Installation of ODB Express Edition on red hat 5

Hi all,
I know that the XEdition can be installed on RHEL3 and 4, I want to know if it can be installed on RHEL 5.
Thank you!

I don't know if I'll ever install XE on Linux 5, but
I'm interested in knowing if it can work. "lsnrctl
shows BLOCKED" means the instance is started, but not
mounted, did you try to mount it ? e.g.
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter database mount;
result ?It appears that the "oracle-xe configure" script did not build my control files..
-bash-3.1$ sqlplus / as sysdba

Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
Regards

1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Custom Installation
Copy from OTN Note
Start
Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop
- X Window System
- Gnome
- KDE
- See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.

o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time
o     Set the Date and Time.

25.     User Account
o     Create an account for yourself.
o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.

There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

Problems with the installation of the Oracle 8i in Red Hat 6.1

It has some days I come trying to install the Oracle (Oracle 8i) in an operational system Linux Red Hat 6.1 and come finding problems, that did not obtain to determine correctly are of the Virtual Java Machine or in runIns.sh of the Oracle.
I go to give a detailed description of the error and mainly of runIns.sh for who it knows vocjs to help me in this arduous task that became the installation of oracle.
The installation of the Virtual Java Machine as well as the one of the Oracle followed the procedures told in the Leiame.Oracle being carried through with the user root.
All the installation process is being carried through with an user of the called system oracle8i pertaining to the primary group oinstall and the suplemental group dba.
When I enter with the following string of command I receive the error below:
$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please
wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1

The archive runInstall.sh before I discovered this group if found in the following way.

I had this problem the best thing to do is make sure you have the Blackdown.org JDK116_v5 for Linux installed. Then:
JAVA_HOME=/somedirectory/jdk116_v5
export JAVA_HOME
This fixed the problem for me and I was able to run runIns.sh.

It's works well but when 'setup.exe' ends, the directory C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XE is empty. It doesn't exit any files of the DB: controlfile, redo log, *.dbf, ....

Can you help me on that topic. Thanks you your help.

If you are only trying to learn, I would recommend either Fedora FC4 or OpenSuSE 10, and I would recommend installing ORacle Express Edition if you do not need advanced Oracle stuff (or you are not learning for OCP).
Again, use Werner's excellent site - http://www.puschitz.com or Ivan Kartik's site - http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora9_fedora.html to get good instruciton on installation.
If you want a free version that is as close to a supported Linux as legally possible, consider using WhiteBoxLinux.org, TaoLinux.org or CentOS.org linux. These are clones of RedHat Enterprise (the one that is supported). Or you could contact Novell.com and ask for an evaluation kit for SLES9.

Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion. I suspect the initmig8i.ora file is causing the problem. I have followed the installation guide very closely and the SID is mig8i. What might be the problem causing it to stop? Now, I can't connect to database.

Richard,
It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion. I suspect the initmig8i.ora file is causing the problem. I have followed the installation guide very closely and the SID is mig8i. What might be the problem causing it to stop? Now, I can't connect to database.

Installing DB 9.2.0 on Red Hat 9

Hi,
Can You help me with this? I am trying to install a test Oracle 9.2.0 Data Base on a Red Hat 9 WS. I have followed all recommandations found in these links:
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141
and yes, I have set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
I have even tried with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
All packages and libs mentioned in these these documents are inplace and the Linux OS i up to date with all Red Hat up2date packages. The kernel is 2.4.20-8.
The oracle installer always stops in the first steps after copying the java environment to /tmp/Ora****/ saying the famous words "Error occured installing Java Runtime Enviroment 1.1.8.0
After searching Metalink I tried to edit the oraparam.init file to point to a J2skd1.3.1_02 on the disk and running the installer from ../Disk1/install/linux directory. It works and the installer installs this java jre in the /tmp/Ora**** directory, but the installer stops with the same error message as before.
When I look in the Oracle_Home logs I find no hints in the *log file and the *.err file i empty.
I know that Oracle is not certified on Red Hat 9, but this installation is a prof-of-concept installation for a customer. I cannot except the customer to invest in an Red Hat AS and Oracle DB, if the installer cannot even run on a Red Hat 9 as the first test.
As seen in this forum many other persons run Oracle on RH9.0 WS, so it I am a bit frustrated.
Regards
Flemming G. Jensen

Thanks for your reply, but I think it is the linking process of the jre 1.1.8 which causes the problem. I guess,the first steps during installation are these:
When you type ./runInstall the installer copies a jre version 1.1.8 from Disk1 to the /tmp/Ora*** directory and start the GUI on that runtime engine. That is why I can configure oraparam.ini to point to a j2sdk1.3.1 version on the disk. The installer just copies this jdk to the /tmp/Ora* directory and starts the GUI on the 1.3.1 JVM, it finds in that directory. So the GUI runs on a jre 1.3.1.
The problem occurs when the installer starts linking the jre 1.1.8 from Disk1 with the kernel. By setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 one should circumvent the problems with the new kernel thread library, which Oracles 1.1.8 jre does not support. Unfortunately this does happen on this PC.

8.1.7. on Red Hat 7.0

I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 standard edition on Red Hat Linux 8.1.7. After installing all the selected products the network configuration assistant started and never returned. When I try to use any of the assistants (netasst, dbassist, ...) they hang up immediately when they try to call the Java runtime environment.
Oracle 8.1.6 works fine on the same machine (after patching glibc...). can anybody help me?
TIA

Hello:
Attempting to install Oracle8i on Red Hat 7.0
and cannot get a database to initilize. It hangs up. I was interested in your comment about others having problems. Where did you read this? The install completes but as I said, I cannot build the database. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks Art

I ran into the same problems with the installation of Oracle 8.1.6 on Red Hat 7.0 that it seems everyone else has.
In searching the Red Hat site, it appears that some bugs have been fixed in glibc 2.2 (which have already been discussed here) that are related. The fix was released on January 11th. Here is the link:
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2001-001.html
I have not tried this yet, but I'm going to do so tomorrow and see how she goes. Thought the large number of folks out there that have been dealing with this would like to know ASAP.
Good Luck!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hi,
If we want to install BI Publisher 11.1.1.1.5 on Red Hat, what would be the minumum and maximum version of the Red Hat required for successful installation?
In case we have Red Hat version 5.8, will BI Publisher 11.1.1.5 be compatible.
