Problem installing 10g on unbreakable linux

hi,

I have following libxp already installed
libXpm-3.5.5-3 (i386)
libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5 (i386)

I've seen similar problems when I've forgotten to install all the required RPMs. So double check with the docs and the latest readmes, it might be your solution

    Please also read the install documentation. This has been noted as a requirement for oracle-xe (you need one more lib ;) ) This also helps you setup your DB, etc, etc.

  • How can i remove jdk1.4 install in oracle unbreakable linux.

    I am able to comple java program in oracle unbreakable linux but not able to run program.this is simple hello world program there is no syntax problem .I am getting error:

    How can i unstall jdk1.4 gnu jdk/bin path and jdk 1.4 gnu java from with my system.
    Regards
    Prashansh Kumar

    From what I understand, the problem is that your classes are compiled for a later version of Java. I'm not sure at this point that uninstalling Java 1.4 is the right solution - it may break important system functions.
    I would rather try another approach first:
    # alternatives --config java
    -> select the java version you want as default.If you want to install java 1.6 you can try the following:
    # yum install java-1.6*
    or just the runtime package
    # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
    For example:
    # java -version
    java version "1.4.2"
    # yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk
    # alternatives --config java
    There are 2 programs which provide 'java'.
      Selection    Command
    + 1           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java
    *  2           /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java
    Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 2
    # java -version
    java version "1.6.0"

    Why are you guys so complicating something that is so trivial and simple? The 11g installation guide for Linux states clearly that (for OEL-5) the following packages must be installed:
    binutils-2.17.50.0.6-2.el5
    compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
    elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5
    elfutils-libelf-devel-0.125
    glibc-2.5-12
    glibc-common-2.5-12
    glibc-devel-2.5-12
    gcc-4.1.1-52
    gcc-c++-4.1.1-52
    libaio-0.3.106
    libaio-devel-0.3.106
    libgcc-4.1.1-52
    libstdc++-4.1.1
    libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-52.e15
    make-3.81-1.1
    sysstat-7.0.0
    unixODBC-2.2.11
    unixODBC-devel-2.2.11All these packages are on OEL-5 distribution media pack (CDs) and you can install them at any time. The simplest way to do so is to choose the packages during main installation. Never accept the default installation image on the installer screen. Instead, choose the packages yourself.

  • Problem installing Oracle 11i in Linux

    I have been trying to install 11i in Redhat Linux. I followed the documentation provided by Oracle, by installing Java SDK 1.3, by creating stage area for installation. However, when I go to the selected directory u01/...../RapidWiz and type rapidwiz, I get the message "command not found". I checked the directory and there exists the command. (just to see if it works in Windows, I popped the first Cd and restarted on another machine.. it came back with all the welcome screen etc.,). Can someone help me... Pretty Please!!!!!!!!!

    How can I install Oracle apps using downloaded Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 files? All the files in .zip format. The 'Rapid Install Start Here - Disk 1' is composed of 7 separate zip files (1 of 7 ... 7 of 7). Do I need to unzip the the files and burn DVD-R's first to compile them by disk?
    Is there another way?
    Has anyone tried installing from downloaded install files?
    Please help.

  • Problems installing 10G (r 10.2) on Windows 7 64-bit

    Hello. I am taking an introductory Oracle SQL class. The professor gave us a link to install Oracle 10g release 2, which I followed and performed on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. The installation seemed to run through okay. When asked (again, per instruction), I created a database named CIS276 (the class name) instead of "orcl" as suggested during the setup. I am having problems getting connected to the database, however, and since the class is online, I can't go to our campus to sit down with the professor to work out where the trouble is, so I'm hoping somebody out here can help me. Here's where I am:
    I am able to get to the Enterprise Manager through the loopback address and port that was given to me during installation. I am able to log into EM using the SYS account with the password I entered during install. I get to a screen that has a button labelled "Startup/Shutdown." When I click that button, I am taken to a screen asking for Host credentials (OS account name and password) and database credentials (I use "SYS", the password I created, database is already filled in, and "SYSDBA" for "Connect as"). After entering this information, I click on OK. I get an error message at the top of the screen saying: "Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null." I looked up this string and a suggestion was to run " lsnrctl status"--I think (I've been trying a lot of things over the past couple of days to try to get this running) and the program replied that the environment variable "ORACLE_SID" wasn't set. I looked up what I was supposed to do and went into Windows 7 Environment area and set the value.
    I rebooted the computer and tried again and am still getting the same problem. So I Googled the error message again and saw a suggestion to stop and restart dbconsole. When I did that, I got an error (stopping and starting) telling me that I was denied access.
    At this point, I felt I'd better stop and get any suggestions from more experienced Oracle users. If anybody could give me some suggestions as to what to try next, I'd truly appreciate it.
    And one other question: when I followed the link to download Oracle, there was another download listed called something like "Companion Disk 2". Is this a necessary download or is it just extra stuff that I may not use for now?
    Thank you again.
    Eric S. Bauman

    Hi Eric,
    I thin your problem is not related to Operating System. Right now I also use Windows 7 64 bit. and the oracle database that i used is Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) for windows vista 64 bit. still up and running good.
    "I am able to get to the Enterprise Manager through the loopback address and port that was given to me during installation. I am able to log into EM using the SYS account with the password I entered during install. I get to a screen that has a button labelled "Startup/Shutdown." When I click that button, I am taken to a screen asking for Host credentials (OS account name and password) and database credentials (I use "SYS", the password I created, database is already filled in, and "SYSDBA" for "Connect as"). After entering this information, I click on OK. I get an error message at the top of the screen saying: "Couldnot contact the agent. Verify that the url for the agent is null." I looked up this string and a suggestion was to run " lsnrctl status"--I think (I've been trying a lot of things over the past couple of days to try to get this running) and the program replied that the environment variable "ORACLE_SID" wasn't set. I looked up what I was supposed to do and went into Windows 7 Environment area and set the value."
    from your problem let's do it one by one:
    to run lsnrctl, from windows desktop--> click start menu -> on search program and files box type cmd, the start menu will change its appearance and it will show you black icon with names cmd.exe do right click on that icon then choose run as administrator. It will open DOS command prompt for you.
    on DOS prompt type : set ORACLE_SID=<your database name>, example : set ORACLE_SID=orcl then enter
    now you can execute your lsnrctl status from the prompt.
    in case you need to start listener you can use : lsnrctl start from previous DOS Prompt or you can start it via services.msc as follow : from windows desktop--> click start menu -> on search program and files box type services.msc then enter on window that open find oracle<oracle_home>TNS listener services then double click this services click on button start.
    as for the agent problem is not running try to check the services with names oracleDBConsole<dbname> is it run or not.
    hope it helps.

  • Is there a way to install 10G on a Linux box with less than 1G of Ram?

    Hi All,
    This maybe a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway.
    I've got a Linux box with 256 Ram running CentOS. I can up it to 512, but playing with the 10G R2 Enterprise install, it complains about it not having 1G of ram needed for install. So is 1G the minium ram for Oracle 10G R2 or is there a way to install it on a box with less ram? This is not a production environment, I'm just learning and testing.
    Also, what is the min ram requirements for the Express version?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Problem installing mod_plsql oracle 11g linux

    Hello and thanks in advance for your help! I want to install an Oracle HTTP Server 11g on a Centos linux server. It seems to be working but when I execute a pls query such as mydomain.gr:7777/pls/smth nothing happens.. Logs of apache show the following error:
    [VirtualHost: main] MODPLSQL-00368: mod_plsql: (null) HTTP-404 No procedure specified to run
    Until now I have managed to install a WebLogic server and the WebCache server. Should I also install the Database manager so as to configure
    mod_plsql?
    I edited dads.conf, cache.conf and plsql.conf, and included plsql.conf in httpd.conf of apache for oracle http server.
    What could be going wrong?

    Try add and set "PlsqlDefaultPage" at "dads.conf". Any PL/SQL procedure, which generated HTML. There is package "PKG_WEB", procedure "list' at this example:

  • Problem installing collaboration suite on linux

    hi
    im trying to install ocs on linux redhat es 3.0
    after installing the infrastructure it goes ok
    while installing the storage and database creation
    hangs at "running custom scripts" any body a clue
    note that it is a single box installation

    You need to have:
    - Ssh running on the remote server
    - An ssh client on your local PC (e.g. PUTTY, it's a freeware), capable to tunnel and forward X traffic
    - An X client running on your local PC
    Then:
    - On the server, configure X to accept connections from your PC:
    export DISPLAY=your_ip_address:0
    - Then, on the server, you have to enable your PC to use X but I can't remember the command.... will search for it and update the thread
    - Configure and activate the local X client on your PC
    - Configure PUTTY to forward X traffic. Connect via ssh logging in normally to the remote machine. Just leave the session open (maybe it's a good idea to remove any timeouts parameters). The SSH tunnel is now built, and the X traffic should be OK
    - Test the connection: if you type "xclock" in the SSH window, a nice little analogic clock will appear on your PC desktop (if everything is OK).
    - If the clock appears.... Well, go on with your remote installation! :-)
    Bye,

  • Problem installing Oracle XE in Linux (Suse 9.2)

  • Various problems installing 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2.0) for Windows

    I have been trying in vain for quite a while now to install the above mentioned release. I opted to copy all the required installation files from the CD to a location on my HDD. My issues are as follows:
    According to the documentation I started the 'Autorun' but did not get the option 'Install/Deinstall Products.' I had just one option which was to simply 'Start the Installation' which I selected. Following this, nothing happened. There was absolutely no activity thereafter.
    Next I launched 'setup.exe' from the 'Install' directory which seemed to start things off. After selecting options like installation location and type of installation I get an error message to say that 'Exception generated when IP address of host cannot be determined.' I have no choice but to Ignore and continue since 'Retrying' doesn't solve the issue and annulling the operation stops the installation completely as it should.
    This message appears again after selecting the kind of database I choose to install in the next step and again just before the actual installation begins, after all the options are selected.
    The next error message I get is 'Error when starting service OracleCSService.' Again I have no choice but to Ignore and continue.
    Finally at the end of this exercise I cannot use this installation. My final target is to use the default database created through Informatica, an ETL which never can manage to log into this database.
    Are the error messages cited above common? What can be the possible solutions?
    Regards

    The 'autorun' not starting the setup.exe is a pretty well known problem. Your workaround to using the install\setup.exe is correct.
    The "Exception generated when IP address of host cannot be determined" comes from not having a properly configured network subsystem. Perhaps you are using DHCP to get the IP address. However, Oracle is desiged to work in a server environment and the key difference between a server and a workstation/desktop/laptop/client is that a server has a well known static location (hostname and IP address) where all the clients can find it.
    To get around this second problem may be as simple as setting up the Microsoft Loopback adapter. You should find more than a few references to that using a forum (or Google) search.
    Your troubleshooting approach of 'ignore until everything fails' is perhaps not the ideal approach in Oracle. It takes a lot longer, but I'd recommend you stop to investigate each of the problems. Many are resolved through the documentation, however many are also well documented in these forums and on various web sites. Google is indeed your friend.

    It looks like you will have to uninstall "libaio1", but I don't know for sure and don't have Ubuntu 10.4 available right now to play with.
    Sorry but the instructions are for Ubuntu 10.10, not 10.4, which is different.
    If you need to install XE on Ubuntu, I'd rather suggest 11gR2 XE:
    Install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto
    Install Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 how-to
    Oracle 11gR2 Express Edition on Linux Ubuntu 11.10 howto
