Oracle 10g r2 install in Fedora 13

Hi all,
I am a new Fedora guy. I get trouble to install Oracle 10g r2 in Fedora 13.
The following is error message:
[oracle@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: /home/oracle/software/database/install/.oui: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
Who can help me? Please give me detail guide.
Thanks!

Hi,
Seems a problem related to your glibc install. Are you sure you have the required packages ?
Don't know if your version is a 32 bits or a 64 bits one but check this link (32 bits) :
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb28052%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Installation%29
or this link (64 bits)
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=install.102%2Fb15668%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Installation%29
and follow carefully the instructions (Redhat instructions)
Best regards
Phil

  • How to install and configure Oracle 10g Express Edition on Fedora 11?

    Hi everyone!
    I have recently installed Oracle 10g XE on my Laptop Gateway T-1625, which has Fedora 11.
    I followed the install instructions on [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/tutorial/DBXETutorial/index.htm] , and configured the server as explained, but something is wrong... When I try to go to the database home page http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, I get "Failed to Connect" on Firefox 3.5b4... I don't think it's because of the Firefox version because it's proved to be very stable (for a beta).
    I've search for similar issues on GNU/Linux and I found this thread in these forums: [ http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=915218&tstart=0] , but the solution is for Ubuntu 9.04, and if it's possible I would like to know a specific solution for Fedora 11.
    I also tried to see the oracle server status with:
    # /etc/init.d/oracle-xe status
    And I got this....

    Hi again!
    After your last post I realized that the dba group and the oracle user already existed.
    #groupadd dba
    groupadd: group dba exists
    #useradd oracle -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -g dba
    useradd: user oracle existsHowever, I finally assigned a password for that account and changed the ownership of the /usr/lib/oracle/xe
    with the commands you suggested:
    passwd oracle
    chown -R oracle:dba /usr/lib/oracle/xeAfter this, I can log in as the oracle user but the SELinux showed a warning and the /usr/lib/oracle/xe
    is treated as the oracle home, and no .bashrc file is located on this home. This is the SELinux warning:
    SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor (xdm_t) "write" to /usr/lib/oracle/xe (lib_t).
    Details:
    SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. /usr/lib/oracle/xe may
    be a mislabeled. /usr/lib/oracle/xe default SELinux type is user_home_dir_t, but its
    current type is lib_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem.
    File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways.
      * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent
        directory by default.
      * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the parent directory
    by specifying a process running in context A which creates a file in a directory
    labeled B will instead create the file with label C.
        An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type and
    creates a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive the etc_t type due
    to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled with the net_conf_t type
    because the SELinux policy specifies this.
      * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or restorecon.
    This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally confined
    application was run under the wrong domain.
    However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not have
    been labeled with this type.
    If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
    against this package.
    Allowing Acces:
    You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the restorecon command.
    restorecon '/usr/lib/oracle/xe', if this file is a directory, you can recursively restore using
    restorecon -R '/usr/lib/oracle/xe'.
    Fix command:
    restorecon '/usr/lib/oracle/xe'I suppose the command #useradd oracle -d /home/oracle -s /bin/bash -g dba is where I can define the user's home, but if this user already exists how can I modify its settings?
    is SELinux preventing the .bashrc file to be created? or what could be causing this?.
    I hope you know how much I appreciate your help and want to thank you for your time.

  • Oracle 10g not installing successfully in Windows Vista.

    Dear Gurus,
    Last week I bought a HP Pavlion Laptop with Windows Vista Operating System. Yesterday I tried to install Oracle 10g Database in it but got some errors during the installation and also it is not successfully installed. Even though there is no problem with the Software.
    Please tell me whether Oracle 10g is supported in Windows Vista. If not what is the version of Oracle should I install. I urgently need Oracle Database to be installed in my Laptop, please suggest what can be done.
    Thank you.
    With Kind Regards,

  • Oracle 10G client Install on Windows

    We recently had our Oracle client upgraded from Oracle 9i to Oracle 10G. Now when we sign into the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, select a user schema and right click on a table to View/Edit Contents, the records display but when i select a record and try to right click to Add Row / Delete all i get is a solid gray bar, so i can't delete the record. I am thinking this may be a permission problem of how the client was installed, but have no idea where to start. Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

  • Oracle 10g Clusterware install

    I'm trying to install Oracle 10g Clustware for RedHat 4 64-bit. During verification using the Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) to check system requirements for installing Oracle Clusterware, I recieve the following error.
    ERROR:
    Could not find a suitable set of interfaces for VIPs.
    Result: Node connectivity check failed.
    How does clusterware pick up the VIP for the nodes???

    Chandra, is correct - the message can probably be ignored - but not for the reason he states.
    The installer looks for an adapter that has an IP address bound that is not within the ranges specified in the rfc 1918 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt
    If it does not find those it can not easily identify which adapter 'could' be the private one and then help identify the public adapter - it then throws this message.
    This message is probably only a warning in your case - if you are sure your network is set up correctly.
    This is fixed in the 11g version of the product.

  • Oracle 10g on Red Hat Fedora

    I've downloaded Oracle 10g Express edition on to my computer running a Red Hat Fedora Linux OS. However having read the getting started page of the database setup and followed the instructions to open the Go To Database Home Page, on my applications menu section, I am greeted by a Unable to Connect to Server page. Followed by: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.
    Has any one else had this problem? If so how can it be resolved?
    I have already turned off the firewall on my OS and it has made no difference. Is it Oracles fault in that they have not maintained this page on their website? Or is it a problem with the way my computer is set?

    If you were able to reach to the end of the installation, then make sure both your database and listener are up and running. OracleXE requires the database to be registered against the listener to have the http access enabled.
    From an OS prompt, ensure your environment variables are properly set,
    ORACLE_HOME=pathToYourOracleHome
    ORACLE_SID=XE #verify the instance name, xe or XE, it is case sensitive
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    Then issue this command to verify the listener is up and running:
    lsnrctl status
    There you should see the http port at 8080 and the XE instance registered against the listener.
    And verify the database is working:
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> select status from v$instance
    You should see OPEN as the status.
    Please post the output of the above commands.

  • Oracle 10g just installed

    Please help me, I've just installed the Oracle 10g Database with the Enterprise option in my laptop, but this database actually eats all the RAM of my laptop, I just have 512MB, is there any way that I could possibly change this behavior? i mean, Is there anyway that I can change the settings of the database so it wouldn't consume all my system resources?
    THANKS!
    PS: I installed the enterprise version because I want to practice certain things that are available only in this version.

    You may check your SGA settings in init.ora/spfile.ora , especially
    db_cache_size
    java_pool_size
    large_pool_size
    shared_pool_size
    (10g Release2) streams_pool_size
    You have to play around with the values, there are no general rules, possibly you can set java_pool_size and large_pool_size to 0.

  • Oracle 10g component install

    Guys
    I installed oracle 10g enterprise edition without any feature like Data mining,partitioning and olap. But when i installed my database, i see olap and datamining is on for my database and showing in banner also
    why is it so? and doesn't it mean i have these component installed. Due to license issue i don't want to install these component

    If you have run a default install, you have installed these components.
    You can verify this by firing up OUI and click the list installed products button.
    You can deinstall them in your database, by running dbca and choose edit database.

  • Oracle 10G 2 install on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 - Get ORA-12154 exception

    During the install, on the step "Oracle Database configuration assistant", I am getting the error:
    ORA-12154 TNS": could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
    Has anyone seen this before? I am struggling for past couple of days on this.

    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.
    Action:
    - If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
    - Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
    - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
    - Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
    - If you are using directory naming:
    - Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
    - Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.
    - Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.
    - Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier
    - If you are using easy connect naming:
    - Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).
    - Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.
    - Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

    <p>One way to install the missing packages is to open a terminal session as root and enter this on the command line:</p>
    <p>yum install package_name</p>
    <p>It will either install the missing package or tell you there is nothing to do. Forget about metalink. You can only access that if you have a support contract. Go to <b>here</b> and you will find information on the required packages for a client installation.</p>

    Here is the error message the first time I started the second instance

    PRKO-2015 : Error in checking condition of instance on node: shared-rac2Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? If so, is there a workaround or a solution to overcome this?
    Is this a VMWare interaction issue or is it related to Oracle?
    I've been stuck at this for quite a while now and any help is tremendously appreciated.

    Added srvctl output

    Hello,
    I monitored the following file when starting the second instance.
    - /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/log/shared-rac2/alertshared-rac1.log (on RAC1)
    - /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/log/shared-rac2/alertshared-rac2.log (on RAC2)
    There was no output generated.
    Regarding the article you sent, I did not follow it, however I followed this article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/chan-ubl-vmware.html
    I did not follow it step by step as I do not want ASM in my testing environment. However, the concepts have been used as described and in the same order. All of the shared disks are Oracle Clusterware Filesystem (OCFS2).
