Help on installing oracle 8i 8.1.6.0.0

Hi,
I just want to install a version of oracle in order to enable me to practice to pass my Application developer exams..
i am new to Oracle so dont have much experiance.
i am running on my home compute, Windows 98.
i have downloaded the files needed and when using the installer i have come across the Net8 Configuration Assistant, i dont know what to do here.
it asks me if i want to use a directory service?? please advise me what this is for and should i use it
if i say no it then asks me to pick 81, or 8 i picked 8i
then it asks me to enter the service name?? i dont have a clue what it means
then select protocol for database you want to access?? again i have no idea
then a host name??
any help would be appreciated
Many Thanks
Saqi

The Net8 Configuration Assistant allows you to add databases into a file called tnsnames.ora. Do not manually edit this file or you will not be able to une Net8 Configuration Assistant unless you delete tnsnames.ora.
it asks me if i want to use a directory service?? please advise me what this is for and should i use it
saying no is ok.
if i say no it then asks me to pick 81, or 8 i picked 8i
8i is the correct answer here
then it asks me to enter the service name?? i dont have a clue what it means
the service name (also know as SID in 8.0) is the name of your database.
then select protocol for database you want to access?? again i have no idea
The common protocol for Oracle is TCP/IP
then a host name??
the host name (is the name of your computer or another computer you want to connect to with an Oracle database running on it).
1. To find the name of your computer, click START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL
2. Open the Network Icon
3. Select the Identification tab
4. The name of your computer is listed
Good Luck,
Michael

Help in Installing Oracle Portal,Forms,Reports and Discoverer(11.1.1.2.0)

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Linux x86-64.
I have installed weblogic 10.3.5 generic jar file.
When i try to install forms and reports server the configuration step fails while creating weblogic domain.
Please help me installing portal and reports.
Is there any patch i am missing or the weblogic version is incorrect?
Thanks.

You cannot configure Fmw 11.1.1.2 against WLS 10.3.5. They are not supported nor compatible.
If you want to use WLS 10.3.5, you need to "install" 11.1.1.2, but do not configure. That is an installation option. After you have successfully installed 11.1.1.2 you will need to patch it to 11.1.1.6. After patching, you then can run the configuration (config.bat).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10421/install.htm#CLINS256
Version 11 is far more complex than previous versions. I strongly encourage everyone to review the product documentation before trying to install. You can also refer to the following MyOracleSupport note:

Help in installing Oracle Xe in suse 10.2

I have successfully installed Oracle XE in suse linux 10.2.(my laptop)
The place I had installed had a Lan network available.
Now I usually work in a location where there is no network.
after I get the message that oracle XE is succesfully installed, I tried to open the oracle home page, but i was getting an error, that there is no network,
I followed the instructions to give no proxies for my oracle home page address, etc.but to no avail.
Can someone help me in this.
Do reply to [email protected] incase you need more information, or reply to this thread.

Ok..
This is not a network issue at all..
I am unable to connect to oracle even though there is network..
I was wrong.
Now here is the scenario..
I downloaded the rpm for oracle XE
i ran this command
rpm -ivh downloads/oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
then i ran the command for configuring
$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
gave the default settings
then I went to
/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin
and from there ran the script file
. ./oracle_env.sh
the instruction says....
You may also want edit your login or profile files so that these environment variables are set properly each time you log in or open a new shell.
For Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell, enter the following line into the .bash_profile (to log in) or .bashrc file (to open a new shell):
. /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh
For C or tcsh shell, enter the following line into the .login file (to log in) or .cshrc file (to open a new shell):
source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.csh
Where do I find the .bash_profile file in suse 10.2?
is this the final step to start working on my database...?
has anyone worked on this before?
It also says...
You can find the database creation logs in $ORACLE_HOME/config/log/*.
I cant find this path in my system...
Someone help me..

Need a help in installing oracle 9.2 on RHEL5

I have installed RHEL5 on my comp and want to install ORACLE 9i on it.
It would be helpful if anybody guide me with complete procedure like kernel param setting,user creation,etc...
Thank you

IMO, both platforms perform well, it is not only the OS what you should consider, but also the hardware and the application layer. If you are planning to install 9.2.0 on a production environment, although it has been installed on RHEL5, you must be aware this is not supported for production environments, just for personal testing.
I suggest you to use RHEL4 if you are planning to deploy this to production.

Someone help me!!!
Thanks.

The requirements for installing 10.2.0 and 9.0.4 on RHEL4 differ - 9.0.4 is based on older versioned RSFs and require linking against older compatibility libraries.
The OUI may incorrectly complain if later versions of the required/pre-requisite packages really are installed - this should not be a problem functionally, however.
The latter errors you report, however (make, relocation error, glibc/symbol), are symptomatic of trying to link with/against incompatible gcc/glibc versions. Try installing the following additional compatibility files (appropriate for your architecture);
- http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/RedHat/compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm
- http://oss.oracle.com/projects/compat-oracle/dist/files/RedHat/compat-libcwait-2.1-1.i386.rpm
If you have not already done so, I suggest you create and use (i.e. source) separate environment definition files when working with each product/version environment. For 9.0.4, ensure that you specify environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 before installing 9.0.4 (or relinking).
If you have MetaLink access, refer also to Note.315832.1, Note.389811.1.

Need help on installing Oracle Application express 3.2

Hi,
I had downloaded Oracle 11g database and installed the personal edition.I got the Enterprise manager login page working and also the DBConsole
I had Downloaded APEX 3.2 and wanted to install apex 3.2.I wanted to do the following scenario
Scenario 3: Install from the Database and Configure the Embedded PL/SQL
Gateway
Planning to do these steps: ( I have few questions on these steps and are below each step)
■ Running the apxconf.sql Configuration Script
Do I have to install Oracle Application express or is it already installed in 11g personal edition?
Do I have to create a seperate database or schema for this step( I have only one instance orcl1) ?■ Verifying the Oracle XML DB HTTP Server Port
Can I do this step in my current orcl1 instance,if so which user■ Enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server
Once I carry out these steps, Can I access the admin page for apex with https://localhost:port/apex_admin ?
Am I missing any other steps ?
Thanks

I have one idea..
Try to install again:
1) download and unzip apex_3.2 in $ORACLE_HOME
You will have:
$ORACLE_HOME/apex - old directory
$ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2 - new directory
2) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
Where:
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image directory as /i/.
Example:
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
3) check installation log for errors
4) in command line go to $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2/apex
run sqlplus "/as sysdba"
in sqlplus run @apxconf
set admin password
set port
5) run @apxldimg.sql $ORACLE_HOME/apex_3.2
6) check for running listener and try to login apex: http:\\host:port\apex\apex_admin
Good luck!

Need help in installing Oracle 9i Release 2 in RHLE3

I need some patches to Install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) in RHEL3.
I know that they are in metalink, but I don't have login to metalink site...
I need some patche files...
p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip

Could somebody send them to email, my email address is [email protected]
Thanks

If you really need to install Oracle 9i and not one of the more current versions of 10g, why don't you use the download from OTN which is 9.2.0.4. and should already have these patches included

Need help on Installing Oracle 8.1.5 !!!

Hi,
I was just exposed to a DBA's work. Please forgive me if my question sounds naive. Our company bought oracle 8.1.5 Standard Edition for Linux and the OUI gives three categories of choices for installation: Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, Oracle8i Client and Programmer/2000. I was confused, we bought the standard edition, why did the enterprise edition come together. Furthermore, it seems only Oracle 8i enterprise edition has oracle 8i server, does it mean that we have to install both oracle 8i enterprise edition and oracle client these two categories? How about the license? Suppose I need 10 users(clients) connected to a single oracle server, does it mean I need to purchase the enterprise edition's license for the server even if we bought the standard edition? If no, what would be the answer? You help will be really appreciated.

The Pack that comes from Oracle contains about 30 CDs.
Among these are a standard Edition and an Enterprise Edition CD which each has 2CDs
If you go through the CD,s you should be able to find a
standard Edition Cd 1 and 2

Help on Installing Oracle 8i release 3(8.1.7) on RedHat Linux 7.2

Hi,
I am trying to install 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.2. I completed the preparatory steps. When I begin the installation with ./mnt/cdrom/runInstaller. I get the following message:
Intializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait.... and it stops. The installation guide doesn't mention anything about the jre. Ane no repsonse from metalink. Please help on how and where to find and if possible a detailed steps that needs to be taken. Help will be greatly appericiated.

Hi,
This can be solved by adding following environment variable in
.bash_profile
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
After adding , just relogin as oracle user and run the installation. It will proceed without any problem. (If u get any linker error u need run the patch glibc2.1.3stubs.tar.gz file from OTN downloads).
Bye
In case of any problem, mail me at [email protected]
