when you try to start the database for the first time you will receive
the error: ORA-01081<you can't star database is already startet>
Then go to svrmgrl and connect internal and type: shutdown Abort
re-start your Database and you are ready to go!!!!!!
Hope that is help

Can any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
Could not create JVM
i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.
pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

Hi,
check your host file under etc.
My guess is that you don't have correct hostname or IP, I have run into same problem and the the solution was to fix /etc/hosts.

I think 6.2 is easier, just follow read me instruction, on redhat 7.0 you must run patch to downgrade glibc from 2.2 to 2.1
