Oracle 10g Express on Fedora Core 6

What a mess!!!! This thing does not want to work at all. Install (followed directions explicitly) seemed to go fine, but attempting to go to database home page just comes up with the firefox error page that site cannot be found. Tried to use SQL*Plus to create a tablespace, no go. Tried to create a user, no go. Opened all kinds of ports in my firewall (1521 for listener, 8085 for server) and my router for good measure. Nothing. Starting the listener seems to take forever, and it says it has started, but I don't think that is true. Trying to start or stop the database using the menu commands gives me a terminal window with the message "Operation failed, root is not a member of 'dba' group." I really need this to work so I can do some work from home. Anyone have any ideas?

What is your 'SEL:inux' config? In general I've found that SELinux blocks most of the commands needed to set up Oracle XE so I simply turn it off.
SQLPlus uses 1521 for the initial connect with the listener, but the followup connect with the server is on a random port. Selectively opening ports may not do much good.
Oracle was blasted hard by the Unix community in the '90s for using root. "No self respecting *nix administrator would permit the use of root for anything other than system config." So Oracle went out of their way to make sure the only time root is needed - or permitted - is during install. In fact, a good install of Oracle in *nix will not permit root to run the database as it can be a serious security issue. Instead, any user who is part of the ORADBA group (group dba by default) can do all admin. The official Oracle owner, by default 'oracle' can, of course, do it all.

Oracle 10g Express on Fedora 14 64-bit howto

I wanted to test Oracle 10g XE using VMware and Fedora 14 and found the installation instructions form Oracle somewhat outdated and confusing. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm. Here are my installation notes - perhaps someone will find them helpful.
h3. Installation of Fedora and Oracle 10g XE:
h4. 1) Install Fedora 14 Desktop 64-bit form the Live DVD using the defaults.
Note: To open a terminal window, select Terminal from Applications/System Tools menu.
h4. 2) Edit /etc/selinux/config to disable SELinux:
# su - root
# vi /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
h4. 3) Install required software including 32-bit libraries:
$ su - root
# yum install install bc libc.so.6 libaio.so.1 gcc libaio compat-libstdc++-33
h4. 4) Download and install Oracle 10g XE:
http://technet.oracle.com
$ su - root
# cd /home/<your_usename>/Downloads
# yum install --nogpgcheck oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
h4. 5) Configure Oracle 10g XE:
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
h4. 6) Configure your regular fedora user account:
$ su - root
# /usr/sbin/groupadd -r dba
# usermod -G dba <your username>
# su - <your username>
$ echo "source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh" >> $HOME/.bashrc
Logout for the change to take affect!
To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
h3. Remote Access:
h4. 1) Enable remote ssh login:
$ su - root
# service sshd start
# chkconfig --level 345 sshd on
h4. 2) Configure Network Firewall from System/Administration menu:
Other Ports
Add
User defined
Do this for ports 8080 and 1521
Apply
h3. VMWare Tools installation:
+Note: configure your guest OS for Bridged Networking and fixed IP+
$ su - root
# yum install gcc make kernel-devel perl
At your VMware guest menu, select "install VMware Tools"
Right click on VMwareTools-xxx.tar.gz and extract it to the Desktop
Open a terminal window and type the following:
$ su - root
# cd /home/<your_username>/Desktop/vmware-tools-distrib
# ./vmware-install.pl
Continue to press Return and accept defaults.
# reboot
h3. Troubleshooting:
h4. ssh port 22: Connection refused
The Network Firewall is enabled by default, but port 22 is open.
You may try to simply disable/apply and enable/apply and try again - strange, but worked for me.
( +service iptables restart+ did not resolve this)
h4. Check if the ssh daemon is running:
# lsof -i tcp:22
h4. Use sqlplus to reset your passwords:
Make sure you properly configured your regular fedora user account as outlined above:
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter user sys identified by "password" account unlock;
SQL> alter user system identified by "password" account unlock;
h4. Start and stop Oracle XE:
# su - root
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
h3. Related Links:

I got Oracle 11gR2 running on 64-bit Fedora 14 x86_64 - you do need a mix of x64_86 and i686 (32-bit) packages as given here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285/toc.htm
These aren't exact matches on version numbers so when runInstaller doesn't pass validation, just check "Ignore". This will fail during linking, so follow along below and the rest will go smoothly:
installation error in invoking target 'agent nmhs'
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi.
So you want to build for fedora 13 without getting the error...
When you start to install with ./runInstaller, run in another terminal window (as root)
ls $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk
At first this will produce an error, as the installer wont have created this file yet.
Once the file exists, do:
vi $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/lib/ins_emagent.mk
Search for the line
$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL)
Change it to:
$(MK_EMAGENT_NMECTL) -lnnz11
If you do it within 30-40 seconds of the file appearing, you should not get any errors and the build will go fine. If you get an error, finish your edit then click on retry.
Hope that helps.
Gordon.

Oracle 9i Client on Fedora Core 3

Has anyone managed to successfully install Oracle 9 Client on Fedora Core 3? Installing the 10g Client was no problem, but I need to run the 9i Client as the 10g Client cannot be used when connecting to 9i our Management Server.
All help appreciated!

you need to tell path to script.
like /instatntclient_odbc.sh /usr/local
/usr/local is the place where unixodbc configuration fiels are placed
If you are done with your setup.
Can you please let me know whether oracle client software is also required or oracle instant client 10g and odbc will work

How can i create a new database instance in oracle 10g express edition?

hello everybody
i'm a student
i am developing a database application
i'm using oracle 10g express edition
to run my application i need to create another database instance
but i didn't find any option for doing so in that product
if there is pls tell me where it is?
if not pls tell me how to manually create it?
regards,
Chaitanya

yaa i'm sure about that .
i want one more instance of database.Can you perhaps explain why? I have a fair share of production and development servers - and not a single one of them needs to run more than one database instance.
So I'm interested in what requirement you are trying to satisfy by using two database instances on a single platform.
Oh yeah - if you want to create a custom XE instance (different SID, different tablespace sizes, more/less PL/SQL stuff installed, hack standard), make a copy of your XE db creation script (in your XE's +$ORACLE_HOME/bin+ and called createdb.sh ) and modify that for your needs.
PS. even with a different SID, only a single XE instance can be run at a time - you can however have 2 different ones defined and then use one at a time (e.g. testing international settings, init param differences, etc.)

I think that Feedbak forum is not the best place for this problem.
You should ask this into
