Are you running from the same terminal or connecting remotely?
If connecting remotely, you need a Xserver running on the client machine.

  • Problem when installing oracle 10g on RHEL-4

    greetings,
    i have been trying to install oracle 10g on my linux machine for the past 10 days, everytimje i do all the steps and change the kernel parameters but when i start the runinstaller file. i get the folloeing error.
    I don't know what this error is or why is it happening
    you can find a snapshot of the error on the following link
    http://www.4shared.com/dir/4180305/6152dc22/Oracle_errors.html
    also another error is arising when i log in to the linux box with the user oracle... i have been having these errors for the past 10 days and i reached to the point where my knowledge won't help me more than ur experiences.
    a snapshot of this error also is available in the above link

    While I understand a picture is worth a thousand words, I backed off from the site as soon as it started providing active ads and spy-ware-like indications. If you want help (from me at least) please describe the symptoms.
    You could also use the following sites to help with the install:

    thanks

    Actually that Linux version is not supported for 10g. You may try starting the installer as
    $ ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    BTW, not sure you won't have any problems afterwards, but it should work.

  • Problem while installing Oracle 10g Routing Engine

    I am trying to run the procedure
    exec sdo_router_partition.partition_router('NODE_PART', 1000); on my dataset.
    While executing it gives an error class not found.. and comes out.
    When i look at the database table, i find a lot of tables named
    node_part_1112, node_part_1113, node_part_1114, .... and so on..
    Please suggest..!!
    If i use some other number other than 1000, then it makes the system hang..!!
    Q1) If i have a dataset with 2.5+ lac records in edge table..what is the number which would be appropriate for running the procedure.!!
    Thanks and Regards
    Ashish Dhawan

    The first thing you need to do is be sure the Router's log directory is set up properly and that the right users have permission from both SQL and Java to write to the log file. From SQL execute the following
    select * from all_directories where directory_name='SDO_ROUTER_LOG_DIR';
    Make sure the directory_path that is returned is correct.
    If the directory doesn't exist you can create it with
    CREATE DIRECTORY sdo_router_log_dir as '<explicit_log_directory>';
    Once created make sure the correct users have privs to write to the directory with the following:
    GRANT read, write ON DIRECTORY sdo_router_log_dir TO <routeserver_user>;
    call dbms_java.grant_permission('<ROUTESERVER_USER>', 'java.io.FilePermission',
    '/<explicit_log_directory>/*', 'read,write');
    GRANT read, write ON DIRECTORY sdo_router_log_dir TO MDSYS;
    call dbms_java.grant_permission('MDSYS', 'java.io.FilePermission',
    '/<explicit_log_directory>/*', 'read,write');
    Replace <explicit_log_dir> with the full directory path to where the directory was created.
    Note that <explicite_log_dir> on the permission setup for java must be terminated with /*
    as it is above.
    Replace <routeserver_user> with the name of the user that set up and uses the Routeserver data.
    Once this is set up properly try and rerun the partitioning. With the set up you should get access to
    a log file that will give us more information if something goes wrong with the actual partitioning
    process.

  • "Error In Writing to directory ..."  getting the error while installing oracle 10g in laptop

    Hi
    I thought I'd make my first post a hijack of a vaguely related thread,
    then some kind moderator could separate it out and branch it off to a post of its own.
    I'm not even sure this is in the proper forum.
    But anyhow ...
    i am getting problem while installing oracle 10g in laptop its showing error as "Error in Writing to Directory C:\Users\Accent.Muthu\Appdata\Local\temp\OraInstall2011-03-03-10-51-53 AM.
    Please ensure that the directory is writable and has atleast of 45 MB of disk space.Installation can not continue.
    so please tell me the solution as soon as possible
    thanks,

    Try the few resolutions mentioned here -

  • This problem appears while installing oracle 10g on enterprise linux

    Hi All,
    While installing oracle 10g on enterprise linux 5 this message apear:
    http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problemqy2.png
    More Info:
    Oracle 10g supports redhat 4 and Enterprise Linux is redhat 5 so I changed the redhat-release to 4 to countinue setup but the above error appears, also I tried this configuration on SuSE 10 I changed the SuSE-release to 9 and went good.

    The packeges are already installedIf you execute runInstaller again is the error message the same as before?
    If yes can you post output for this command?
    rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'|grep -i 'libxp'

    - For sh, ksh and bash:      $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY

         echo $SHELL
    Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
         echo $DISPLAY
    - Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
    To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
    % xhost +
    To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':

  • An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

    Hi,
    I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
    Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway,  I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

    Hi,
    Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
    Here's how I got rid of it.
    Addressing all the facts one by one,
    1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
    by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
    the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
    *$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
    2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
    Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
    password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
    to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
    password.
    Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
    replying this thread.
    Cheers,
    Prabath

    also before you do what is suggested on the url posted by Mufalani,
    it seems that you should do the following:
    Check existence of udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
    On RH/EL5, udev raw mapping rule file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules should exist by default as part of the util-linux package, for example:
    # ls /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rules
    /etc/udev/rules.d/60-raw.rulesCreate a custom udev raw mapping rule file, /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules say, for example:
    # touch /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules3b. Add udev raw binding rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file
    Add the udev raw binding rules to the /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules file, for example:
    # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/61-oracleraw.rules
    # Raw bind to Oracle Clusterware devices
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd*", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="360a98000686f6959684a453333524174", RUN+="/bin/raw /dev/raw/raw1 %N"

  • Error while installing Oracle 10G Grid control in RHEL

    I was installing Oracle 10G Grid control in RHEL. Got the following error. Any idea what this means and what is the remedy?
    =======================================
    Output generated from configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant":
    /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/../bin/i686/native_threads/jre: relocation error: /home/oracle/jre/1.1.8/bin/../lib/i686/native_threads/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
    Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" failed
    =======================================
    regards,
    Anjan

    I saw this once but I forgot how I solved it. I believe that I made a softlink to the libc.so.6 from another libc. Have a look on Metalink, becauses I've got the idea for my solution there.

  • ORA-12154 while installing Oracle 10g on windows 7

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g express edition on my machine (core 2 duo 2.93) running on Windows 7.
    The installation moves on perfectly for the 1st step and while running the 2nd step (Net configuration Assistant), it gives the ORA-12154 error.
    The contents of my configuration files at this point are as follows:
    Listener.ora
    =============
    SID_LIST_ORCL =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = ORCL)
    (ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    =============
    And that of tnsnames.ora is:
    =============
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
    =============
    After some googling around, I have found and installed the Microsoft Loopback adapter too (since my LAN is DHCP enabled) and also tried to turn on the firewall on my machine to check if it is not a problem with the port 1521 being blocked by the firewall.
    However, even after all that I still get the error "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified." while running the Net configuration Assistant and/or running SQL Plus to connect to the SID - ORCL.
    I can only see one service running in my services by the name : OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerORCL
    Any suggestions or advice on the error would be much welcome.
    Is it anything related to Windows 7 ? Because I have managed to install using the same installer on another machine which runs Windows XP and everything seems fine there.
    Thanking you all in anticipation.

    Hmmm.. but then I'd have expected some installation error. I have read around that people have managed to install oracle on windows 7.
    The error displayed seems to be indicating that there is some configuration or permissions issue.Check that the user has permission to write in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin - UAC might be blocking that.
    Install with software only, and run netca & dbca separately to create the database after the s/w install. (That's the way it is done in production anyway, so get used to it.)
    But yes - you still may have problems. Those who did fake it out on Windows 7 usually understand what to do. If you are smart enough to actually do it, my hat is off to you.

  • Problem on Installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP Professional

    I'm getting the following error while I install Oracle 10g R1, on Windows XP Professional.
    The Path enviroment variable is bigger than 1023 characters. This value cannont be set.
    Has anyone seen this error before?

    Hi,
    you have two option to start your oracle service. your problem is your oracle serivce is not start.
    for that you can start manully....
    like
    on command prompt.
    cmd>net start oracleservice<sid>
    or
    you can set automatic for oracle service.
    go services window. start >>>> run >>>> services.msc <<<enter>>>
    check and select oracle services and right click and set automatic..
    every time your system is reboot then oracle service is automatically is start.
    regards
