  • HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

    I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
    Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
    tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
    generate errors.
    Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
    buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
    RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
    I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
    Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
    I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
    a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
    2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
    Workstation" configuration.
    The Oralce CD is labeled:
    "Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
    Release 8.1.5
    for Linux
    (c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
    I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
    Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
    1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
    I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
    primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
    I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
    I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
    umask 022
    setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
    xhost +
    setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
    setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
    setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
    setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
    setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
    I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
    Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
    cd /mnt/cdrom
    ./runInstall
    Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
    Please wait...
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad address
    Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
    cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
    ./runIns.sh
    3. runIns.sh and root.sh
    I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
    Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
    Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
    Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
    Typical (585MB)
    Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
    Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
    SID: cprtest
    Directory for Database Files: /u02
    Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
    (from the
    "root" Unix account):
    cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
    ./root.sh
    Problem: I got the error:
    "bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
    The execute bit was not set.
    Workaround: I executed:
    chmod a+x root.sh
    ./root.sh
    5. Configuration Tools
    The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
    A. Net8 Configuration Agent
    B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
    Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
    the following error message:
    "One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
    required that these tools succeed for this installation.
    You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
    why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
    Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
    When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
    more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
    of the error):
    "A required command line argument is missing."
    The log file
    "/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
    "Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre
    -Duser.dir=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/assistants/dbca/jlib

    Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
    problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
    Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
    6. dbassist
    I executed:
    dbassist
    Problem: I got the following error:
    "JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
    Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
    check your Oracle installation."
    Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
    7. dbassist (cont.)
    I selected the following options:
    Create database
    Typical
    Copy existing database files from the CD
    Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
    SID: cprtest
    Problem: I got the following error:
    "CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
    Database not created."
    (Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
    CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
    mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
    Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
    to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
    run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
    8. dbassist, again
    I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
    Create database
    Typical
    Create new database files
    Hybrid
    Concurrently connected users: 5
    Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
    Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com

    Problem: I got the following error:
    "ORA-01012: not logged on"
    Workaround: Try, try again.
    9. dbassist, one last time
    Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
    Create database
    Typical
    Create new database files

    Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):

    setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
    ./sqlcprtest3.sh

    10. sqlplus
    I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
    message:
    "/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
    The execute bit was not set.
    Workaround: I executed:
    chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
    sqlplus
    I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
    this installation, starting with the very first command I was
    supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
    I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
    Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
    Please help.

    I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
    than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
    patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
    this version.
    I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
    disabled. This didn't help either.
    Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
    not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
    the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
    continue every step of the way.

  • URGENT HELP- Can't install Oracle Portal on Windows 2000

    I am trying to install Oracle Portal as part of installation of Oracle 9iAS v1.0.2.2.2a on Windows 2000 and I get this message from the OPCA Installation Log:

    I am using an Oracle 8i database for the installation on the same machine. Can anyone help please?
    Thanks,
    -Ashok Manian

    Thanks for the reply Rohini.
    The SYS password is change_on_install and SYSTEM password is manager. It still causes the same problem. The database I am using is an Oracle 8i database which is automatically created while installing Oracle 9iAS.
    I also tried to install Oracle Portal on an Oracle 9i Database on the same machine and this comes out with a different error. It tells me the SHARED_POOL_SIZE is less than 31457280 whereas as I checked through SQL*Plus its actually much more than that!
    Can you please help?
    Thanks,
    -Ashok Manian

  • Why can't install Oracle 8.1.7 in Redhat 7,1

    Please see this page first: http://linuxfab.cx/indexEasy.php
    if you really want to install, please run these files first:
    compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm
    compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.9.i386.rpm
    compat-libs-6.2-3.i386.rpm
    compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.14.i386.rpm
    and try again.

    Here's the easy way to do it.
    1. Install EVERYTHING into your drive from Redhat 7.1; that's right choose 'EVERYTHING' when prompted at the 7.1 install.
    (You need about 2GB to fit the 7.1 install plus the additional 2GB for oracle)
    (Make a user named 'oracle' who will load and administer the database)
    2. Type the following at the root command prompt:
    groupadd oinstall
    groupadd dba
    groupadd oper
    useradd oracle -g oinstall -G dba,oper
    passwd oracle (it will prompt you for the password)
    3. (Now let's make the directories and assign ownership starting from the root directory)
    cd /
    mkdir oraclestage
    mkdir orahome
    mkdir ora1
    mkdir ora2
    mkdir ora3
    (the ora1,2,...etc should be mount points on different physical disks, but just make directories if you only have one disk)
    4. (Now assign ownership to the directories)
    chown oracle.dba /oraclestage
    chmod 775 /oraclestage
    chown oracle.dba /orahome
    chmod 775 /orahome
    chown oracle.dba /ora1
    chmod 775 /ora1
    chown oracle.dba /ora2
    chmod 775 /ora2
    chown oracle.dba /ora3
    chmod 775 /ora3
    (Next log out as root and log in as oracle using the password you assigned)
    5. (Now set up environmental variables IF YOU SCREW THIS UP IT WONT WORK!!!SO PAY ATTENTION)
    (Go into the place where user oracle's environment variables are kept...)
    cd /home/oracle
    more .bash_profile
    (look at your .bash_profile file. You're going to replace it with the one below...
    the easiest way to do this is to copy the contents of this file into Linux and save it as 'myfile', then place it in the /home/oracle directory. Then type:
    cp myfile .bash_profile
    at the command prompt. Say yes if asked to replace file)
    Here's the file contents:
    # .bash_profile
    # Get the aliases and functions
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
    fi
    # User specific environment and startup programs
    #PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
    #BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
    #export BASH_ENV PATH
    #unset USERNAME
    export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
    ./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
    ORACLE_BASE=/orahome; export ORACLE_BASE
    ORACLE_HOME=/orahome; export ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_SID=ORCL; export ORACLE_SID
    PATH=$PATH:/orahome/bin; export PATH
    CLASSPATH=:/orahome/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip; export CLASSPATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/orahome/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    umask 022
    ORA_NLS33=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ocommon/nls/admin/data; export ORA_NLS33
    NLS_LANG=american; export NLS_LANG
    5.1(notice the following lines:
    export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
    ./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
    These are designed to make oracle compatible with LINUX. The ./usr/i386...etc. is a script that has to fire off to make oracle 817 run off a backward version of the glibc library. If this script fails when logging into the box as user oracle, then run it from the command line after you get into the box. You may have to run it from root, but fire it off.
    6. Get your oracle817 tar file and copy it to the 'oraclestage' folder. Log in as root and untar it to expand it. The command is:
    tar xvf linux*...etc (whatever...)
    7. Next get the jdk118_v3 file from http://java.sun.com and put that on in your user/local directory. As the root user, untar it and make a symbolic link as follows:
    ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java)
    8. Go back to the /oraclestage as user 'oracle' and do a 'cd Disk1' at the command prompt and then do a './runInstaller' from the prompt. Keep in mind that you have to be in xwindows for the latter to work. Put oracle into the 'orahome' directory. You don't need all the obnoxious 12-mile-long path statements, just put the thing into orahome.
    That will get oracle817 going on your Redhat 7.1 box. It works for me. You don't have to deal with all that 'compat-glibc' loading shit. Just do an 'everything' install and it will work. Beside, what if you want to start using the box as a Linux box also? Do you want to keep searching for *.rpm files when you need extra functionality? Just throw them all in when you install.

  • Please , Help me for installing Oracle 8.1.5 on Redhat Linux 7.0

    Hi every body
    when I run ./runInstaller from cdrom
    I get this messages :
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.Please wait ...
    Error in CreateOUIProcess ():-1
    : Bad Address
    I use JDK-1-1-6.
    Thx
    null

    I have done some oracle installations over RedHat 7.0 (not certificated):
    Let's check some things:
    1- You must have changed very few parameters on your shm.h sem.h files which are in /usr/include/linux directory.
    2- You need to upgrade the glibc and libstdc libraries (.rpm)
    3- You must have installed the jre116_v5 on /usr/jre and made a symbolic link like this
    ln -s /usr/jre/jre116_v5 /usr/local/jre
    4- You must include in the CLASSPATH parameter the jre116_v5 directory. It should look something like this
    CLASSPATH=/usr/jre/jre116_v5:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib
    5- Be sure to create and export all the parameters in your .bash_profile.
    6- Run the ./runInstaller.sh in a terminal window inside the Xwindow.
    You can find the jre116_v5 in www.backdown.org
    I hope these tips help you

    Did you carefully go through all pre-req steps for install?
    Oracle needs some "compatibility libraries" as well (compat-lib*). Here are packages for AS 10g, most or all of which apply to Database too.
    Checking operating system packages: gcc-3.2.3-20,compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122,compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,setarch-1.3-1,pdksh-5.2.14,sysstat-4.0.7,gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1,libstdc++-3.2.3,compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122,compat-glibc-7.x-2.2.4.32.5
    When required packages are in place, there's another error lurking, related to __libc_wait symbol.
    runInstaller "boots" OUI, which includes running a JRE from tmp. This JRE (build 02) is broken, but you can setup to run another one via oraparam.ini and JRE_LOCATION. Download build 10 from Sun (google "jre 1.3.1 download").

  • Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat 7.2

    Please, I have a problem, as i told in the subject.
    I ran the runInstaller script from the oracle Cdrom but the OUI
    doesn't appear. After a ps in the command line i see that jre
    and runInstaller are running.
    Any idea ?

    I have the same question.
    Pls pay attention, the running JRE is not the JRE provided by JDK. U can run "ps aux" in the command line to proove it.
    But my java runs well in my computer. How can I start the OUI?

    I think 6.2 is easier, just follow read me instruction, on redhat 7.0 you must run patch to downgrade glibc from 2.2 to 2.1

    Hi there!
    The first thing you should do if you get ANY (almost) error when
    installing Oracle Server in RedHat Linux v6,0 is to read this
    document carefully: http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
    After hours of struggle it finally worked for me :-)))))
    Only two things to add here:
    1) If you want to be able to connect to the Linux server
    (telnet) and running utilities like sqlplus locally on the
    server, you should copy the ".profile" file to the users home
    directory, add the user to the group "dba" AND make sure that
    the $ORACLE_HOME directory has execute permissions for members
    of the "dba" group (mine had default ONLY permission for the
    owner to execute).
    2) The file "listener.ora" was (for some reason) written
    with "oracle_sid" where it really should say the real SID name
    that is in my case "ORCL".
    I just can't thank the guy who wrote the step-by-step
    Installation guide for Oracle on RedHat Linux enough... THANK
    YOU!

  • How can i install Oracle 9i Enterprise version on Linux 7.2

    Hi friends,
    I m not able to install the oracle 9i enterprise DBA on RedHat linux 7.2. Can anybody guide me how to do it in correct way. Cuz i feel that i m not doing in right way and there is someother way of doing it ?
    Thanks in advance
    Manmeet Sidhu

    I know this isn't a RedHat admin forum...but one of the most important things is an up2date set of system packages. It is my opinion that the RedHat Network Updater (up2date) should always be used to keep your kernel, bin-utils, glibc, gcc, etc files up2date...they fix issues all the time that help in relinking (making) files, as well as fixing security problems and increasing platform security.
    That said, the version of bin-utils, glibc, kernel and gcc that I have installed Oracle 9i release 1 on RedHat 7.2 is:
    kernel-2.4.9-31
    binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12
    glibc-2.2.4-24
    gcc-2.96-98
    Here is the documentation I followed:
    http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html
    and here is a good discussion thread on an installation:
    http://www.orafaq.com/msgboard/unix/messages/821.htm
    I did not (and do not) recommend downgrading the bin-utils ... just update the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh file and relink...
    Also, if installing Oracle 9i Release 2 on RedHat 7.3, see this thread concerning the ins_ctx.mk error
