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

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL casuing havoc in Redhat ES5 when installing oracle patches

Hi guys
I have installed oracle 10.2.0.1 on a 64 bit Redhat ES5. I am trying to install patch 5689937 which requires the #export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
However I am unable to do anything when I do the export. I get the following message and i can't run any commands --> "error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1"
If I try to apply the patch without the required LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 then I get a ton of errors about "occiBytes.cpp:", "undefined reference to"..
May somebody help? I don't have such issues in Redhat 3,4 32 bit.

Use Redhat 4 or, better yet, Oracle Enterprise Linux 4.

Installing Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 - failed to start opmnctl

I received the following error when trying to install Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 on Linux Redhat 5.2:
failed to start a managed process after maximum retry limit
Log: /as/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/opmn/logs//HTTP_Server~1.log
In the HTTP_Server~1.log:

/as/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Please help! Thanks in advance.

hi,
First check the log files why http is not starting up thro opmnctl cmd.
In order to change the port..
Take the back up of Original httpd.conf file and opmn.xml
and then in $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file
you will get parameter "port" and "listen"..so enter the desired port no

Install oracle client 32 bits on 64 bits windows

We need to intall Oracle driver for OLEDB on a SQL server box.
The SQL server is windows 2008 R2 and SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bits.
But because we have some SSIS packages that need to run in 32 bits,(for example the source file is the Excel), so we are installing oracle client 32 bits instead of 64 bits on the windows box which is 64 bits.
Anyone knows if this will work?
Thanks

I think it should work. I have a server Win 2008 x64 which runs 32 bit 11g client and we haven't had an issue. I had the same situation as you are in which required me to install 32bit client on x64 server. if you have a test server I would try this on the test server identical to production to make sure that you won't see any hick ups in your production environment. hope this helps.

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

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
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
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
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:
"Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

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.

Can not install Oracle on Redhat 7.3

I have installed Redhat 7.3 . I tried to install Oracle 8i Release 2 (8.1.6).
But when I try to run runInstaller, nothing runs, Applet(JRE) does not open.
what is the problem?
I have successfully installed this Oracle 8.1.6 on Redhat 6.2

Hi there;
Here is what I have done to install Oracle8i 8.1.7 on Redhat7.3:
Things you need to download:
JAVA:
Get the JDK - jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
Get the JRE - jre118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
use bzip2 OR tar:
tar -xvjf jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
as well for jre118
Symbolically link them:
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3/bin/java /bin/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3/bin/jre /bin/jre
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3 /usr/local/jre
After you: tar -xvf /tmp/linux81701.tar
chmod 777 Disk1
cd Disk1
chmod 777 runinstaller
Now you should be able to run the <runInstaller>
when you receive this error close to end just click on ignor:
Error in invoking target relink of makefile /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/precomp/lib/ins_ctx.mk" Or something similar
The below operations should be performed logged in as root.
changes must be done on the root.sh script:
line 102 Read:
RMF=/bin/rm -f
changed it to: RMF=`/bin/rm -f`
line 156
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}`
change it to:
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}'`
Execute the script root.sh.
Ignore the errors about not being able to delete the files.
After you finish with: Net8 Configuration Assistant:
The below operations should all be performed logged in as oracle.
cd $ORACLE_HOME<In my machine is:cd product/8.1.7>
tar -xvzf /tmp/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
./setup_stubs
Then exit from: $ORACLE_HOME
and edit .bash_profile OR .bashrc whichever you modified in preinstall
add the following line: export ORACLE_SID=<whatever you named it during install>
My machine read as this: export ORACLE_SID=oral
At this point I strongly suggest you logg out from Oracle Account and re-log again
Then edit this file: /etc/oratab
and change: *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:N To *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:Y
Now you can use dbstart and dbshut scripts from the command mode to start and stop the database.
most likely when you try to start the database for the first time you will receive
the error: ORA-01081<you can't star database is already startet>
Then go to svrmgrl and connect internal and type: shutdown Abort
re-start your Database and you are ready to go!!!!!!
Hope that is help

Hi,
I am a newbie and would like to install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat Linux,
so RedHat 6.2 or RedHat 7.0
which one is the easier installation for
me(both new in Oracle & Linux)?
Many thanks,

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

Hallo !
Three weeks ago I had successfully installed Oracle 8.0.5 on RedHat 6.1; some tips:
As described in ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux/README download the five compaitibility RPMS
compat-binutils-5.2-2.9.1.0.23.1.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm
compat-egcs-c++-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm
compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1.i386.rpm
compat-libs-5.2-1.i386.rpm
(I have got them from
ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/redhat.com/dist/old-releases/redhat-6.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
and install them.
The glibcpath.tgz is available from OTN. Install it as described in the ORACLE RAEDME.
Good luck !

Install Oracle 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 6.2 - do I need xwindows?

I see a pre-req for the install is a window manager be loaded. Something like fvmw or Motif 1.2 as a minimum.
My install of RH 6.2 did not include Xwindows because my video is not supported.
Do I need xwin loaded to be able to install Oracle?
Thanks in advance.

Oracle 8i is not compile/link time compatible with glibc 2.2. It
requires the glibc 2.1 compatibility SDK, i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz,
to install under systems based on glibc 2.2, like RedHat 7.0.
RedHat 7.0 ships with glibc 2.2. Oracle compiles with glibc 2.1. See the problem here? The good folks at valinux.com have created a compatiblitly SDK that will "fix" Redhat so you can install Oracle 8i. Go to the following link to learn more:
http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/readme.Oracle8i - This is the instructions for installing the patch. Return to this document at Step 4, where they tell you to "Install Oracle 8i." http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz - This is the actual SDK.

Problem installing Oracle 8.05 on Redhat Linux 7.1

I am currently trying to install Oracle 8.05 onto Redhat Linux 7.1. I can get part of the way through
the installation, however, when it is installing the rdbms portion. I stops with an error about a failure
during relinking. Here is the part of make.log which details what really happened. Could someone tell
me how to proceed.
Thank you,

Oracle 8.0.5 works with glibc 5 and Debian Potato with glibc6 .

Problem installing Oracle 9.2 on RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0

Hi everyone,
As the subject line says, I tried installing Oracle 9.2 on
RedHat Linux 7.1 and 9.0, strictly following instructions
written by Werner Puschitz
(http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml). Both
attempts failed with identical symptoms:
- the installer asks for Disk 2
- after the disk is inserted, it hangs. It turns out that
kernel is writing messages similar to these in
/var/log/messages:
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: 16:00: rw=0, want=317696, limit=149920
Jun 16 02:45:19 boston kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Unless interrupted, this continues until the /tmp filesystem gets full.
Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been able to find
an explanation so far.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ljubomir Buturovic

Providing a thread-bare configuration of your machine on which you are trying to install Oracle on Linux (and mind you - which kernel/distro, coz that's important) would definitely help you elicit more responses to your messages.

Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux RedHat 7.1

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on a Linux RedHat 7.1 machine with P4 1.7GHz. I 've tryed all the papers I found on the net for setting the user accounts and groups, linking with the old gcc libraries, etc. The problem is that after starting the OUI and when a window pops-up that spans the products list available, the whole operation finishes too quicly without reaching the 100%. At the next screen when I am trying to give the Instalation Unix group - should be oinstall/dba - I press next and get the message "Unable to setup Inventory. You may not have proper permisions". The machine has 256MBs Ram and 520MB Swap file on a 20GB HDD.Has anyone else seen this before? I couldn't find anything on the net. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance...

Hi,
In the user where you are trying to install Oracle, give the following command at the prompt.
$ umask
The result should be "022". If it is not, connect as root and change the umask-settings of the user.
$ umask 022 <user-name>
and connect as the user, where you are trying to install and run the Installer.
Hope this will work,
Murali.
