Hi,
I think that Feedbak forum is not the best place for this problem.
You should ask this into

or

Anyway, you can find an install doc here :

Oracle 10g Express on Fedora Core 6

What a mess!!!! This thing does not want to work at all. Install (followed directions explicitly) seemed to go fine, but attempting to go to database home page just comes up with the firefox error page that site cannot be found. Tried to use SQL*Plus to create a tablespace, no go. Tried to create a user, no go. Opened all kinds of ports in my firewall (1521 for listener, 8085 for server) and my router for good measure. Nothing. Starting the listener seems to take forever, and it says it has started, but I don't think that is true. Trying to start or stop the database using the menu commands gives me a terminal window with the message "Operation failed, root is not a member of 'dba' group." I really need this to work so I can do some work from home. Anyone have any ideas?

What is your 'SEL:inux' config? In general I've found that SELinux blocks most of the commands needed to set up Oracle XE so I simply turn it off.
SQLPlus uses 1521 for the initial connect with the listener, but the followup connect with the server is on a random port. Selectively opening ports may not do much good.
Oracle was blasted hard by the Unix community in the '90s for using root. "No self respecting *nix administrator would permit the use of root for anything other than system config." So Oracle went out of their way to make sure the only time root is needed - or permitted - is during install. In fact, a good install of Oracle in *nix will not permit root to run the database as it can be a serious security issue. Instead, any user who is part of the ORADBA group (group dba by default) can do all admin. The official Oracle owner, by default 'oracle' can, of course, do it all.

Oracle 9i Client on Fedora Core 3

Has anyone managed to successfully install Oracle 9 Client on Fedora Core 3? Installing the 10g Client was no problem, but I need to run the 9i Client as the 10g Client cannot be used when connecting to 9i our Management Server.
All help appreciated!

you need to tell path to script.
like /instatntclient_odbc.sh /usr/local
/usr/local is the place where unixodbc configuration fiels are placed
If you are done with your setup.
Can you please let me know whether oracle client software is also required or oracle instant client 10g and odbc will work

Running Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition: Multicore or MultiProcessor

I have the option of running Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition on a SunFire v480 (4 x 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC III) or a Sunfire T-2000 with a 1Ghz 8-core processor. Assume both machines will be running Solaris 10 as the operating system and have comparable amounts of RAM.
What would be the best choice for performance, and why? Does Oracle 10g have any optimizations that enhance it's ability to run on a multi-core or multi-processor system, or is that mostly dependent on the OS itself?
Message was edited by:
nholst

Each (dedicated) oracle connection has its own process, plus all of the background processes. This means they will benefit from multiple cpu/core architectures. Assuming that the multi-core solution appears to the OS as multiple processors, it will be the best solution since you have the most CPU power. Be sure to check the licensing rules for multi-core processors, there are some special rules about them.

Hey not all of us have a religionok, I extend my statement to those with a different religion, atheists, agnostics and anybody who does not beliefe in a divine being of any kind ;-)
some of us are bright enough to be atheistsThe implicit statement of this is not better than greeting only users of a certain religion.

Cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB

Hello,
I cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB, because when the the configuration assistant installer try to copy the db files, it stop with the following errors:
ORA-24324 Service Handle not Initialized
ORA-24323 Value not authorized
ORA-28547 Connection to Server failed probable Oracle NET ADMIN errorRegards
Siyavuş

You should be connected as a local administrator to perform the install process.
Try to perfom a software only install, then once you make sure the installation was successful, launch the dbca. It is important for you to use a local account to perform the installation and db setup process, otherwise, if you have authentication problems, even if you comment the authentication line at the sqlnet.ora file you will be facing issues that will make fail the assistant, since it is designed to work assuming the user is OS authenticated.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.

Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.
i want to use other browser for oracle form like firefox,google chrome etc not IE.

Hussain Afridi wrote:
Why Other Browser cannot run oracle forms without IE.Let aside we don't know what forms version you are using, your statement is simply wrong. I am running Forms 10gR2 with Firefox for quite some time (from 2 to 12 and now with 10.0.7 ESR). So I know for a fact that you can run Forms with other Browsers then IE. Also why would Oracle certify other Browsers (which they did) if it wouldn't work in the first place?
So to answer your "question": forms most certainly won't work on FF on your side because you didn't configure your formsweb.cfg properly. For newer Versions of Fírefox you'd have to use the Sun JPI instead of JInit:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/documentation/forms-jre-131772.pdf
Also if you'd have used the forum search it would have come up with some informations on what to do; e.g.
Running Oracle Forms applications using Firefox 3.6
So to sum it up you should reprhase your original question to:
How do I use the forum search/google to search for informations already provided a hundred times?cheers

Oracle 9i and 10G in same Fedora Core 4 machine

Hi Friends,
I am intalling Oracle 9i(9.2.0.4.0) and 10G(10.2.0.1.0) on a Fedora Core4 machine.
I alredy installed Oracle 10G under,
USER : oracle
# useradd -u 1001 -g oinstall -G dba -d /oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 -m oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall oracle /oraeng
# chown -R oracle:dba oracle /disk1 ( disk1 for databases)
.bash_profile
===========
ORACLE_BASE : /oraeng/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME : /oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH : $ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
How to install Oracle 9i in the same machine?
Regards
Mathew

Hi,
Do I have to create a seperate user (eg: oracleuser) for installing oracle 9i database software?
So at that time, by using
#usradd -u 1002 -g oinstall -G dba -d /oraeng/app/oracle/product/9/2/0 -m oracleuser
#chown -R oracleuser:oinstall /oraeng
I think the second command will change the ownership of the /oraeng direcory from 'oracle' user to 'oracleuser' user. 'oracle' user is created erlier for 10G installation
Regards,
Mathew

Oracle 10g Express on Fedora 14 64-bit howto

I wanted to test Oracle 10g XE using VMware and Fedora 14 and found the installation instructions form Oracle somewhat outdated and confusing. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm. Here are my installation notes - perhaps someone will find them helpful.
h3. Installation of Fedora and Oracle 10g XE:
h4. 1) Install Fedora 14 Desktop 64-bit form the Live DVD using the defaults.
Note: To open a terminal window, select Terminal from Applications/System Tools menu.
h4. 2) Edit /etc/selinux/config to disable SELinux:
# su - root
# vi /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
h4. 3) Install required software including 32-bit libraries:
$ su - root
# yum install install bc libc.so.6 libaio.so.1 gcc libaio compat-libstdc++-33
h4. 4) Download and install Oracle 10g XE:
http://technet.oracle.com
$ su - root
# cd /home/<your_usename>/Downloads
# yum install --nogpgcheck oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
h4. 5) Configure Oracle 10g XE:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
h4. 6) Configure your regular fedora user account:
$ su - root
# /usr/sbin/groupadd -r dba
# usermod -G dba <your username>
# su - <your username>
$ echo "source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh" >> $HOME/.bashrc
Logout for the change to take affect!
To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
h3. Remote Access:
h4. 1) Enable remote ssh login:
$ su - root
# service sshd start
# chkconfig --level 345 sshd on
h4. 2) Configure Network Firewall from System/Administration menu:
Other Ports
Add
User defined
Do this for ports 8080 and 1521
Apply
h3. VMWare Tools installation:
+Note: configure your guest OS for Bridged Networking and fixed IP+
$ su - root
# yum install gcc make kernel-devel perl
At your VMware guest menu, select "install VMware Tools"
Right click on VMwareTools-xxx.tar.gz and extract it to the Desktop
Open a terminal window and type the following:
$ su - root
# cd /home/<your_username>/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib
# ./vmware-install.pl
Continue to press Return and accept defaults.
# reboot
h3. Troubleshooting:
h4. ssh port 22: Connection refused
The Network Firewall is enabled by default, but port 22 is open.
You may try to simply disable/apply and enable/apply and try again - strange, but worked for me.
( +service iptables restart+ did not resolve this)
h4. Check if the ssh daemon is running:
# lsof -i tcp:22
h4. Use sqlplus to reset your passwords:
Make sure you properly configured your regular fedora user account as outlined above:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
h4. Start and stop Oracle XE:
# su - root
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
h3. Related Links:

I got Oracle 11gR2 running on 64-bit Fedora 14 x86_64 - you do need a mix of x64_86 and i686 (32-bit) packages as given here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285/toc.htm
These aren't exact matches on version numbers so when runInstaller doesn't pass validation, just check "Ignore". This will fail during linking, so follow along below and the rest will go smoothly:
installation error in invoking target 'agent nmhs'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi.
So you want to build for fedora 13 without getting the error...
When you start to install with ./runInstaller, run in another terminal window (as root)
ls $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk
At first this will produce an error, as the installer wont have created this file yet.
Once the file exists, do:
vi $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk
Search for the line
$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL)
Change it to:
$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL) -lnnz11
If you do it within 30-40 seconds of the file appearing, you should not get any errors and the build will go fine. If you get an error, finish your edit then click on retry.
Hope that helps.
Gordon.

Unable to run oracle 10g developer suite

Hi,
I have installed both on oracle 10g express and oracle 10g developer suite on my laptop running XP home edition. The database is running , but I can not get form developer to run. The error message as "ORA-12154-TNS:could not resolve service name"
My questions are: 1) does 10g developer suite have to run as client-server platform? Can it be stand-alone? 2) or, it is because XP Home edition? 3) Can 10g developer run on Express edition?
Thanks.

but I can
not get form developer to run. The error message as
"ORA-12154-TNS:could not resolve service name"Is the form builder software opening (appearing).
Are you able to connect through XE's SQL Command?
The error you are getting is because forms cannot connect to the database, and not because it is not running.
You need to configure the tnsnames.ora file found unde
%ORACLE_HOME%/NETWORK/ADMIN/tnsnames.ora.
you can either configure it manually or by using the Net Configuration Assistant found under Start -> My programs ->%oracle_home% -> Oracle configuration and migration Assist.
Manual:<Service_name> =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <hostname> or localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = <sid_name>)
)If You have XE installed your connection identifier would probably must look like something like this. you can just copy paste it.
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)The port number 1521 is the default, if you changed it during installation then use the port number you have specified during installation.
1) Orcale Developer suite 9i and above are for web deployment and not client server.
2) what you mean by standalone? do the configuratin above and it should work.
3) Oracle products are not certified for windows home edition (but I have seen them working) but keep in minde that you will face many problems since the OS is not supported one.

CANNOT START ORACLE 10G IN OPENSUSE 11.1

Hallo!I managed to install successfully the Oracle 10g on OpenSUSE 11.1.
I have tried to configure the machine so that the Oracle listener and database start up when the computer boots by trying to open the /etc/oratab and trying to change the ‘N’ at the end to a ‘Y’.
Unfortunately,the /etc/oratab does not exist in my system.But I have been able to open YaST and Go to /etc/sysconfig Editor > Productivity > Databases > Tools > Oracle > DB and change the following to “yes”:
- START_ORACLE_DB
- START_ORACLE_DB_LISTENER
- START_ORACLE_DB_EMANAGER
- START_ORACLE_DB_ISQLPLUS
Unluckily,when I type the following commands at the terminal,I get the response that they (the commands) do not exist
a. Start Oracle listener – lsnrctl start
b. Start Enterprise manager services – emctl start dbconsole
c. Start iSQL *Plus – isqlplusctl start
d. Check if sqlplus is working:
sqlplus “connect / as sysdba“
How do I solve this problem?

Hallo!I am using openSUSE 11.1 i586.Moreover I installed Oracle 10g R2 from the zipped file 10201_database_linux32 .These are the steps I followed to install Oracle 10g into my Linux platform.I borrowed them from 2 web pages
Oracle_on_openSUSE || The URL-http://en.opensuse.org/Oracle_on_openSUSE
Installing Oracle 10g on openSUSE 10.3||The URL-http://tianawarner.blogspot.com/2008/08/installing-oracle-10g-on-opensuse-103.html
1)I ensured that the packages below have been installed first
-kernel-source
binutils
gcc
gcc-c++
glibc
libaio
libaio-devel
make
gnome-libs
libstdc++
libstdc++-devel
xscreensaver
sysstat
3)I then installed orarun
4)Log in as super user and go to /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh.Change the variable ORACLE_HOME to /home/JOEY
5) Configure the new oracle user.
a. Type passwd oracle in the terminal. Change the password for the oracle user.
b. Type rcoracle start to set kernel parameters. Ignore any errors.
c. Go to YaST > User Management. To see the oracle user, set the filter to System Users.
- Find the oracle user and click edit.
- Uncheck disable user login.
- Go to the details tab and make sure the login shell is set to /bin/bash.
7)Copy the oracle s/w from CD,unrar it and store unzipped folder as oracle on the Desktop
8)Modify the ‘certified versions’ section of the disk’s /install/oraparam.ini file, to add support for openSUSE 11.1. Just add SuSE-11 to the end of the line.
9)Set the DISPLAY. As administrator type in xhost +. Log in as the oracle user by typing su - oracle and then type export DISPLAY=:0
10)Set updated kernel parameters by executing rcoracle start.
11)Log out as root.Log in as normal user at the shell.Move into the oracle folder in the terminal and run ./runInstaller.
12)The OUI dialog box appeared,I entered the password in the two password entry text boxes.I left the default database as orcl.I never did any other command based configuration.Just used the OUI to proceed installation in the simplistic manner that one uses while installing Oracle in Windows.
13)I did get 2 errors (I cannot remember them)but I ignored them and proceeded to finish the Oracle installation.
14) I tried to Configure the machine so that the Oracle listener and database start up when the computer boots.
a. Type gedit /etc/oratab from root. Change the ‘N’ at the end to a ‘Y’.I tried this but could not find the oratab file.
b. Open YaST. Go to /etc/sysconfig Editor > Productivity > Databases > Tools > Oracle > DB. Change the following to “yes”:
- START_ORACLE_DB
- START_ORACLE_DB_LISTENER
- START_ORACLE_DB_EMANAGER
- START_ORACLE_DB_ISQLPLUS
15)I successfully implemented part b above
When I tried to perform the following checks:
a. Start Oracle listener – lsnrctl start
b. Start Enterprise manager services – emctl start dbconsole
c. Start iSQL *Plus – isqlplusctl start
d. Check if sqlplus is working:
sqlplus “connect / as sysdba“
I received the errors commands do not exist.
Please give me a correct step-by-step guide of how to install the Oracle.If I will need to uninstall my Oracle in order to install it correctly,please give me a step by step uninstallation guide.
Thanks in advance.
