O8i on Linux 2.2.7?

Hi everybody,
I am trying to select a database for our company's application.
Currently we have Liunx 6.1 with kernel version 2.2.7. Can
Oracle 8i, release 8.1.5 run on the linux version we have here?
It seems from Oracle's web site, it supports 2.2.
Another question is that is it easier to run oracle on Liunx or
NT?
Thanks a lot.

The kernel has nothing to do with it. The most likely cause of a difference would be using different JVMs. Failing that, it could at a pinch be different windowing toolkits or window managers, but I'd be surprised.

How to use Servlets with O8i on RH Linux 6.2 ???

I'm using apache Jserv 1.1.2 to run my servlets all my JDBC programs work fine and other servlets too but only JDBC servlets give this message
"SQLException caught Io exception: The network adapter could not
established the connection"
Can someone tell me How to configure JSERV to make connection ?

Hi there,
If I understand correctly you are running Jserv and Apache to connect to an Oracle 8i db on a remote machine. If you are getting the "network adapter" error make sure the listener is running on the remote machine (lsntrctl start -- lsntrctl status, or something like that from bash shell). Also make sure SQLNet is configured properly. Try connecting from a machine with SQL Plus. If this works and the listener is running you should be in business.

Where is the linux patch ?

I've searched OTN for the patches for Linux, but the only ones I can find are to do with security, where is this 8.1.5.0.2 patch that everybody keeps referring to ?

In the Oracle technet website, choose
Technologies, then linux, then O8i,
then o8i for linux, there will be a
link for patches as well as the readme
file.

Idl2java failed

I install o8i on linux and apply the first patch, everything is ok, except Corba doesn't work. The problem is the idl2java can't be executed. I get the following error message:
.//idl2java: unexpected EOF while looking for ``'
.//idl2java: .//idl2java: line 20: syntax error
could someone tell how to do with that?

I had the same error
After editing $ORACLE_HOME/bin/idl2java and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/vbj it worked ok.
idl2java line 6
TMP\'bla bla should be TMP='bla bla
Since I don't have whence on my system (debian) I replaced all references to 'whence' by 'which' in vbj.

Oracle8i and RH6.1 Installation

I did install 8i to linux. But when I want to create a database with dbassist &, I get at first a warning "There are no NLS country charcter sets installed" and at the end, after I hit "Install now" I get the error -ORA-10020 no Connection -
I did edit the .bash_profile exactly like the script "User Friendly Installation of Oracle 8i"
Who can help me?

Could be you need to set an environment variable correctly - check out http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/rh61-815.html for info on environment variables and general instruction for installing o8i on Linux Red Hat 61

Webdb on O8i/Linux RH6.0

I have installed Oracle8i on redhat 6.0. It works fine.
I did install Webdb according to the maninst.htm document.
The command "wdblsnr hostname 80" executed without error,
"wdblsnr -console hostname 80" was rejected
(which process is associated with the listener?).
The webbrowswer returned
"The requested URL /webdb/admin_/gateway.htm was not found on
this server."
Does anyone know what went wrong and how to proceed?
Thanks, Christian

You'll have to be prepared to wade through and understand the Linux way of recompiling your kernel. The files can be located using the "find" command. There is some great "HOW-TO"s in the Linux RedHat site.
Tip: Be very careful how you answer the "make config" questions because it can mess up the resulting VMLINUZ object. Also, be sure to place secondary entry in your "lilo.conf" to allow you a graceful way of getting back to the old kernel should the new one fail.
Good Luck!

I too received this error. This error is related to the version of the .h files you use. On Linux there are a couple of versions of some header files. Some in /usr/src and some in /usr/lib. The stdarg.h and stddef.h from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/...... appear to be the ones that worked for me. I fixed this problem by doing a "locate" on stddef.h and updating the $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg file to point to and include the correct .h file(s). I also started with the demo_proc.mk file as my base since the make files from my SUN box not longer worked. I also tried copying some files to the /usr/inlcude directory since this is a default location for header files. Bottom line, get the right stddef.h, stdarg.h and *.h files. Hack up demo_proc.mk if needed. There are a number of bugs in PRO*C for Linux. Many are simple things such as the static nature of the PRO*C configuration environment. Hop this helps. Regards.

NO, it will not work. You cannot even install since the installer
for Solaris is a Solaris binary and some windows exe also does
not work. I guess somebody has to write a better bootstrap proggy
first...
I wonder why they did it that way...

8i intallation on linux

jre 1.1.6 is in the correct path but when runInstaller the OUI is invoked it says
"Error in createOUIprocess ():-1
:Bad address

edit .profile of "oracle", then run it.
enter x-window as oracle, go to the o8i's
installation path. don't
execute "runInstaller"! go to the
"<where your o8i installation directory>/
install/linux/", click on the "runIns.sh"!
everything would be ok!

Interface o8 on linux to aolserver

I'm trying to set up AOL SErver to maintain pools to an oracle
database with the ACS toolkit but i'm running into problems.
The AOLSERVER log keeps reporting that the connection is null.
I think the problem lies in the ODBC datasource option of the
AOLSERVER configuration. I have no idea what to put in this
field. Thank you for your suggestions. If you could cc a reply

I am sure you don't want to hear this, but as a unix hack and
database administrator, I put together a script which uses "dd"
to hot backup the database nightly to tape. It works pretty
well. If anything fails, it sends me e-mail. Not quite the
graphical solution that Legatto might offer, but the price and
piece of mind is right. The only issues I've had with the
backups is that my Linux (Rethat 5.2) has problems writing to my
tape drive every now and then (I get e-mailed of course). Not
sure about Legatto on Linux. We use it on Solaris and it, along
with any other media managment tool, has it's problems.

HOWTO Oracle on Linux

Well everyone, I've been blundering about since O8i came out
trying to make this thing work on Linux. Much to my chagrin I
found a very nice howto at Linux Journal
(http://www.linuxjournal.com)(They just release the December
issue, so make sure to look in the online only section of the
November issue!) I've just run my first queries against the
dba_objects table. I am so ecstatic that I can hardly see
straight (OOPS...maybe that is from all the "Crown Rocks" that I
was drinking at Fritz's tonight!) Anybody out there know of
Fritz's? Well, if you do, Fritz...That's It! I digress.
Anyway, check out the link and have fun with actually developing
with 8i on Linux. The only thing that I've found so far that
wasn't working was the Listener, but I have a feeling that once
I fix that I should be good to go! I hope this helps a few of
you. By the way, I take no credit for the article at Linux
Journal. Please thank the person that did the work! Thanks

I don't use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH...
Instead i place the ../8.1.5/lib path in /etc/ld.so.conf and run
ldconfig as root.
Funny thing is: when i run ldconfig i get errors on the
following files:
libnjni8.so
libqsmashr.so
libordimg8.so0
libordvir8.so0
The error is "warning: can't read header from <full libname
path>, skipping"
Another user said those files are zero length...???

Hi
Sorry I think you ask if there is an Oracle release for Alpha-linux, not just linux for alpha ;)
I ask Oracle staff and the answer is that today (almost september of 2001) no.

Legato, O8 on Linux Support

Greetings,
So while we wait for O8i, which may be having JAVA hang ups based
on what I have seen in O8i on NT and Solaris, let me ask this
question - What do you do for backups?
Obviously Oracle and Legato are the party line, but does Legato
run on Linux? Are there other options?
I am getting ready to go to production and we DON'T want the
headaches of NT or the cost of Solaris so Linux is the answer,
and while I can shut down the DB to back it up, I would rather
avoid that if possible.

O8i on NT

hi,
what is the optimum hardware requirement for installing O8i EE on NT4 for an internet application .. ?
i'm now planning to use 256MB ram, 6GB harddisk x2 and a single PIII processor.
The data volume is as small as 10 MB per month and there should be at most 100 per hour.
Thx.

I guess you're database on Linux is using another character set
than your database on NT. Or your session is using another
character set than the one used by the database.
Try an import with the DIRECT parameter set to FALSE or N.
