Virtual Box Appliance request! Linux + XE + Apex 4.0

Hello,
Can anyone provide me a Virtual Box image with a complete installation of Oracle XE + Apex 4.0 on Linux OS?
I am trying to set up a testing environment, but I can't get APEX 4.0 to work on an ORACLE XE database installed on Centos 5.5. (all in a Virtual Box image)...
Please...
Regards,
George

I posted my problem on the APEX forum here: Apex 4.0 install on Oracle XE (on Linux) issue!
Actually, I am trying to complete my installation (Centos 5.5 + XE + Apex 4.0) for some weeks now. I ran into different, undocumented problems (I'll share them with you some time) and the last one is just the last drop in an ocean of compatibility problems. I'm sorry I chose Linux as an OS, I'm 5 minutes away from buying a Windows 2003 server license.
Even if I can succesfuly complete my installation, I'm thinking that a repository with the preinstalled VMbox images for learning+testing purposes would make my life a lot easier! I'm trying to migrate my APEX applications to 4.0, but until now I just wasted a lot of time on installing it!
Regards, George

  • Sun ZFS Virtual Box Appliance - Performance question

    Hope this is the right place to ask this question - apologies if it is not.
    We are testing out the Sun ZFS storage using the handy Virtual Box Virtual Appliance.
    Now I know this is a VM appliance and as such, we're not going to see anything like real life performance on this thing - but I was wondering if there were any tips someone might share with regards to getting the best performance possible?
    We are using the VB appliance to test a lab based OVM setup - and up to now, performance is too dire to even install a simple VM Guest or upload an ISO to a repository.
    The host specification is 24GB RAM and 8 cores - all of which we have presented to the ZFS appliance - however doesn't seem to make any difference .
    Is performance of the VB appliance throttled?
    We have got OK performance out of the HP P4000 VSA (again not great - but OK for lab testing).
    Cheers,
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    You are correct - the simulator is for testing a subset of functionality only. I am unaware if the VM will use more than one processor, but the RAM will help. One item I can also comment on based on experience is that iSCSI offers the best performance for demos. I use iSCSI as opposed to cifs / nfs / ftp etc. Looking at DTrace, I get much better performance - but I am running a system with only 2 disks, so even that might top out on your server. Perhaps a remote demo with the Oracle Solution Center?

  • Is there a Virtual Box Appliance available with OWB 11gR2?

    Does anyone know if such a thing is available (like the Developer Days appliance, but set up for DW)? Thanks.

    I had lots of trouble too, but finally got it to work. It's crazy that someone at OTN can't fix this.
    See my July 7 2010 post in this thread.

    howto use shared folders in Linux guests - http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15868
    After installing the Guest Additions, you can use the Shared Folders Functionality. To access them, you have to define at least one in the VM settings. Open the VM Settings and go to Shared Folders. You can define them there. Click on the Add button and browse for a folder you want to share. Make sure that the name of the share doesn't contain any illegal characters like white spaces. Keep the name as simple as possible. In this howto, I will use the name share.
    Now that you have defined a SF, it's time to mount it. Boot the Guest and open a terminal. Create a folder where you will mount it on. E.g. in your home folder. I will use ~/host for the mount point.
    Now mount it with the following command:
    Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view
        sudo mount -t vboxsf share ~/host
    Note that with this, the default mount options are used and all files are owned by root. This can be changed by adding some mount options. Options are passed on with the -o parameter. You can use multiple options with one parameter, seperate the values with a comma. See the man page of mount for more info on which options you can use. The User Manual also notes the options compatible with the Shared Folders. To mount the SF so that you are the owner of the files, use this command:
    Code: Select all   Expand viewCollapse view
        sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/host
    If you want to have it mount automatically upon each boot, put the mount command in /etc/rc.local (Debian based distro's), or whatever script is run at the end of the boot process. The Shared Folders service should mount them automatically, but that doesn't always happen.
    Using /etc/fstab has little effect, because that file is processed before the SF module is loaded and will fail to mount the share. Sometimes, the share does get mounted because the GA check for it when they are loaded upon boot, but it's very flaky, meaning it doesn't work most of the time. You're better of with the first option.

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux Guest Virtual Box OSE problem

    So I am installing my Arch Linux as a Guest in my Ubuntu partition, through Virtual Box OSE (3.2.8). I followed the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest ) but still have an issue:
    sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers xorg gcc make
    sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
    sudo /mnt/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
    But It fails on Shared folders, and cannot recognize X:
    :: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions Kernel Modules [BUSY]
    :: Building the main Guest Additions module [DONE]
    :: Building the shared folder support module [FAIL]
    (Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find otu what went wrong)
    :: Warning: Unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers.
    :: Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components [Done]
    /var/log/vboxadd-install.log states:
    /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9: error: unknown field 'clear_inode' specified in initalizer
    /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:406:9 warning: initalization from incompatible pointer type.
    Which is strange, because as far as I know, clear_inode is part of the linux headers.
    Any idea why this is happening? Do I just need to update VirtualBox to a newer version?

  • Linux password in virtual box

    I have gotten linux running in a virtual box.
    However, it wants as user name/password. I don't know what it is or how to set it up.
    I did not see any opportunity to set up an account when I was installing it.
    I tried various reasonable guess (like my oracle acct), but no luck
    So how do I set this up? Is there some place in 'virtual box' to set up accounts. I'm running on my home machine, so no big need for security ...
    -Traruh
    PS. Is there a better forum for this question?

    The Linux installation typically asks to set a password for the root account during the installation. It also asks to create a non privileged user in the final post installation after the first reboot, provided yo have installed the graphical user interface. It is not possible to tell based on your information what you installed or what you are prompted for. If you are prompted to logon, you can use the username "root" and use the password you set during the installation.
    The root account is a built-in account on all Linux/Unix systems with all privileges. If you have not used Linux before I suggest to search for beginners information and tutorials in Google; there are plenty.
    Virtualbox does not manage any computer accounts. Your Windows login usually has nothing to do with your VM guest OS. If you forgot the root password of your Linux guest OS, you can reset it booting into "single" user mode.

  • Installing Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box

    I'm trying to install Oracle Linux 5.8 on Virtual Box. I have downloaded V31120-01 and burned to the DVD, I think successfully.
    However, when I start the Virtual machine, I get the Opening screen, "Oracle Linux" the little picture of the penguin guy, etc, so I think my DVD is good.
    The screen says, "To install or upgrade in graphical mode, press the <enter> key." So I do.
    Several lines of text flow across the screen, but then the process seems to stop with no prompt on what to do next or any indication that an error has occurred, it just stops.
    The last lines I can see are:
    ACPI: bus type pci registered
    PCI: Using configuration type 1
    ACPI: Interpreter enabled
    ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
    ACPI: No dock devices found

    I'm not sure if it's waiting for some input from me, or if there is a problem, but nothing happens beyond this point until I power down the virtual machine.

    There is no need to burn a DVD because Virtualbox can directly mount and boot from the .iso image you downloaded. It is usually a good idea to check the md5 checksum of your download with the number provided by the download page to verify your download is not corrupted. There are no problems installing any version of Oracle Linux under Virtualbox provided you have the right hardware. I suggest to check the Virtualbox documentation.
    Note: This is not a Virtualbox forum.

  • UEK R2 and Virtual Box Linux additions

    Hello
    thanks for the support from Avi Miller I was able to install the UEK R2 on OL 6.2 VM.
    It all worked well but the Virtual Box 4.1.10 Linux Guest Additions stopped working properly after UEK R2 was installed and the VM rebooted (screen resolution to be exact).
    So I simply re-installed VB Linux guest additions after the UEK R2 was installed, for the second time.
    It seemed to work OK even though I did receive a UEK related warning message during VB Linux Guest additions installation .....
    Once I rebooted after VB Guest Additions were re-installed it seems to be working again.
    I am just curious if there is a recommended order procedure re installing UEK R2 inside a VB 4.1.10 VM guest ?
    Should I rebuild the VM from stratch and first install UEK R2 before installing VB Linux Guest Additions and then install VB Linux Guest Additions after UEK R2 is updated?
    Does the installation order matter?
    I am concerned that VB Linux Guest additions somehow corrupts parts of UEK R2 since it's not aware of UEK R2 existance?
    Perhaps there wiill be a new release of the VB Linux Guest Additions for Oracle Linux 64-bit that is compatible with UEK R2 ?
    many thanks!

    thanks!
    In this case I think I have done the right thing "by accident"! 8^)
    Here is what I have done: (note the warning message re kernel headers not found.....)
    [root@YURIOL62 init.d]# ./vboxadd setup
    Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [  OK  ]
    Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [  OK  ]
    Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules
    The headers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following
    module compilation fails then this could be the reason.
    The missing package can be probably installed with
    yum install kernel-uek-devel-2.6.39-100.5.1.el6uek.x86_64
    Building the main Guest Additions module [  OK  ]
    Building the shared folder support module [  OK  ]
    Building the OpenGL support module [  OK  ]
    Doing non-kernel setup of the Guest Additions [  OK  ]
    You should restart your guest to make sure the new modules are actually used
    I hope this is all OK.
    My next step is to install Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3 (i.e. Grid+ASM+RDBMS) based on the new UEK R2 and new oracle validated replacement rpm on OL 6.2....

    Hi,
    Before discussing the network configuration of Oracle Linux 7 (By the way; it seams correct), lets talk about the VirtualBox network configuration, So the Network adapter of your VM can be attached to {NAT, Bridged Adapter, Internal Network, Host-only Adapter, ...}, what is the Adapter attached to your NIC?
    Make sure the Network Adapter is the same as the your other VM (OL 5.8).
    Best regards

  • Installation of linux on Virtual Box

    Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for the help.
    I have installed Virtual Box on my computer, no I need to install Linux and then on Linux I need oracle. I am doping this all because I want to become a DBA and unfortunately I do not have a lot of money to pay to the Training Centers. I recently downloaded and installed Linux Mint v14. Later my friend said this version of Linux does not support Oracle. Can any-you of you please let me know, what I need to download from http://www.centos.org/?

    What does this have to do with java?
    And why do you think you need linux to learn Oracle?

    First step is install Virtual box from here:  https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads   This went ok andvirtual box runs but there are no VM's.
    There is then a script to install the windows VM's.  It is failing.
    Script is accessed by copyinf this command into terminal:

    Here is how I install mine, for numbers I will assume you have a 100GB HDD and 2GB of RAM:
    Boot from Win7 DVD and create two partitions, then install Windows7 on one of them. During the install Windows will create a 3rd partition to boot from. You will now have:
    sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - boot flag
    sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
    sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
    Next boot into Arch and choose to manually partition the drives using cfdisk, using the unfinished space create 3 logical partitions of the sizes 100MB, 2GB, and 50GB. Mark the 100MB one you just created with a boot flag and unmark the 100MB one Windows created.
    Now you should have:
    sda1 - 100MB - Windows Boot - no flags
    sda2 - 50GB - Windows 7 - no flags
    sda3 - 50GB - Unpartitioned Space - no flags
    sda5 - 100MB - Linux Boot - boot flag
    sda6 - 2GB - Linux Swap - no flags
    sda7 - 50GB - Arch - no flags
    Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to the next step - File Systems and Mountpoints.
    Here you need to set the FS for sda5,6,7 and make sure not to touch sda1,2. Choose ext2 for sda5, swap for sda6, and ext3 for sda7. You will also be asked for mountpoints. Pick "/boot" for sda5 and "/" for sda7. Click OK/Confirm/Write and then continue to install Arch like normal, when you get to installing the bootloader make sure to install it on /dev/sda and uncomment the Windows part of the grub/menu.lst file.
    Reboot the system and you are done

  • Installing ArchLinx+Guest Additions in Virtual Box(error during guest)

    The Arch Linux install seemed to go through smoothly.  I installed it using the wiki page, rebooted, and logged in as root.  I am installing this for a class, so trying to follow the instructions to do so.  Next, we are supposed to install 'Guest Additions' for Virtual box using the instructions below:
    Now, you should install "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Guest additions allows you to share files between host and guest systems. This is very convenient for development as you will need to copy files back and forth between the host and guest operating systems. You can download Guest Additions at *link*.
         You need to start the virtual machine before you can continue installing Guest Additions. To do that, just select your VM name from the list on the left hand side in VirtualBox and click Start. After logging into Arch Linux, you should mount this ISO image just as you had mounted the Arch Linux ISO file. You can then mount the cdrom inside the Guest OS by doing:
    mkdir /mnt/cdrom
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
    Now install the guest additions by doing:
    cd /mnt/cdrom
    sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
    This will compile and install the kernel modules necessary for Guest Additions functionality. Please note that if you
    recompile your own kernel (later as a part of project requirements), you will have to run this again so that the modules are
    compiled and installed for the new kernel too.
    Under settings for VBox, I mounted the Guest Additions image file, started Arch Linux, logged in as root, and followed the instructions above.  I was able to do all of the above, but when I excute the last line, I am given this message:
    http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3971/linuxd.png
    I have no idea where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also,  I feel like I have installed Arch Linux incorrectly.  All the videos and pictures I see show a GUI type interface, but all I am presented with is a text-based interface.  When I boot it up, it asks me to log in, and I am then taken to the command line, but I don't see the same GUI interface everyone else seems to have.  Is this normal for a basic Arch Linux install?  Thanks in advance.

    Arch has no GUI until you install one. Some people don't want a GUI, so it's left to the user. The base install has only a command line interface.
    You should probably read the Beginners Guide.
    In case you missed them, there's two short articles, also on the wiki that might help you understand Arch, Arch Linux and The Arch Way
