Oracle 8.1.7 and Red Hat 7.1

I didn't find Oracle 8.1.7 as certified for RedHat 7.1.
Is it possible to install and run it anyway? Kernel is 2.4.2-2.

Hi,
Can you help me please. I get 2 error messages when starting up names. The first I understand because my SQLNET.ORA needs work, but the second is, it can not find the names executable file. I did a find and it is not on installed. I am trying to use 8.1.7 . I must have missed something on install. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help,
Jay Bennett

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Khalid,
    This combination is strongly not recommended. Oracle 8.0.5 was built with GNU Lib C 2.0, which is 2 generations ago. It will not work once installed and I do not know if the old glibc compatibility libraries would be available.
    I would encourage you to use Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.1) or wait a few days for Oracle 9i.

  • 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.

  • Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.3

    I am about to embark on an application upgrade. Currently, it runs on HP-UX (extortionate hardware prices) but I'm wanting to move to a Dell PowerEdge platform running Linux.
    The problem that I have is that my prefered platform the PE2600 ships with Red Hat 7.3, whereas my application vendor ships the application with Oracle 8.1.7, which (they tell me) is certified on Red Hat 7.1 but not on 7.3.
    So as far as I see it, either I attempt the application installation with RH 7.3 and hope for the best with regards to the App/Oracle (the supplier "...would support on a best efforts basis and would not support any issues they could not reproduce on Red Hat version 7.1"). Or I try to obtain a copy of RH7.1 and hope that it runs OK on the PE2600 (device drivers etc.).
    Any experiences of either running Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 7.3 or running Red Hat 7.1 on a PowerEdge 2600 (maybe not really this forum) would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gary Cooper

    Are you ever going to call Oracle, RedHat, or HP for support? If so, I say go with the suggested options. If you need high end performance, go with RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 and Oracle 9.2.0.1.

    Any idea about this problem?
    Thank you very much

    Make sure you are using a compatible version of Java and the glibc is correct.
    RH9 came in 2 versions - boxed and downloaded. The Boxed version was older and was compatible with Oracle 8.1.7, but the downloaded one upgraded the glibc and broke everything.
    Not sure why you are trying to install obsolete versions of both the OS and the database, but - expect challenges, and expect that very few people (if anyone) are knowledgeable, or even interested, in that combination.
    But if you insist ... http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Oracle8i_release_3_%288.1.7%29_on_RedHat_9 will give some advice on the downloaded RH9. Good luck.

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
    Pre-Installation steps
    ======================
    Space Requirement for types of installtions
    Install VC++
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
    Env path setting
    Create Applmgr user in Win2000
    Space Requirement for types installtion:
    Memory Requirement
    1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
    but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
    HDD capacity
    APP_Top(A)
    COMMON_TOP(C)
    DATA_TOP(D)
    Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]
    for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and
    GNUMAKE support, you should contact their respective vendors Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit

    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

  • 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 10g database installation in red hat 5

    what are the packages needed for oracle 10g database installation in red hat 5?
    what do you mean by yum way of installation?

    Check on the release notes for your platform
    This is for x86-64 Linux.. read it all, then you'll find the "6 Documentation Corrections and Additions" section you'll find the RPMs that you need
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm
    then go to the official doc installation of 10gR2 on x86-64 Linux
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
    Yum is a package management tool. This is what you'll be using to install the RPMs. But first you'll have to setup the Yum repository, usually what I do is stage the DVD media on the server then make it as a repository. If ever there's a specific (higher) version that I need then I just pull it on the RedHat Network.
    There are a lot of HOWTOs about Yum. You may read on this link http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/

    There are 2 things that need to be done prior to running the runInstaller program. As the user "root" type "xhost +localhost" (without the quotes). You may also use the TCP/IP address instead of using "localhost". Now, as the Oracle user type "export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0", then issue the command runInstaller.

  • 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
