/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:
[root@localhost root]# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe status

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.

/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.

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.

Bash: /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

hi,
i m new to oracle on linux
Oracle 10gR2 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5
while running ./runInstaller
this error displays
bash: /media/database/runInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
can any one help me, please answer here or [email protected]

It's got nothing to do with who he's running the installer as (though he should indeed run it as the oracle user, of course).
It's got everything to do with the fact that a lot of distros these days automount their CDs with the noexec switch set. Meaning that no-one apart from root is allowed to execute programs from the mounted media. Centos 5 does it, so RHEL5 would do it too. OpenSuse10.3 doesn't do it; Fedora 8 does; Debian 4 does.
If your distro uses an old-fashioned fstab (Debian 4 does, for example), you could edit that and stick an explicit 'exec' switch in as one of the mount options (plain old "user", commonly specified, implies "noexec").
But RHEL5 and Fedora 8, for example, use a new udev-magic way of dynamically mounting removable media, so there's nothing listed in /etc/fstab until after a cd or dvd has been automounted... and by that stage, it's too late to edit what the mount options should be!
The fix for these sorts of distros is to become root and manually unmount any Oracle CDs or DVDs that have been automounted. You can then simply re-mount them by issuing a command such as
mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /media...and, because this manual mount doesn't include explicit noexec switches, you'll find that if you now become the oracle user, you'll be allowed to execute the runInstaller program normally.

/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied- Rapidwiz

hi Gurus,
I am trying to install apps 11.5.10.2 from an external hard drive onto oracle enterprise linux , installed on vmware workstation 6, and i got error--- /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied.When trying to run the rapidwiz.
Can somebody pls help me with full discription of this problem and what the solution might be. Secondly please help with the steps required when installing 11i on oracle enterprise linux as i know nothing about linux configuration.Thanks Guys

Not Sure if this issue is still open.
Recently I faced the same issue while executing/running ./rapidwiz (from stage area ) from External usb disk with ext2 file system. Basically I was trying to install R12.0.4 on OEL 5 Platform,
I was getting the same error PERMISSION DENIED /bin/sh bad interpreter. I started experimenting many different things to start with chmod,chown ...and also having a manual entry in /etc/fstab for the external drive but nothing worked out.
After hour's(3-4)of googling around I could finally fix it OLAH ...
Firstly if some one see's the similar issue (assuming the similar senario as well ...stage created on External usb HD)
1) Check the out put of the "mount" command.
If it is /media/usbdisk (rw, noexec,nosuid) * -- this the culprit ** you would never be able to run/execute any program or executable within this disk.
2) Fix it -- use below command.
mount -0 remount rw /media/usbdisk .
3) And upon re-running " mount" cmd, u'll see below output.
**/media/usbdisk (rw) -- observe we don't c the noexec, nosuid from first run.
--uh!! Phew !!
And the installation start ...with no issue's ... I hope this will be usefull for other novie like me ..:-)

Hello All,
I have a VMWare that i installed into it Oracle enterprise Linux 5 32 bit, i am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on it, i have the .iso oracle file, l linked the CD/DVD drive of the VMware to the location of this ISO file, and i applied all the steps mentioned in this link : http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux5.php
i did: cd media and i found the runInstaller file but wen trying to run it: ./runInstaller i am facing the below :
[root@oel5 media]# cd V17489-01/
[root@oel5 V17489-01]# ls

[root@oel5 V17489-01]# ./runInstaller
-bash: ./runInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
your help is appreciated please.
Regards,

The problem is that gnome-mount will not give you execute rights on CD/DVD content. The solution is at the below link in the Tips section:
Installing Oracle 11g R2 on Ubuntu 10 Howto
Logout your current X-session and login as user Oracle
Insert the Oracle Installation DVD
Or from a remote terminal session:
Insert the Oracle Installation DVD
sudo umount /dev/sr0
Create a new session as user Oracle
ssh -Y oracle@server_address
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media
/media/database/runInstaller
If you see "runinstaller" instead of "runInstaller" you can try the following:
sudo mount -o loop,norock /dev/cdrom /media
more also here:
runInstaller ".oui: No such file" / "bad interpreter: Permission denied"

It is necessary to post code between code tags, otherwise it screws up. See the FAQ.

To have to stop the process, 'kill' doesn't help, it will be respawned immediately. I don't know your OS, normally (as root)
/etc/init.d/init.cssd stop
should work.

Installing ASM on linux : /etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]

Hi all,
Oracle unbreakable linux
oracle 10.2.0.1
I got this error while mark ing the disks for use by ASMLib
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk VOL1 [failed]
I already performed the steps mentioned below
uname -rm
Ex:
# uname -rm

Before using ASMLib, you must run a configuration script to prepare the driver. Run the following command as root, and answer the prompts as shown in the example below.
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Configuring the Oracle ASM library driver.
This will configure the on-boot properties of the Oracle ASM library
driver. The following questions will determine whether the driver is
loaded on boot and what permissions it will have. The current values
will be shown in brackets ('[]'). Hitting <ENTER> without typing an
answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will abort.
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
