Installing oracle 8i

hi,
i have a peculiar problem in installing oracle 8i. i use the following config>
PC BRAND: ACER 7500
PROCESSOR: INTEL PENTIUM 4
SPEED: 1.7GHZ
CACHE: 256KB
RAM: 1GB
MOTHER BOARD: ACER WITH INTEL 850 CHIPSET
========================================
i am using oracle 8i ver 8.1.6.0.0 production (std edition).
when i run the setup cd, the universal installer will open. but when i click on install, the next screen will never come. This problem was solved by renaming the dll file symcjit.dll from the installation directory. this can be done by copying the entire setup folder to my harddisk and renaming the file. after renaming the file, the setup works fine and i am able to install oracle 8i.
but another problem arises: after some days, when we open universal installer it gives me error:
jrew.exe - Application error
The instruction at "0x6ee37f8a" referenced memory at "0x0000003c". The memory could not be read.
My third problem: in one of our ACER system with same config above, whenever the system is booted, we have to stop ORACLE.EXE process and start our oracle service again inorder to login to oracle 8i.
can anyone help me. pl mail me to [email protected] or post the reply here

Hi,
I would like to ask why are you using 8.1.6 as it had many bugs that Oracle only corrected in version 8.1.7
I think that Oracle reccomended back a few years ago the urgent upgrade to 8.1.7

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:

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

Workaround: Beats me.
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.

Install Oracle 8.1.7 on Sun 5.7 0899

Can somebody help me with the following problem ?
When installing Oracle 8.1.7 , i found the error message
"Error in invoking target install of makefile /u01/app/product/817/plsal/lib/ins_plsql.mk"
Does that error come from the swap space ? because i saw the error log like this "...: java.io.IOException: Not enough space"
Thank!

I have seen this before.
Quick Fix:
The problem with files still named xxxxxO is caused by the install. Sometimes it
works to just copy the file in this case:
$cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl
There are probably other files that were not renamed by the install:
Finally, the listener can run! yipee.. :)
It failed to run because there're some file 'missing'.
I told u before, lsnrctl didn't exist in my box. Well, I found that not only lnsrctl.
There're three more files needed to be renamed. So, total in the list are
dbsnmp, lsnrctl, tnslsnr, and oratclsh.
All of them still have their odd xxxxO name (I should have known it from
the start).
Once I copied all the file to their 'proper' name, the listener can start
successfully. (Though i think the listener need only lsnrctl and tnslsnr,
i still renamed them all).
But I wonder, why does the installer not rename those files?
I found that those file were created normally during installation, until
i run setup_stubs.sh.
Is there any bug on setup_stubs.sh? Why you didn't experience it as I did?
However, the most important things is, the database running well :)

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

Can not Install Oracle 9i on Linux RedHat AS 2.1 (Itanium)

Hi,
I am an oracle and system administrator. I'm trying for a month to install :
Oracle 9i Database (64-bits) Rel 2 (9.2.0.2.0) for linux Intel Itaniuml
On : my server (DELL PowerEdge 7150 bi-processor (Itanium 733 Mhz) )
with : Red Hat Advanced Server for The Itanium Processor Operating system
I have chaged the kernel, glibc and gcc with the versions described by different documents.
but the oracle's binarys dont work, and i receve (illegal instruction) when i try SQLPLUS for example !!!
I think that i'm enable to get the right glibc and the gcc rpms that can work with itanium-linux.
One document says that i must get (Linux Header Patch 2.4.18 ) from Intel !!!
I'm searching for days but no way !!!
That's very urgent ...
Please Help Me ..., this is my E-mail : [email protected]

Hi,

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 !

That is quite impossible to give you an aswer. We have to few information. For example, when did you get the error message? Is there an associate error number with this message? Try to explain what you did.

Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0 (woody)

Hello,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0 (kernel 2.4.19 and glibc 2.2.5) but the runInstaller program does not start.
It displays the msg "Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait..." and nothing more happens.
I found lots of posts on this forum regarding installing Oracle, but none of the workarounds for Debian seems to work.
I'm using Blackdown's JDK 1.1.8, but even with it the runInstaller does not start (it's installed in /usr/local/java, as Oracle expects).
I tried "unset LANG", but it didn't work. Also tried "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5", nothing either.
It's not possible to use Debian 2.2, I must install Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0. Also I successfully installed Oracle 9.0.1 on the same machine I'm trying to instal Oracle 8.1.7.
Has anyone successfully installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Debian 3.0? What should I do install it?
Regards,
Ivens Porto

I had to install the newest 118 JRE from IBM and change:
DISTDIR/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux to be a softlink which pointed to /usr/local/IBMJava-118-JRE/

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.
