Oracle Express on Ubuntu 7.10 not starting up..

I install the .deb package (as root) and all seems well.. it says its starting up.. but when I try to connect to the web interface on port 8080 or the listener on 1521.. nothing seems to be running..
What logs can I check out to see what the scoop is?
thanks!

Hmm.. that doesn't look good:
unixadm@batch-process:~$ /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/lsnrctl status

  • How to use unixODBC with Oracle Express on Ubuntu 8.10?

    I downloaded Oracle Express a couple of days ago, so I am totally new to Oracle.
    I tried connecting via unixODBC, using dsn=oracledsn, user=dba, password=abcd and received error info:
    1: st=01000, nerr=0, msg=
    [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
    but the shared 'so' library actually does exist at the path above. I also set
    ODBCINI=/etc/odbc.ini;export ODBCINI and immediately checked it was in the environment.
    The .ini files are:
    /etc/odbcinst.ini
    [OracleExpressdrv]
    Driver = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1
    Description = Oracle 10g express driver
    /etc/odbc.ini
    [ODBC Data Sources]
    oracledsn = Oracle Express DSN
    [oracledsn]
    Driver = OracleExpressdrv
    Note: The dsn and the driver names are enclosed within square brackets but came out as web links above in the preview.
    After many hours of googling I have not been able to find how to connect via ODBC to a local (on my PC) Oracle Express.
    Advice would be most welcome.

    hello
    I have the same problem. My system is Fedora 11
    I set the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files as you mentioned. I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
    $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/
    when I try to connect using isql, I get that error:
    [01000][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib/libsqora.so.10.1' : file not found
    [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
    I couldn't figure out what I am missing.
    May someone help please?

    SO ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER WILL BE APPRECIATED.THANKS

    To check if u installed correctly, in cmd prompt type tnsping xe. If installed correctly it shud say OK(30) else it will show an error. Now if it says OK, in cmd prompt type sqlplus and connect using system/pwd_u_provided_durin_installation, it shud connect.
    Some steps to follow before installing XE
    Before Installing Oracle,make sure to disable all the network adapters and ping in cmd prompt localhost and ur machine name, both shud refer to 127.0.0.1. Once oracle is installed,try to connect in ur web explorer and once connected,enable the network adapters. There shudnt be any firewall prob.,if it does add port 8080 as an exception to ur firewall list.

  • Oracle application server 10.1.3 not starting after crash

    Hi, I've been struggling with starting up application server 10.1.3 on Windows XP Professional SP2 following a system crash (power outage). When we restarted the machine we noted that the database wasn't coming up because our redo logs were full. We backed up the database with RMAN (freeing the logs) and the database started without a problem.
    We then tried to log into application server control from the website but were faced with a connection error. It is definitely the correct page as it was bookmarked on the server. I cannot start application server from the command line using opmnctl. Here is the output:

  • HP Notebook 250 64 bit Windows 7+ Ubuntu Dual Boot - Not starting!

    Hello,
    I have dual boot installed on the above mentioned laptop. While working, I was prompted to update flashplayer. Once the update was complete, the computer restarted and the usual dual boot menu did not appear. The machine keeps attempting to load it, fails then reverts back to shutting down and starting again. I ran diagnostic and the machine passed both hard drive and memory tests.
    I have UEFI on the machine and have therefore tried to look for solutions here:

  • Final Cut Express HD 3.5 does not start

    It attempts to start after fresh installation and registration and tries to load some modules (displayed in splash screen). It silently stops and does not run anymore. That happens every single time. The computer is Intel Mac Mini with Intel Core Duo.
    Any idea how to resolve the issue? I would prefer to avoid monkey way of manual delete files for not known reason and experimenting with reinstallations as it takes about 35 minutes of my life (instead of having fun from creating movies).
    What precisely do I need to remove and try so, installation is complete and stable?
    BTW if this is what used to happen with previous versions then doesn't Apple plan to resolve the issue at last or it plans on releasing every new version with the same/similar software bug?
    Thanks in advance.

    henriki,
    I am not sure, but I had some idea what could cause the problem. Before we reinstall let's try this:
    After installing on administartor account (that's what we have done so far I guess) let's start FCE on this account and try to register it with Apple online by trying to start it. Then we can try to start on other accounts without registering. If this does not help then before reinstalling I would remove FCE profile as recommended in some other article/thread BUT NOT TO PLAY WITH MANUAL FILE REMOVAL YET.
    I have suspicion that the problem is caused by the fact that software is not registered (and some system flags in administrative area are not set). If we try to register by running FCE from other accounts perhaps it tries to write some information in admistratior restricted file space. When it fails the program simply stops... quietly (Apple Engineers! Perhaps some info message box on screen could be developed not to mention that nicely designed software has registering and updating module available separately which you have spot for in system control module).
    I think that might help and no need for reinstallation. If this is the case we may be nailing the source of trouble as well as lame diagnostics design by Apple software engineers.

  • Opmn service does not start when try to start Oracle BI Services

    Hi ,
    I was able to install OBIEE 11g on my laptop and it worked fine for two days. Today when I try to login to rpd and type my user name and password I get the error that my user name and password is not correct. I tried to restart the machine and now I am not able to start opmn service.
    When I do Start>Oracle Business Intelligence (1)>Start BI Services, the script run and two command line windows open and about 10 minutes later get the last line that server started in RUNNING mode, but some how Oracle Process Manager (instance) service does not start. It started two days ago when I was able to login to OBIEE 11g.
    If I try to go to OBIEE 11g Home page I get this error "Error 500- Internal server error from RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol- HTTP/1.1: 10.5.1 500 Internal server error
    Any Idea how to fix this one.
    Thanks

    Maybe you need to tick the "use fully qualified names" check box and make sure that you have the schema object created (as a "folder" between the database and the tables in the physical layer).

  • Oracle database not starting up in oracle 10g RAC

    Hi!
    Recently I came across one problem with one node oracle 10g RAC.When the Oracle database is started,while opening it is giving ORA-03113:End of file on communication channel error.When I saw the the alert trace file and other trace files I found Disk group is exhausted error and it is not able to create .dbf files.Actually it is not a production server and I gave archive log destination in SAN.Even the spfile(content of init_database.ora) is in SAN..
    I tried Asmcmd utility to delete the archive log files.As the oracle is not available I am not able to asmcmd prompt.
    How to change the destination of archive log and to remove the old archive log files(as it is a testing environment we can remove) from SAN?Please let me know.
    Thanks & Regards

    On VMware there's a known issue with Oracle databases on a Windows client not starting up properly all the time and a manual startup using oradim -start -sid <whatever> is required to get it fully running. Hmmm, doing it several time, and never seen such issue. Which "known issue" and by who are you talking about ?
    I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still hereI'm sure, you miss something somewhere in the config. Right now, you're on supported configuration, you could either raise a SR to the support, or get help from your peer on Oracle Database General forum.
    Ah, but it's not a Windows issue. On a non-VM Windows box the database starts just fine all the time. Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
    I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
    If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.

    regards,

    I assumethe node manager is not running on Exadata though you have posted in the Exadata forum !
    how are you starting it. Are you using the gcstartup script within init.d ?
    Thanks

  • Oracle Database Not Starting Up Properly

    On VMware there's a known issue with Oracle databases on a Windows client not starting up properly all the time and a manual startup using oradim -start -sid <whatever> is required to get it fully running. I kinda figured that I wouldn't run into the exact same issue on Oracle VM. I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still here. I didn't find anything in this forum about the database not starting up, so I'm wondering if others are running into the same problem and how to resolve the issue. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Hmmm, doing it several time, and never seen such issue. Which "known issue" and by who are you talking about ?
    I created a brand new Oracle VM Windows 2003 32-bit server, installed the Oracle drivers for paravirtualization, and whammo, the problem is still hereI'm sure, you miss something somewhere in the config. Right now, you're on supported configuration, you could either raise a SR to the support, or get help from your peer on Oracle Database General forum.
    Ah, but it's not a Windows issue. On a non-VM Windows box the database starts just fine all the time. Again, this is a known issue acknowledged by Oracle on the VMware side, I'm just surprised it exists on the Oracle VM side.Again, give more details about this "known issue". Never heard about that, eventhough I've been around for years.
    I was afraid you were going to ask that. I'll have to search for it again, but I think you can do the same as well....Well, I doubt you could find a Metalink note about Oracle on VMWare. So far, Oracle has always refused to support database on OS virtualized on VMWare (or any VM software other than Oracle VM). Based on that, you could be sure, your "known issue" is not an issue on Oracle VM.
    If you want more help, again, give more details about your issue.

  • Oracle biee presentation service is not starting

    hi All,
    Today i installed oracle biee on my machine(having windows vista) andreplaced all corresponding files (like .rpd file & catalog and modify the nqsconfig.ini & instanceconfig.xml files). but when i tried to start the oracle bi presentation service, it was not starting(though i already started the oracle bi server and java host service).
    i got the following error prompt:
    "Windows could not start BI Presentation server on local computer.
    For more information,review the system event log.if this is non-microsoft service,contact the service vendor, and refer to service specific error code-1"
    Then i again replaced all the files to the default one(paint.rpd and paint catalog) and again tried to restart the service but this time i got the "error : 1053 Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
    please help me out
    Thanks

    Is oc4j running? otherwise start it form Start>All Programs>Oracle Business Intelligence>Start OC4J.
    Then start Presentation services (sawserver.exe in the OracleBI/web/bin directory or from Control Panel>Administrative tools> Services
    Then try the wbe URL
