Installing Oracle database on SUSE 10 SP 2

hi
Previously, I installed oracle database on Ubuntu and OEL 5, now I tried to install it on SUSE 10 SP2. I found that the path recommended for the installation is
/opt/oracle
while in others (Ubuntu and OEL 5) the was
/u01/app/oracle
My question is that why is this difference, if we install Oracle in /u01/app/oracle on SUSE will it give problems?
regards
RF

There's no difference between those folders

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.

I installed Oracle database 10g on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 edition.
But this massage pop up when I used my browser first time before start database.
Actually when I clicks on yes to start database.
The web browser you are using is not optimized for this release of Oracle enterprise manager. It is recommended that you use one of the following:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5, 6.0 or higher
* Netscape Navigator version 7 and higher
*Mozilla version 1.3.1 and higher
Dose any one know hoe to upgrade mozilla or install internet explorer 5.5, 6.0 or higher or SLES 8.

You can download package for your distribution (for example) from http://www.mozilla.org or directly from SuSE ftp server ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.1/suse/i586

Error when Installing Oracle XE on Suse Linux 10.0

I found another thread in this forum where you can look up how to extend your swap space (look at the bottom of that thread):
re:Out of swap space during 9iAS install.
I am very new to Linux, I am very much disappointed,
I installed Linux with lots of hopes that I can

comfortably. Now If I cannot intall a small database
Oracle XE, even with 1GB Ram and 25GB harddrive on
Linux, I don't realize why people run for Linux.
I could Oracle XE on windows on a machine with 512
mb ram in 4 minutes.Maybe you should take into consideration that you are not so "new" to windows and that each new system has a learning curve.
Someone please help.. in detail. How to resize the
swap partition at this point.Look in the provided link.
I have very limitted or no knowldge in Linux.Maybe you should change that or stay with what you know. I don't see any other way ...
As a sidenote, each command under Linux does have a so called "man" page (from manual). You also need to open a shell to access those commands as shown in the thread.
And please, take a look at the commands in that thread before you start implementing, since for example the dd command seems only to create a file with a size of 512M.
Knowing how to use a search engine would also be a valuable asset in your current position.

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..

Installing Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1

While inslalling Oracle Database 10g Client Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86-64 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) we've got an error
Checking operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed <<<<
Could we install Oracle Database 10g on Linux Red Hat 5.1 or we need only Oracle Database 11g?

Verify that the redhat-release RPM is installed on your Red Hat system:
rpm -q redhat-release
This RPM is important for RHEL since RHEL AS 4, RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 2.1 are Linux releases supported by Oracle. Without this RPM, Oracle 10g OUI won't be able to recognize it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release file. You also have to change /etc/redhat-release for unsupported releases like Fedora Core and RH9.
I do not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable other checks you probably don't want to.
On RHEL AS 4 (for 10g R1), RH9, and FC 1 you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to make Oracle 10g believe it's running on a supported release.
Regarding RHEL AS 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize RHEL AS 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.
To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy/paste the following commands:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
After you are done with the Oracle10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-release:
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release

Hi,
I have the same problem but, how can i know what my SID is ? i am trying with "ORCL" and it doesnt work.
Do you know in which file i can get it ? in the documentation of the installation i found this:
"If you are not sure of the values to enter for the URL, then you can query the data dictionary to obtain these values.
Connect as SYSTEM and run the following queries.
To retrieve the SID, execute: select instance_name from v$instance;
If you need to retrieve the port number, check the listener.ora file on the
back-end database."
But how can i query the database if i have not finished to install it yet and where is located the listener.ora file ?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you.

How to install oracle database 11g express edition on Windows 7

Hi Guys,
i am trying to download and install Oracle database 11g express edition on windows7 and i can't seem to get it right. i did get the download but when i try to install, it keeps saying it appears to be an invalid archive.
Please help..

Action - Refer to the logs or contact OracleFinding the problem is the key. "Refer to the logs" is the only option, XE has no oracle support offerings.
Which plugin failed, and why did it fail will be important clues. There should be error messages in the log that will be helpful.
Otherwise, we don't have much help to offer. Fixing a problem means identifying the problem and performing steps to correct it, if there a fix is available.
A MOS lookup on the ins-20802 error has snippets from one installer session, this one is from an x64 install. Not x86. To paraphrase the details:
... Created a new file <drive>:<OH path>\cfgtoollogs\configToolAllCommands
SEVERE: java.io.IOException: Access is denied
...So from those symptoms, the user trying to run the installer does not have appropriate rights on that drive and/or folder. The fix for that particular problem is adding the user to the local administrators group. And rerunning the install. After running the deinstall steps to clean up the installation. As specified in the XE install guide for Windows.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm
Also note the System Requirements, it specifies a System architecture Intel x86, which is not X64. There is no X64 installer for XE on Windows. So it might work. Or it might not if your host is x64.
So if that is your particular error, verify that your user is in the local admins group. Either use the local users and groups applet (Start/Run/lusrmgr.msc) and open up the Administrators group. Click the Add button. Find your user. If your OS user is a windows domain user, be sure you have authenticated to the domain.
Try the `net ...` list of the adminis group, that should reveal whom is indeed in the local administrators group:
net localgroup administrators
Administrator
<domain>\Domain Admins ... # ??? is the host in windows domain ???
<domain>\Local Admins
<domain>\<user1>
<user2>
<user3>
echo %USERNAME%
# if relevant:
echo %USERDOMAIN%Like it also states in the Windows install guide, under Permission Required quote:
... must be a member of the Administrators group on Windows to install Oracle Database XE.

Can somebody that knows this, or has installed Oracle Express on Ubuntu, to please explain it to me what does it mean and why am I getting those errors. Please explain thoroughly as if I am an amateur person, IN DETAIL, STEP-BY-STEP. I want to run it and make it work! I heard that it encourages people to answer for points. I am open for your suggestions and experiences, as long as it's not 'use common sense', 'you're dumb', or an answer that is vaguely explained. Thank you for those that take the time to read it.

Can't succesfully install Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Ubuntu

Hi,
I've been trying to install Oracle Database 10g xe on Ubuntu 10.04 and when I execute the .deb package (oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb) I get a quick installation that doesn't ask me for any configuration settings. When the installation is finished I don't get any menu in my Applications menu named "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition" as specified in Getting Started Guide (I only get some items grouped into an category called "Other" (Backup Database, Get Started, Get Started With Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, Go To Online Forum, Read Documentation, Read Online Help, Register For Online Forum, Restore Database, Run SQL Command Line, Start Database and Stop Database). As a consequence I can't access the Oracle Database Home Page.
In addition when I click on Start Database I get the following message: "Operation failed. josep is not member of 'dba' group".
I've tried to re-download the packages and to configure it by editing /etc/init.d/oracle-xe but this doesn't solve my problem.
can you give me some help?
Thabk you in advance!
