Running ORACLE on Debian Linux

Hi!
I have installed ORACLE 10g. When I run "oracle" command from oracle user account, nothing's doing. When I run "sqlplus" and login as "/ as sysdba" then I receive a message "Connected to an idle instance.". So, what have I do to run ORACLE?
Thanks in advance.
Ps. Sorry for my bad english.

Connected to an idle instance.This message means that your DB is not running, or ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set properly. Be sure that ORACLE_SID has correct value, then, if you get that message, type "startup".

Oracle on Debian Linux

Oracle doesn't support Debian Linux. Has anyone gotten it to successfully run on Debian Linux? What would I need to do to get it working?

Oracle works nice on Debian 2.2 ;-)
Install 8.1.6 because comes with jre
you should install following debian packages:
libg++2.8.2-glibc2.1
libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1
once installed you should fixed up file dbstart (follow instructions on www.oralinux.org)

Oracle on debian?

Is there any problems with running oracle on debian/GNU linux? I have tried installing it on woody (testing release) and sid (unstable release). however whenever I start ./runInstaller it hangs with: Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
Additionally, when checking top, jre has 98.8% cpu usage.
If anyone has successfully installed oracle on any recent release of debian (potato, woody, sid), please let me know what you did to get it working.

To All on this thread.
I am running Oracle 8i (8.1.7) and 9i (9.0.1) on the following Debian versions without any problems.
2.2.12 (only 8.1.7)
2.4.12 glibc 2.2 (8.1.7 and 9.0.1 and 9iAS)
2.4.17 glibc 2.2 (8.1.7 and 9.0.1 and 9iAS)
Downgrading compilers and binutils like on redhat is not necessary.
Main things to look for
- Make sure you have 500-600 M free in your /tmp.
- Make sure that your swap file is big enough > 1.5 Gb due to memory leak in some versions of Oracle Universal Installer
- check your locale settings in /etc/locale.gen. Make sure you don't have UTF8 or UTF16 there becuase java 1.1.8 doesn't support it and your runInstaller will crash with sigsegv 11 error
For 8.1.7 under 2.4 kernel perform normal installation
Download glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz and follow instructions in the README file
For 9.0.1
Follow standard instructions. When it gets to the stage of linking you will get an error reported.
Now cd to the bin directory and edit genclntsh
replace
# Original line
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc"
by
# New line
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4 -lgcc -ldl -lm -lc /lib/ld-linux.so.2"
Doublecheck in /usr/lib/gcc-lib directory for the directory i386-linux and the version nr of the file in that directory. On Redhat for example it is /usr/lib/gcc-lib/redhat-linux/2.93.2 .
Save and exit
run genclntsh
when finished click retry in the installer program. It should be all working ok now.

Trouble Running Oracle on Linux --- newbie

I've installed Oracle on my linux system with a few errors at the end, which the installer assured me that those errors will not affect my installation (some sort of services errors).
So what do I do now?
I'm well versed with SQL and have been working with database systems for years... but getting oracle running has be a pain in my neck.
Here are a few issues... numbered for your reply convenience:
1)What file do you run to start the daemon? One would think that since this version is made to run on linux, the standard <name>d daemon naming would be expected (oracled, much like mysqld).. but I find nothing. I'm looked through the quick install and the install guides, and I must be missing something. They explain how to use everything to use oracle... but they don't say how to start the darn thing.
2)What is the ORACLE_HOME directory? The install would not allow me to run as root, so I had to run as one of the users. It then asked for an inventory directory which it said would house all my oracle products.. (/usr/local/oraInventory).. yet.. it tried to use /home/johnt/Oracle_Home1 for something.. I would assume oracle. Why would it try to install a product in my home directory rather than the inventory directory I just gave it??? What are these directories for? Your install language needs a little help. Is Oracle_Home1 supposed to be my first oracle product? Meaning if I purchase another then it will be install in Oracle_Home2? Not intuitive naming. Is this simply the single user's environment? Meaning that this is duplicated in every users directory? That would take up a hell of a lot of space.
3)Half of the programs I try to run say that ORACLE_HOME isn't found. Yet I have followed the install guides as to how to set the variable yet it still doesn't find it. I assumed that my Oracle_Home1 directory was the ORACLE_HOME directory... but since that didn't work, I tried setting it to the oraInventory directory (the one which the installation said the oracle products would be installed.. or housed.. which would make it a home, right?) and it still did not work. What am I doing wrong?

Connected to an idle instance.This message means that your DB is not running, or ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set properly. Be sure that ORACLE_SID has correct value, then, if you get that message, type "startup".

I can easily run my on Windows and Linux platform untill i am not use java bean in my form. After using the getMacaddress JAVA BEAN. I am not able to run my form on linux platform. If i remove the java bean from my form than form will run on linux.
I am not familiar with linux so i am not able to trace the problem basicaly i don't know which version of jre is used by linux system and i don't know how to find it.
Please guide me.

Now i install the jdk 1.6.0_20 and add into the jdeveloper 10.1.3.
and i change my code for get mac id is -
package demo;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.net.SocketException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
public class App{
public static void main(String[] args){
InetAddress ip;
try {
ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Current IP address : " + ip.getHostAddress());
NetworkInterface network = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
byte[] mac = network.getHardwareAddress();
System.out.print("Current MAC address : ");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < mac.length; i++) {
sb.append(String.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));
System.out.println(sb.toString());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SocketException e){
e.printStackTrace();
in form i create one jave bean area and add the implement class is
demo.get_info.
and on B1 (button) when-button-pressed
:T1 :=GET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY('BEAN_MAC',1,'get_info');
No error comes and no out put comes. So please guide me how to use the getHardwareAddress to get mac id.

/dev/shm on Oracle Linux 6.x to run Oracle 11g R2 - manual configuration?

Hello
We are building a server to run Oracle 11g R2 database (11.2.0.3 x64) on Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK R2.
Our preference is to use AMM to have Oracle 11g R2 manage memory. We may impose some minium SGA and PGA memory allocations but basically aim to use MEMORY_TARGET to manage overall memory.
By default Linux makes the size of /dev/shm ~50% of server physical RAM, as far as I can tell.
Here is the /etc/fstab entry created by the installation:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
Given this Linux server will only run Oracle 11g R2 database and some monitoring software, almost application code will run on the server. The application code will run on the separate application server and is Java based.
Can I change the */etc/fstab* entry for /dev/shm to manually increase the size to take up ~80-90% of the server physical RAM ? Is it a good idea?
The server is 64-bit, the RAM = 64 GB, so I am thinking to manually make /dev/shm to be = ~55GB, leaving ~8GB for other purposes.
Right now it's about 32GB (50%?) if I leave the /dev/shm 'defaults' on.
many thanks

thanks,
I have read the doc (what little there is on this topic).
I have asked on the database forum......
just FYI - below is the proof:
SQL> show parameter mem
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE
hi_shared_memory_address     integer     0
memory_max_target          big integer 4G
memory_target          big integer 0
shared_memory_address     integer     0
SQL> show parameter ga
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE
lock_sga               boolean     FALSE
pga_aggregate_target          big integer 1600M
pre_page_sga          boolean     FALSE
sga_max_size          big integer 3G
sga_target               big integer 1600M
still does not work.
And I cant change memory_max_target = 0 because I get error on startup:
SQL> alter system set memory_max_target=0 scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-00843: Parameter not taking MEMORY_MAX_TARGET into account
ORA-00849: SGA_TARGET 3221225472 cannot be set to more than MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 0.
BUT if memory_max_target is > 0 then alert log says hugepages can not be used
it feels like catch-22.....
thanks

Run Oracle on Linux VMware kit in runlevel 3

Hi,
Anyone has managed to run Oracle on Linux VMware kit in runlevel 3 instead of 5, i.e. no GUI.

I have managed to run Redhat linux in run level 3, by editing /etc/inittab and change the run level to 3.
However, the RAC services didn't managed to start up. When I run crsstat, it gets cannot connect to CRS.

Run Oracle under Linux

Hi
I am a newbie on Linux environment, now I am using Redhat AS 2.1. I've just finished installed oracle 9i on my Linux and it went successfully.
The problem is, I can't find the Oracle menu on my Redhat GUI (as in Windows), so I need a guidance of how to access & run my oracle on my Linux.
any helps / clues will be appreciated
thx

Hi,
The installation on Linux doesn't create icons on the GUI as in Windows environment.
You can run the tools and the sqlplus from a terminal.
The tools should be find in: /your oraclehome/bin
Use oemapp to load Enterprise Manager and other tools to create, modify users, instances, etc.
Good Luck!!

How to run oracle 10g application on firefox browser.(linux)

on of my client using Linux (UBUNTU) OS.he wants to run oracle application on firefox.but firefox always asks for intall plugins..
what setting should i do to run my application on firefox linux(UBUNTU) client.

When using Firefox Browser 3.0.x, you have to manually install the java plugin on your pc and copy the NPJPI150_xx.dll to the plugin directory of Firefox.
Make sure, that you use exactly the same version, as you named in your formsweb.cfg configuration.
In my case, were we use Java Plugin 1.5.0_06, I have these linse in my formsweb.cfg file:
# For Firefox:
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5.0_06
# For IE:
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
Good luck

Oracle 9i and Linux

In the documentation of Oracle 9i database, it stands that it has been validated with suse 7.1 and patches.
I would like if anybody tried to run Oracle 9i database on a Mandrake 7.x or 8, ora Debian linux ?

Lauren,
I have oracle 9i running like a dream on Debian 2.4.9 kernel.
I had no issues with binutils etc. The trick is actually in
making a modification in genclntsh in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin
directory.
Debian (woody)
binutils 2.11.90.0.31-1 (not that it matters as far as I'm
concerned
kernel 2.4.9
When the installation gets to the relinking part make the
following mods in genclntsh
(all on one line)
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -L/usr/lib/gcc-
lib/i386-linux/2.95.4 -lgcc -ldl -lm -lc /lib/ld-linux.so.2"
If you use Redhat or other distro check /usr/lib/gcc-lib
directory for the exact subdirectory. On Redhat it is actually
called
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/.... and then check for the
sub directory in there. It might be 2.96 or some other number.
This was all I had to do bar from setting up one or two symbolic
links in the /usr/lib directory
The linking step was looking for libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 but
there was only libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 (which was a sym link
to -3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so). So I created a symbolic link
libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 to this file as well. (I think it was
this one)
Check the log files which ones it is looking for.
save the file. now run the genclntsh script. This builds the
libclntsh.so.9 lib.
Be patient it may take a minute or 2 .
Go back to your Oracle installer and click the retry button. It
should be ok
If this doesn't do it for you. click ignore for every window in
the Oracle installer you get and then exit out of the installer.
run the relink command (relink all) and check which files it is
complaining about. Fix them up in the /usr/lib dirctory
and relink again . If succesfull run the root.sh script as root
and you should be on your way.

IMPORTANT:What Oracle on which Linux works?

After wasting weeks on trying to get OAS 3.20 and 4.07 to work on
RedHat Linux 5.2, I am wondering is there any website listing
confirmations of which versions of Oracle Linux install and work
perfectly on which versions of Linux?
As I can't find one, I've created on out of frustration. (But do
let me know if one exists!)
http://www.coconutfactory.com/oracle/linux/whatworks.html
Please let me know if you have any working installation of Oracle
Software! Linux users deserve to have some sense of feasability
before wasting weeks on installing software which will never run
in a particular configuration. I wish Oracle would post something
like this but of course....
Thanks,

... started.
Logs are generated in directory /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/attila.n3kje
.net_DEV10G/sysman/log
When I try and access it from the client I get the following error message:
"The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation."
What am I doing wrong this time?
Your help would be greatly appreciated

Running oracle database xe (express edition) on windows server 2008 r2

Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?
Database XE is only supported as 32-bit. Current builds of Windows Server 2008 only come in x64 configurations.
Here are the Database XE system requirements for windows:
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm]
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).
See:
- [Wikipedia page about windows server 2008 with info on R2|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_2008#Windows_Server_2008_R2]
- [Wikipedia page on "windows 32-bit on windows 64-bit"|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64]
Thanks,

Hello Matt,
Is it supported to run Oracle Database XE on Windows Server 2008 R2?No.
The docs say that 32-bit windows is required, yet they also say that windows server 2008 is supported.So this means that only 32bit versions of 2008 will be supported.
Windows Server 2008 R2 came out in 2009, and in R2 they eliminated 32-bit OS (though there is the WOW64 subsystem to run 32-bit programs within the 64-bit OS).Which is probably why 2008 R2 is not supported.
You can either take the VM approach and install a 32 bit Windows or 64 bit Linux host, or you can queue in the list of persons waiting for a 64 bit Windows release. See the following thread for details (and the queue) for the latter: {thread:id=2277728}
