Installing Oracle 9i (Rel 2 v9.2.0.1.0) on XP Pro

I am about to do the above installation and also install Oracle Forms and Reports 6i (Rel 2). Judging by the number of postings on the subject in the forum it seems it is not as straightforward as the documentation makes out.
Has anyone any tips on what should be installed first and how I can achieve a trouble free installation.
Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Jacob,
Re your own problem, everything you need should be on your CDs. If you read the 9i Installation Guide (for Windows), Component Accessibility, it tells you how to install the JRE.
I am scouring all the documentation first before I attempt my installation.

Cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB

Hello,
I cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB, because when the the configuration assistant installer try to copy the db files, it stop with the following errors:
ORA-24324 Service Handle not Initialized
ORA-24323 Value not authorized
ORA-28547 Connection to Server failed probable Oracle NET ADMIN errorRegards
Siyavuş

You should be connected as a local administrator to perform the install process.
Try to perfom a software only install, then once you make sure the installation was successful, launch the dbca. It is important for you to use a local account to perform the installation and db setup process, otherwise, if you have authentication problems, even if you comment the authentication line at the sqlnet.ora file you will be facing issues that will make fail the assistant, since it is designed to work assuming the user is OS authenticated.

Want to install Oracle Linux Rel.6 and have a graphical interface

I'm glad you did not take my remark to call you a Linux enthusiast in bad way. It certainly was not meant to be a bad comment, but it's was probably silly of me to make such a remark anyway. I do not take personally offence easily in a forum like this. No, if you want to offend me, post poor code and claim it as the best thing since slice bread. ;-)
I guess I strive to be liberal, but by definition I don't think I really fit into any political wing.Likewise. Find politics a necessary evil to keep abreast of - such as the election in the US.
Back to Linux and your example, I have used such interfaces for many years too. Unfortunately we often have to use what is provided. However, the reason for the text interface is no longer valid, unless your input device is only a text based terminal.Not as much the input device - heck, pure tty devices are pretty much a thing of the past. It is about the complexity of the infrastructure between you and the device you need to administer. And about the task you need to perform.
The connectivity can mean being unable to run a GUI - due to performance, firewalls, router configurations and so on. The task at hand could very well be easily done, using the relevant o/s commands via a command line interface.
I think there is nothing against a GUI app that runs on your PC to sends appropriate commands to a text interface over a slow serial link, apart from the effort that is required to interact with errors, etc.Much more complex than that. A terminal server is usually used - and it attaches to the serial/RS232 connections of multiple devices that need to be administered. It will typically reside on a separate management network too, and not on the local company/corporate intranet.
So for you to access a device to administer, you need an open firewall to the management network to reach the management server that handles the serial console connection for the device you want to administer. You need a valid o/s account on that terminal server. You need to use ssh to access the command line of that terminal server. You need to enter the relevant command that will attach your ssh session to the RS232 console connection to the device to administer.
There is no GUI app on your side that can not only automagically do all this for you, but also provide you with GUI admin widgets to send commands to the remote device. Even if that remote device being sysadmin'ed is Linux, different distros and different versions of the same distros, means different commands, variances in command line parameters for such commands, and so on.
A sysadmin that cannot deal with such situations, and need a GUI as a crutch to administer a device.. I for one will not call that person a sysadmin. I would call the person incompetent instead. Harsh views perhaps, but being sysadmin is an unforgiving job. A mistake, or inability to access a device and fix it using the bare minimum, could result in severe financial loss for the company.

Files not found while installing Oracle 9iAS Rel 2 on Win2K

Hello,
When installing Oracle 9iAs Release 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows 2000, the installation pops up windows 'File not found' for a number of files like -
jarfiles.1.4.jar, jarfiles.1.2.jar.
I checked out and the files are not avialable in the installation. The setup disks are proper.
What could be the problem?
Regards,
Mandar

The release date has slipped. We've found some issues which must be fixed before we can release on Windows. Hopefully we will have it soon.
I understand that there is a high level of anticipation. I appreciate everyone's patience.

~~[DONE]~~ Installing Oracle 10g Rel. 2 on linux distros...

Hello guys,
I wanted to ask if anyone of you tried to install oracle 10g release 2 for personal use on any linux distro (free distros).
If yes which linux did you try?
Message was edited by:

Choose the Linux distribution that makes you feel most comfortable. At the Linux level, there is very little difference between fedora core 4 and SUSE linux 9.2 (if there is, they are not allowed to use the label Linux). At the 'other stuff thrown in' level, which makes it a distro, you need to decide which is going to make you happiest.
In any case, installing Oracle in Linux means you need to have the prerequisites set up. That means a specific version of the kernel, a specific set of libraries and a specific set of installed applications. If you have those, you follow a specific set of steps to install.
Werner Puschitz helps you figure out the specific prerequisites at ttp://www.puschitz.com ... if you can not understand the prereqs and steps, then you might want to spend more time learning Linux basic admin until you are more comfortable otherwise you will get into some trouble down the road.

Installing Oracle 10g release 2 on RHEL4

I am new with Linux and Oracle, and I have been assigned to install Oracle 10g Rel 2 in RHEL4 OS.
I have checked and installed missing RPM's and created group users, passwd, configered Kernel, set Shell limits and finally created directories on root as so,
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall/u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
After, I mount the CD on root
mount /media/cdrom
After mounting is complete i enter into oracle user and do the following
su - oracle
cd /media/cdrom
./runInstaller
However, I receive the following message : Olite installation requires ORACLE_HOME to be set. PLease set it and retry again.
So I set the following like so,
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_SID= demo1
./runInstaller
I than get the following message.
Olite installation requires JAVA13_HOME to be set. PLease set it JDK 1.4.1 install area and rety again.
I am not sure what JAVA13_HOME is but I am wondering if it is related to some Mobile sync. Also, could somebody help me and advise if I am going in the right direction here?
Many thanks in advance.
Alex

Hi Alex
Can you please control that ?
JAVA13_HOME will be the location for your JAVA home. You can check the path for your java installtion, either 1.3 or 1.4 and set the path accordingly. Usually in Linux the path will be some thing like /local/java/jdk1.4.2.
TNS_ADMIN should point to $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Please read that also http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28928_01/doc/server.103/b28924/preinstall.htm
Let us know if it helps you.

Does Oracle Linux Rel.6 have graphical capabilities

Installed Oracle Linux Rel. 6 on a stand-alone PC for testing. When the system boots it defaults to terminal mode automatically. What is required are graphical capabilities to load Oracle products (DB and OEM). Is this possible with this linux and how?

Dude wrote:
At some point in history a computer was not even considered a consumer device. Sorry I don't understand why a graphical interface, which intends to make complex configurations easier to manage and more foolproof, should not be applied to "expert devices". It does not make it easier. That is a fallacy - the type of argument one gets from a Windows admin that only knows a GUI and nothing else. There are numerous times when dealing with the command line is not only far more powerful, but also far more easier. There are so many different types of configurations, many not to be found in any GUI. There are configurations that are too complex for a GUI. Etc.
Linux is not Windows. Linux does not have an all-configuration-in-one-basket registry. So the GUI centric approach to sys admin on Linux is not only the wrong approach, but a dangerous one.
As for the desktop interface, I have no problem if someone decides that their servers run best without it, and that a text interface and a bare metal engine is the way a computer should run. It depends on your environment and desires, and it is easy enough for someone with such requirement and technical background to customize a Linux system accordingly. But I'm not a fan of social engineering and don't think it should be disabled by default because it will give newcomers a harder time than required.So instead give newcomers a crutch called a GUI and hobble them for the rest of their lives, expecting a GUI to be the extend of what sys admin and configuration are on Linux?
To put this into an analogy. A Cessna single engine 152 pilot cannot simply expect to get into a twin turbo prop King Air and fly the plane. He cannot argue that the plane should be easy enough to fly for a pilot and that as he is a pilot he should be able to fly it. He first needs to learn how twins behave. What the envelope is. How the systems work. Etc.
Yes, he will need his basic piloting skills learned as a C152 pilot. But those skills alone do not suffice.
Similarly, newcomers to Linux sys admin should not expect to simply get into the driving seat and effectively and correctly install and configure it. There is a learning curve. Arguing that this learning curve needs to be mitigated by a GUI? That is like a C152 pilot arguing that he does not need to know the complexities of a twin as he can use the autopilot in his little Cessna and all he needs to fly the large twin is to use that plane's autopilot. It is nonsensical.

Installing Oracle Database 10 G Release 2 on Centos 5.0 and SuSe Linux Prof

I have problem in installing Oracle Database 10 G Release 2 on Centos 5.0 and SuSe Linux Professional 9.1.

Can`t Reboot after Oracle Linux Rel.6 Installed

Previously the Desktop PC had WINDOWS 7 and Debian Linux installed with GRUB controlling the dual boot between Debian and Windows 7. It worked fine.. no problems. Decided to go with Oracle Linux as I will be installing some Oracle products on this PC.
Installed Oracle Linux over Debian. The Oracle Linux install completed successfully and requested a reboot. On reboot the process stops on the GRUB step showing...
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: file not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Seems to be missing a file on the Linux side to initiate the dual boot sequence.
1. Does Oracle Linux have GRUB available for dual boots.
2. If not, then is there some tool available to control dual boots with Oracle Linux and Windows 7.

Reran the entire Oracle Linux install and ensured the boot loader was put in the Master Boot Record. I selected 'Change Device' to confirm the Master Boot Record option was highlighted.
Here are my partitions on disk 'sdb' :
Disk
Device Size (MB) Mount Point Type
sdb
sdb1 2000 / ext4
sdb2 8000 swap
sdb3 180780 ext3
Rebooted system when the Oracle Iinux install finished - successfully... but once again encountered the following:
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: no such device: 121d0490-81aa-4f10-a2fa-17ca257b27f4
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Followed your instructions to fix the problem, and at the shell prompt # entered these commands :
chroot /dev/sysimage
grup-install /dev/sdb
Message returned:
Installation finished. No errors encountered
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map
# This device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0) /dev/sdb
Rebooted system... same GRUB error message was displayed.
What am I missing? Never had this problem with Debian !
