Hi.
Try this site:
http://free-zg.hinet.hr/denisk/index_en.html
I've used the instructions on it for 8.1.7 and 9.0.1 on various
RedHat versions. Not an exact answer to your problem but it
might help.
Good Luck.

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
    command it gives the following error & quit.
    [oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
    Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad address
    And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
    error.
    You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
    me at the moment.
    Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
    Thx in advance.

    You need to install java.

  • Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    Hi,
    Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
    I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
    It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
    Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
    Thanks in advanced for any help.
    Best regards,
    William

    I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
    seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
    could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
    installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
    get started.

  • Installing Oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux

    Hi,
    I am new with Linux Os and have to install oracle 10g Express Edition on Red Hat Linux Os for a customer. So before proceeding, I need some guidelines.
    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setup
    Regards
    Edited by: user640001 on Feb 25, 2011 5:44 AM

    1) which Linux(freeware) flavor should I install ?Ordinarily, I'd recommend getting Oracle Linux (http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux) because the default install includes all the prerequisite RPM packages you will need. And failing that, also offers another RPM package "oracle-validated" which will cause the installation of the necessary prerequisites.
    But... you mentioned customer: if this is a revenue-producing situation and customer money is at stake, I strongly recommend they obtain commercial O/S support with either Oracle, Red Hat, or maybe SuSE/Novell. Compared to the cost of a downed business, an O/S support arrangement is cheap, cheap, cheap.
    2) is there any virtual enviornment available for Linux Os on which I can install 10g Express Edition database ?Sure. You can run Oracle VirtualBox on most Linux, Windows, or Solaris boxes. http://VirtualBox.org for info.
    3) If available, is there any difference in using the Linux Os in Virtual enviornment and actual installing Linux ? will there be any difference in installing database and configuration for both the cases?No real differences in either environment.
    4) need download link for latest version of Red Hat Linux setupWhat, you didn't try http://eDelivery.oracle.com/linux yet?

  • Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

    We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
    controllers.
    We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
    According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
    8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
    6.2.7.
    Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
    I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
    anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
    impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

    Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
    8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
    Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
    For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9

    Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)

  • Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

    Hi,
    I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
    I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
    bash: NETCA: command not found
    however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
    ****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
    ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
    directory that contains Oracle products.
    Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
    i then set the enviroment variable thus:
    set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
    Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
    please help if u can.
    olumide

    Hi,
    check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
    Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
    set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
    export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .

  • Installing issues with Oracle Database 11g R1 on Red Hat Linux

    Hi,
    I am installing Oracle Database 11g on Red Hat Linux.
    Version of the OS:Linux 2.6.9-5.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 5 19:30:39 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    I have installed XManager on my PC to access the runtime installer in Graphical mode.
    But once i click the installer file from Xmanager, it asks if the user wants to run it in terminal or simply run.
    I selected the run in terminal and it starts the terminal where the initial pre-requisite checks are done i.e swap memory,temp and display.
    The screen disappers and the graphical OUI never turns up...
    Any pointer would be helpful.
    Regards
    Prabal

    Try the following:
    1. logon to the linux using root and issue the following command - xhost+
    2. Open xterm in the Xmanager and logon to the linux using oracle user.
    3. in the installation directory issue ./runInstaller.

  • Installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

    I have installed Oracle on Win NT quite a few times. I am trying to get my hands dirty with Oracle on Linux.
    I have religiously followed all the steps in the installation guide except for changing kernel
    parameters and recompiling, as I was not very comfortable with kernel recompilation
    and also since I am using it only for testing and not for production, I felt the default
    values might suffice. I have installed the software but when I start creating the database
    it hangs after sometime saying 'Not connected to Oracle'. I have configured the listener
    seperately using netca and tried to create the database using dbassist, but could proceed no further.
    Kindly suggest way out.

  • Oracle 8.1.7 and Red Hat Linux 7.1

    Hello!
    I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 in one of our servers, but when invoking the ./runInstaller, the universal Installer cannot be run, it seeks for a Java Runtime Environment 1.1.8 on /bin/jre.
    I tried downloading jre1.1.8 and tried installing it on the server. After installing the jre, I included jre on the $PATH environment variable.
    I tried to re-run the universal installer, however I still encounter the same error. Are there any patches I missed to install on the linux side before installing Oracle8.1.7?
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    I'm using IBMJava118-SDKfrom rpm. You can find it there: http://www.thomasfly.com/Oranux/IBMJava118-SDK-1.1.8-5.0.i386.rpm
    After installing RPM I add JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH in my /etc/profile. After that logout and login as oracle and run ./runInstaller. Everything work fine.
    BTW: http://www.thomasfly.com/Oranux/ -- fine manual for installing Oracle on Linux.
    Good luck.

  • Upgrade Oracle 9i on Solaris to Oracle 10g (Oracle 10.2.0.1) Red Hat Linux

    At present we are maintaining a J2EE application running on a UNIX Platform with the following environment configuration:
    o Web Server (Apache 2.0.52)
    o Application Server (WebLogic Server 9.0)
    o Database Server (Oracle 9i RAC)
    The current requirement is to upgrade Oracle 9i on UNIX to Oracle 10g (Oracle 10.2.0.1) on Linux. Will there be any impact on
    -> Oracle developer applications (Forms/Reports) because of oracle upgrade?
    -> .net applications accessing oracle because of oracle upgrade?
    -> Java applications accessing oracle because of oracle upgrade?
    -> compatibility issues resulting from the differences in the Oracle database versions
    Any pointers on this will be really helpful.

    Download patch set from metalink and extract patch into some directory.
    Then from that directory run "Opatch install". ( You need to shutdown all database and other service while upgrading code tree)
