/etc/init.d/oracle-xe not found

Hi,
I installed oracle-xe-universal 10g on debian 4 after that manually deistalled
see:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD
then I installed xe again.
My second installation was ok. But I didn't find /etc/init.d/oracle-xe for configuration (First installation worked fine, init.d/oracle-xe existed). 2nd installation didn't display oracle-xe icons in applications menu at Gnome too.
If I try reinstall this in Gnome /etc/init.d/oracle-xe will be contained in package installer/includes files - but not relly.
Could you help me please.

Yes dpkg has a purge flag.
dpkg --purge packagename will remove the entire package + support/config files for it.
Use carefully.

Installing Oracle - /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure command missing?

I've AMD64 system with Ubuntu 11.04 installed. It's been rough ride for me to install oracle-xe-universal. I've already spent more than 2 days on this. Still unsuccessful.
1) First I downloaded the packages libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb and oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb
2) Then I ran
sudo apt-get install bc (ran fine)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb (ran fine)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb (gave me dependency error for libc6 (>= 2.3.2), I modified the control file to remove dependency and rebuilt the package) (now worked fine)
Oracle xe is now installed. Then I tried to start the DB it started but it's HTTP client never started. So I decided to uninstall the oracle-xe=universal. None of the sudo apt-get remove oracle-xe-universal command's didn't worked for me. So i went for manual uninstallation directions as per oracle link.
I ran the following command-
Manually uninstalling Oracle 10g
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/oracle /etc/oratab /etc/init.d/oracle-xe /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe /usr/share/doc/oracle_xe /usr/share/doc/oracle_xe_client
Then I again ran the following command to install oracle-xe

Any reason you are not using a supported OS?
And any reason you are running two threads on the same problem? /etc/init.d/oracle-xe is missing?

Starting Oracle XE on linux by /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start

Hello,
I installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on a Linux Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty)
following official installation instructions found here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABCEAHD
but I noticed a weird behavior.
The installation process was ok.
The configuration process (/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure) was also ok.
I set everything on default except for the “starting on boot” option I choose NO, because the instructions let me understand that I can start the service manually by the command:
$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
The configuration process at the end also started the service well, so I could test my new oracle installation on my web browser following the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Everything went fine... but...
On the next boot I wanted to start my oracle so I typed
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
but nothing happened and the server didn't go up.
Looking into to script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe
we can find this switch
case "$1" in
start)
     if test -f "$CONFIGURATION"
     then
          if test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
          then
               exit 0
          fi
     else
     echo "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is not configured. You must run
'/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database."
          exit 0
     fi
     start
this means that if you chose NO (N) for the “starting on boot” option on the configuration process (NB this choice put false in the env variable ORACLE_DBENABLED) you can't start the dbms by this script.
I try comment the few lines
     then
          #if test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
          #then
          #     exit 0
          #fi
     else
and this time the server starts well.
So I deduced that something was wrong with the script and the official installation instructions.

Yes... Thank you.
But I saw the problem could to be simple avoided using the options
enable/disable for the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe,
If you choose not to start oracle at boot time, you can start it
manually by the sequence
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe enable
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
then when you want to stop it
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe disable
by this last command we don't make oracle restart
at the next system boot.
I think it would be a good thing to update the reference
documentation at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABCEAHD
to explain this situation better.

Error in starting the service Oracle CSService not found

Hi all,
i am trying to install Oracle Enterprise manager grid control,
i am getting the following error message
"error in starting the service Oracle CSService not found"
when i checked in the "services.msc" the Oracle CSService is not started, so i tried to start the service, but its not starting and giving the error message as "error 3 system cannot find the path specified"
then i checked in the service properties, and the path is pointing to a different directory,
now i want to change this path to the correct oracle bin directory.
any views how to cnage/update this path in the services.msc, for "Oracle CSService"
Thanks alot.

Hi
i have got the answer for this question, i updated the registry with the correct file path, and then closed the registry, the services.msc file is automatically updated with the correct path
and then started the CSService, then went to the OEM setup i clicked Retry buton, then it went through.
Thanks to all the viewers.

Oracle Provider not Found

Good afternoon Oracle Forum members,
I'm having trouble on connecting a OraOLEDB.Oracle application to my Oracle Database 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0), I have a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise machine running it.
Each time I try to connect it says: Oracle provider not found. It may be not properly installed.
I've searched many site and tried many things like:
-Registering DLLs manually using:
REGSVR32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\sqloledb.dll"
REGSVR32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\Oledb32.dll"
REGSVR32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB\Msdasql.dll"
REGSVR32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\msadc\Msadce.dll"
REGSVR32 "C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\oraoledb11.dll"
-Installing the client with ODAC112012 pack that comes with 32 bit features (but after it the database stops working properly.
-Installed the client with ODTwithODAC112012 (but after it the database stops working properly)
-Formatting and re-installing Win 2008 Server Enterprise, Oracle Database 11g R2 and all applications (did it more than 4 times)
-Changing the provider from OraOLEDB.Oracle to MSDAORA (results in "Unknown Provider" message)
Is there something I did wrong? Is there something else I have to do to make it work properly?
Thank you very much!

Hello,
I installed XE 64bit on Ubuntu 10.10 after I used alien. When I do
$ sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
I get,

Database Configuration failed. Look into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log for details
Thanks,

I get this error on fedora 14. Turns out the problem was that SELinux was blocking lsnrctl. Following the instructions from /var/log/messages fixed the specific problem (though it showed up again for sqlplus and was fixed in the same way). Presumably, disabling SELinux would fix the problem too.

/etc/init.d/oracle-xe status gives /bin/su: /bin/bash: Permission denied

Hi all,
This is my first attempt at Oracle so I tried XE on a linux machine (RedHat Enterprise).
Install and configuration went fine, however trying http://localhost:8080/apex gives me a connection refused message. So i tried '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe status' to check the status. However i got the following message : '/bin/su: /bin/bash: Permission denied'.
I installed as root. What gives? What did i do wrong?

Fixed that issue. I had to set the permission to enter the directory also and to execute these two files. I have the following problem now though. See below:

make sure your package is in WEB-INF\classes\ directory
or if it is in a jar file, make sure it is in WEB-INF\lib\ directory

OraOLEDB.Oracle Provider Not Found- Windows 7 64 bit Excel 2010 32-bit Help

Currently, I have an excel 2010 application that users on Windows XP 32 bit are using to connect to an Oracle 32-bit database and extract data back into Excel. Each time they open the Excel file, the VBA code automatically creates a new connection using Provider =ORA.OLEDB.Oracle Provider. All users using the Excel file have installed Oracle 9.2.1 run-time client on their machine. All of that works well currently for over 100+ users on Windows XP 32-bit
Starting very shortly our company is moving to Windows 7 64-bit. We acquired a test PC with Windows 7 64-bit and Excel 2010 32-bit. We tried to install Oracle 9.0.2 run-time client but we couldn't connect to the database ( even with Sql Plus). We therefore downloaded Oracle 10g 10.2.04 Run-time client. With this installed, we were able to connect to via SQL Plus to the database. However, using the same Excel file and the following same VBA code.
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
cn.Open ThisWorkbook.getDBCon()
Public Function getDBCon()
getDBCon = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;" & _
"Data Source=MyOracleDB;" & _
"User Id=" & getDBUser() & ";Password=" & getDBPss()
End Function
I get a "Provider Not Found error". The VBA code and file work perfect in XP 32-bit. It seems going over to Windows 64-bit has caused issues with the file's macro. I am looking for help assessing if I have more of an Oracle Client issue or a Microsoft ADO issue. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

@damorgan
Yea agreed with Excel to Oracle comment. This is due to issues with global implementation of an ERP system and the disconnets between IT and Business. Therefore the business intelligence tables in oracle are most easily pulled and acted on by novice PC users via Excel. In the business, Excel is the standard tool novice non-IT people feel comfortable in to share and act on data. Most of these users have no IT knowledge whatsoever, so we create buttons and filters for them to query and then massage in Excel as they see fit.
Having said that, still wondering if it's a ADO or Oracle Client issue. This is something beyond my knowledge. I wouldn't imagine it's the Visual Basic issue since this same file works in Windows XP. I am not in the position to just scrap Excel as the business relies on this in production and I am the only support. What could 64 bit vs 32 bit differences be having here? Thank You.

Provider = OraOLEDB.Oracle - provider not found after Dev Install of O8i

When I run my VB application and try to connect to the Oracle database using ADO and the
Provider = OraOLEDB.Oracle
I get the error message "Provider not found or is installed incorrectly."
This is strange as I have installed the developer version of Oracle and I can connect to the database using SQLPLUS.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks

OraOLEDB.Oracle: Provider not found: Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 Client installation

Hi All,
I am working on a SSIS task in which i need to get data from Oracle database which is on remote server.
But when created the SSIS package and tried to create the connection from the connection manager using OLE DB connection, I am not able to find the provder 'Oracle Provider for OLE DB' . I have oracle client, toad installed on my machine.Using toad, I am able to connect to the Oracle database.
Please suggest. For time being I am using 'Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle' to make the SSIS working.
Edited by: 982652 on Jan 17, 2013 11:02 PM

Alright, so it's not that. It's possible the OLE DB provider isn't installed, depending on how you installed the Oracle client.
This link has a little windows script that can list all the known OLE DB providers. That should tell you if its installed and SSIS isn't finding it, or if it's not installed at all. http://www.motobit.com/help/regedit/sa117.htm

Service Error: File or assembly name Oracle.DataAccess not found

Hi, everyone.
I knew someone had post the similar question before. However, the discussion is not be able to solve my problem. Please give some suggestion.
I got a net1 application use the oracle.dataAccess.dll as reference.
I compiled it on my location machine and updated on the test server.
But the event viewer shows the following error
'Could not load file or assembly' Oracle.DataAccess, Version=1, Version=1.102.2.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342, or one of its dependenices. the system cannot find the file specified.
Then I checked my application I realize, the oracle.DataAccess.dll I reference on my local machine is version10g. So I remove the reference and add the dll again (correct version 9i that match the testing enviroment). Becuase the testing environment got 9i installed.
p.s I done the permission stuff for the ora92 folder and reboot is before I update the service.
When I start the service again. I still have the same error. So after whole bunch of checking , re-add the reference and recomplie. I am running out of the solution.
Please if anyone can kindly give a hand before I shoot myself. =(
Thanks in advance
null

after long wait and there still no reply or suggestion from any one. Finally, I managed to solve this problem myself.
Check your oracle.dataaccess.dll which you reference in the project and make sure the oracle.dataccess.dll version whould match the one you want to use.
