Changing Oracle Home Directory

I accidentally installed 8i Lite in the worng directory. How can I re-install it in another directory?

simply delete the existing copy...if on NT.. and make sure all the registry are taken off..
if on UNIX simply rename the ora_home path
good LUCK

Disc change - Oracle Home Dir.

Hi!
We need to change a disc on one of our servers. The Oracle Home directory is installed on this
disc.
We would like to proceed as follows:
1) Backup the entire database (in case of recovery/restore)
2) Copy the home directory to an external disc
3) Change disc, setup raid, create new partition with same disc label
4) Copy the home directory from the ext. disc onto the new disc
My question: Would Oracle recognize the new disc as the "old" disc or will the system throw an error?
Thanks!

You can change this in windows from regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_<ORACLE_HOME_NAME> and linux export ORACLE_HOME_NAME=<new name>

step5
When I click on test button I get this error:
Test failed (-2). Invalid Oracle Home directory

When you create the stand alone, in options you can actually set the temp directory and default directory. You can change it there OR in goto options and check for libraries/directories. You can change it there too.

PHP 5.0.5 CLI: Am I able to set the Oracle home directory at runtime?

I have two versions of Oracle installed on a SUN Solaris server:
/opt/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
Am I able to set the Oracle home directory at runtime using PHP CLI?
Thanks,

The real answer is it depends how PHP loads Oracle. If the loading
occurs when PHP starts and before your script executes then you will
start to see problems. This could be as minor as missing error
message text or it could be more subtle. In general set the Oracle
environment before starting PHP.
What about creating your scripts like:
#!/bin/sh
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
php ...-- cj

How to change users home directory home folder name?

Is there a way in Mountain Lion to simply change the name of the home directory home folder name without it throwing off anything else for that particular user?
I read the article about 'Enabling and using the "root" user', but it specifically says for 'Lion' and not 'Mountain Lion'
When I get to step 8 there is no clear place to enter an adminstator account name and password so I can't go any further.
I also did a quick test with a newly created user and after setting some preferences and customizing the desktop, I changed the home directory name and I pretty much lost all my preferences after logging back in. It's as if changing the home directory name in any way shape or form literally wipes out the previous user and you have to start anew.
I don't want to risk changing the home directory name and end up losing essentially my whole user setup, but I really want a different name for my home directory and I don't want anything else to change. Is this possible?
Thanks

Hi Blastic,
I'm trying to do the same thing. I did follow Apple's instructions and while they are easy to follow.....I was unable to rename the folder as described (clicking on it or pressing enter). I did enable root user, I did log out and re-log in as root user.....and I got stopped. I simply could not rename the folder as per Apple's instructions and ther is NOTHING on the internet about it......save for your beacon of light! Thanks for the post. I'm using 13 inch MacBookPro Mid 2010 2.4 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB ram, OS 10.8

Change the home directory from terminal for another copy of the OS.

Mac Mini OS X 10.8.1
Main drive for OS Vertex 4 SSD
Data on other Drive Seagate Goflex Thunderblot 3TB on a 1 TB Partition.
Backup of both Main drive and Data drive on a 3rd drive.
When i boot into the back it uses the data from the thunder bolt drive and not the data drive backup.
If the orginial data drive ever became damaged and i need to point to the other data backup drive can this be done from terminal on another boot drive.
let says Drive A is the OS X 10.8
Drive B is the main data drive.
Drive C has 2 partition C1 for OS X and C2 for Data backup.
When booting from Drive C it gets its data from Drive B because its a clone of A.
If drive B becomes dmaged I will not be able to boot from drive C. ( This has happend )
With a Clean install on drive D I can boot. How can i use terminal to Tell Drive C1 to use data from C2 instead of Drive B?
Hope I explained this well.

Can you explain exactly what "the issue" is?
You can use dscl from the command line to change a home directory (as described in this hint), but that still requires you to be using that startup volume. Hence, it is no different than using System Preferences. If System Preferences won't work for you, then dscl probably wouldn't either.

Re-config of ssh fails after changing Oracle Home while installing RAC

Hi,
Red Hat Linux 5
Oracle 10.2.0.1 RAC installation
While installing Oracle RAC under ORACLE user we are Configuring ssh for the first time works fine. If any changes done (Eg: i changed the home path of oracle user), then the ssh configuration will prompt for password no matter how many times you reconfigure the ssh.
I have created another OS user orclusr instead of oracle to over come this issue
Have any one came across this situation or finds a solution, please reply back.

Hi,
One of the most important reasons for building Real Application Clusters is stability.
Changing the Oracle Home, after the cluster is built is about 180 degrees counter to this philosophy.
I agree with this but we face the error while installing oracle cluster
here is my scenario:
create oracle user on both the nodes(rac1,rac2):
1) my first oracle home - /home/oraclePart of thinking these things through before proceeding is to recognize that the concept of ORACLE_HOME is not the same as the $HOME directory for the OS user who happens to be named "oracle".
Since you appear to be still in the process of building this system, I'd suggest you go back to square one while you can.
2) configure ssh on both the nodes
3) due to sapce constraint in /home mount point we changed the oracle home to /oracle
4) so my new oracle home is /oracle
5) re-configuring of ssh is working fine, no error's
6) but if i issue the below command ssg date rac2 it prompts for password why ?
Any possibility to over come this issue ?

How can I change my "Home directory" folder name?

Hello, everyone.
I was given a pre-owned MacBook Pro that's running OS 10.6.8. How can I change the name on the Home directory folder? I was able to change the Administrator Account settings, but the Home directory still shows the previous owner's name. It bothers me a bit, though, to see the previous owner's name still come up on the Home folder.
I came across the instruction listed below, but I can't get past step 4. It instructs me "rename it just like I would rename any folder." I can't seem to rename it, though. The cursor doesn't come up when I click on the folder name.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I followed this https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3872
and got to the stage of having renamed my Home folder with the new name but the Home folder is STILL designated to the old name?
When I try and create a new user with the new name, I don't get asked if I'd like to use the existing name as Home folder, I get told I can't use the newname because it exists already - thats the end of it - no further options.
So to clarify - I now have oldname folder STILL assigned as Home folder. A newname folder with all my stuff in - apps, desktop, etc etc but this is just another user folder.
Interestingly at login stage, the oldname folder isn't an option. I think I've confused the system somewhere by titling things differently at some stage in an attempt to rename Home folder.
I'm running Mountain Lion (as of yesterday) and because I've kinda lost the use of my User folder as the Home folder, can't get to my Time Machine. I'm in trouble but I'm trying not to panic. Would appreciate any help!

How I can changes oracle binary directory

I just upgrade sucessful from ver 9.2.0.4 to 9.2.0.7. this issue is cousmitic the binary directory still call 9.2.0.4 instead of 9.2.0.7. there is easy way to solve this issue. I would like to call this binary directory call 9.2.0.7
any advise please thanks

Renaming of ORACLE home technically possible. However for the following reasons it is not recommended.
1) There are certain files under ORACLE_HOME which stores hardcoded ORACLE_HOME name value.
2) Inventory information might become obsolete and future patch installs may not possible.
You can also think about creating a soft link for 9.2.0.4 as 9.2.0.7 This way it will be easier and less complicated for you!

How to find the oracle home directory of a particular database ?

Hi all,
There are multiple databases in our machine server ; there are many oracle9i and many oracle10g databases.
I forgot the directory where I installed a particular database so I want to know how to know the directory path where its oracle_home was. For example C:\Orant\Bin.
Thank you very much indeed

Yea friend .
I m agree with u . Because In my Linux server There are 2 database . I have to use Automatic run script (use dbstart) for Database so that Datbase will be auto up during startup. My default oracle Home for Oracle user is "/ORACLE" and also mention it i Oracle ".bash_profile" .
I give the entry into "/etc/oratab " Like following :
vi /etc/oratab
test1::/oracle:Y
test2::/oracle:Y
But One database (test1) is up during startup the server but another (test2) is not . I dont understand the problem .... can anybody give me some suggestion ?
In this pint , If Oracle Home is the problem then How can I find the Oracle Home regarding these two databases ?
