DBCA hanging on 9i Rel 2 / Red Hat 8.0

O/S: Red Hat 8.0
DBMS: 9i Release 2
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2600
RAM: 1GB (Swap 2GB)
Disk partition: 10GB
As with many other correspondents of this forum, DBCA hangs at 51% progress. I have set all kernel parameters and ulimit sizes as documented, to no avail. I have tried using both BASH and KSH. HOWEVER, the parameters SHMMIN, SHMSEG and SHMVMX don't appear to exist. Maybe that's my problem...?
Many thanks in advance.

Try following instructions listed here instead.

P.S. You've a very powerful machine. 1GB... wow.

DBD 1.03 hangs in make test on Red Hat 6.0 with 8i

DBD-Oracle-1.03 is hanging running test.pl in make test.
top showed perl eating 95%+ cpu usage, and strace showed no
system calls being called. I first encountered this
identical hang with DBI-1.06.tar and DBD-Oracle-0.61, but
upgraded them before reporting this bug. Here's the
pedigree:

Do you have perl, DBD, and 8i running on Red Hat 6.0? If
so, can you try running the short test program below and see
if it hangs?

Database Configuration Assistant for 8.1.61 and Red Hat 6.1

This is my first install and I'm a little confused.
Im installing Oracle Enterprise 8i release 2 (aka 8.1.6.1) on a Linux box (Red Hat 6.1). When Oracles Installer gets to the Database Configuration Assistant, it runs for awhile and then gives me this error:
ORA-03114 not connected to ORACLE
When I click OK to dismiss the message, it just hangs there. If I get to a shell and kill off a few of the DbCA processes, I eventually get back to the Installer and I can Exit. It says that the installation was successful but the sample database was not created.
Ive tried this twice now. Same result each time.

Hi,
I've got the same problem. dbassist and svrmgrl give me the same errors.
I'm using Oracle 8.1.6.1.0 on Mandrake 7.1. With the 2.2.15-4mdksecure kernel.
SVRMGR> CONNECT INTERNAL
Connected
SVRMGR> STARTUP NOMOUNT
ORA-00445: background process "PMON" did not start after 120 seconds

Any ideas?
This is driving me nuts!!!

Do you have oracle9i relink problem on Red Hat 7.1? READ THIS!

Red Hat 7.1 ld program has problem.
because that is applied elf_i386_glibc21 emulation patch for oracle8i.
downgrade binutils package or rebuild excluding glibc21 emulation patch.
and relink all :)
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.1-en/os/i386/SRPMS/binutils-2.10.91.0.2-3.src.rpm

What about instead the java tools like
netasst and dbca (or also srvconfig srvctl:
I used the oracm config without using those tools for configuring rac).
Anyone found how to have them running on rh 7.1? I tried some suggestions from the list
but none works.
Bye,

Oracle Installation errors on Red Hat AS 2.1

Hi, I've installed Oracle 9i on a Red Hat AS 2.1, but after the installation, when running the Database Configuration Assistant gave this error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
I found an installation guide on http://www.puschitz.com and it recommends you, when this error comes up , to remove the shared memory segments owned by oracle, and i did so, it just couldn't remove on , which chmod was 777..after that i retry the Database configuration assistan and it failed again but telling me a different error happened:
ORA-12571:TNS:Packet writer failure....
And i tried again and got the same error i got in the first place...and so on, and so on....
What can i do????
thanks...
Mario

Hi Paulo,
The problem is in the jre in your $ORACLE_BASE directory. The data in jre is corrupted, you can see the note 230693.1 "Netassist and Dbassist Hanging on RedHat Advanced Server (RHAS)" in metalink, and resolv your problem sure...
Good Luck

8.1.7. on Red Hat 7.0

I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 standard edition on Red Hat Linux 8.1.7. After installing all the selected products the network configuration assistant started and never returned. When I try to use any of the assistants (netasst, dbassist, ...) they hang up immediately when they try to call the Java runtime environment.
Oracle 8.1.6 works fine on the same machine (after patching glibc...). can anybody help me?
TIA

Hello:
Attempting to install Oracle8i on Red Hat 7.0
and cannot get a database to initilize. It hangs up. I was interested in your comment about others having problems. Where did you read this? The install completes but as I said, I cannot build the database. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks Art

Oracle 9i manual database creation on the Red Hat 9 Linux

I installed Oracle 9I on the Red Hat 9 Linux successfully with automatic database creation.
I tried to create second database manually and everything seemed to be fine until I issued create database statement. I got the following error:

Please help me to solve the problem.
Thank you,

Ok I am having the same exact problem and I am typing this into the shell before I run the installer.
export DISPLAY=yourdesktop:0.0
I thought that would fix the problem but it still hangs and gives the same message as the other guy gets. How can I solve this problem and get the installer running? I would really appreciate any help. This is the message I get:

Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
bash: NETCA: command not found
however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
directory that contains Oracle products.
Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
i then set the enviroment variable thus:
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
please help if u can.
olumide

Hi,
check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .

Do we have CSS file size constraint in PT8.52/Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3?

Hi All,
We are facing an issue with CSS. We able upload a css file > 16 kb of size with out any issues in the web server. But those styles are not working.
When we checked our local cache floder CSS file it is not having all styles. It looked like more than 16kb of data got truncated.
Not sure whether we have file size constraint in PT8.52/Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3(64 bit) os.
Is there any other way to overcome this problem?
Thanks,

Hello All
We have an application that uses

The application runs fine for few days and that it would crash.
When we see the log files we do not see any error logs. Also no dump file is produced.
This has been happening for two weeks now, and I am clueless. Any suggestion would surely be of great help.
The server is running in Production env, we cannot change from WL 8.1 SP3, however if we want, we can upgrade the JDK version

Installing Java EE SDK on 64-bit Red Hat Linux

I've went through a lot of pain to get J2EE SDK / GlassFish server on a AMD64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server box. Maybe it helps somebody.
Long story short, it all seems to boil down to the fact that the J2EE Linux .bin (non-RPM) packages Sun provides require a 32-bit JVM running. So if you just installed 64-bit JDK you're toasted.
Chronicle of pain and solution below:
Downloaded the Linux packages for full EE5 SDK, also the bundle for GlassFish from http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/
Tried ./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u17-linux.bin No luck. First I didn't have libstdc++.so.5 but so.6. I did
yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Tried again. It hanged:
*** glibc detected *** ... double free or corruption error
Downloaded the JDK RPM version. It worked fine:
# java -version
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.3-b01, mixed mode)
Let's go again with EE SDK. Nope. Different error this time:
*** glibc detected *** ./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u17-linux.bin: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0992d2c0 ***
Tried setting env variable MALLOC_CHECK_:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
New error, but no hanging this time:
Attach to native process failed
Realized that JDK packages were platform-specific, unlike J2EE packages. Googled this: http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=37370
Downloaded 32-bit JRE (i586, not 64-bit) RPM package and installed it.
Redirected default java link to 32-bit JRE's JVM:
cd /usr/java/
unlink latest
ln -s jre1.6.0_17/ latest
Run installer again, explicitly saying where was the JVM the installer needed:
cd /tmp
./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u17-linux.bin -javahome /usr/java/jre1.6.0_17
It worked! :-)
Then reverted back to JDK's 64-bit JVM:
cd /usr/java/
unlink latest
ln -s jdk1.6.0_17/ latest
Hope this works for you too.

This is very close to my problem,

Install on Red Hat Linux

I've tried for some while now, to install Sun One Studio 4 on my Red Hat Linux, but it always hangs when it comes to the screen saying "Installing....This might take a few minutes". And it hangs for hours, so it's not that I don't wait long enough.
I have tried loging in as a normal user and as super user, but never get it right. I've checked that the DISPLAY setting is set to DISPLAY=:0.
Can anyone help me?
-Trond

Hello Trond!
I had the same problem a few months ago.
I solved it by running the install program
with a previous JDK (I think it was 1.3),
then when install finished I ran it with JDK1.4.2.
You can use symlinks to achieve this.
If it not works, look at your /tmp directory,
it will contain the install jar file,
run it: java -jar /tmp/... .jar
Hope it helps you.

IAS9i Relase 1 on Red Hat Linux 8

Do I have to install something prior installing ias.
Thanks in advance.

Did you check the prerequisites in the installation guide?
I believe that 9iAS Rel. 1 is not supported on Red Hat Linux 8, only 7.1 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1.
