WebDB 2.2/RedHat 6.1. For God's sake why doesn't Oracle release some documentation??

Someone please tell me how to get past the
"Enter your Oracle database SYS user password and a TNS names alias" page. My password doesn't show up as ****'s or spaces. Do I have termcap problem here? I've tried different term types and none of the obvious ones help.
I enter change_on_install for the password and "oracle" (my SID) for the TNSNAMES alias. But I always get a "You entered an incorrect system password or an incorrect TNS names alias" error message. Which is it? Why doesn't it just say "Oracle doesn't work". Or "What you entered doesn't compute". Or "You f%$^ing dumb ass, don't you f$%^ing know anything about Oracle, you should have entered something else". These messages are equally as useful as the current response. Do I need to create a new TNS names alias? If so why? And where is the documentation on this?
I'm guessing that because Oracle released Webdb on Linux it does actually work and that someone, somewhere got it to work. Otherwise Oracle is no better than Microsucks in their support effort ("Well it works on my system, you must be doing something wrong").
Thanks for any help. I'd really like to use WebDB but if I have to spend any more than 2 days just to get it installed I might as well revert to Winblows NT and self installing, self configuring ZIP files or jump of the Brooklyn bridge and I'd rather do the later.

I am a Product Manager for WebDB and I am concerned that you are having such a problematic experience.
Below I have pasted an installation note that is available on MetaLink, this should walk you through the process.
The reason your TNS connection is failing is because WebDB does not know where to connect to. WebDB uses 8.0.5 binaries and therefore cannot use the tnsnames.ora file in the 8i Oracle home. To get it to work you need to do one of two things, either copy the tnsnames.ora file from your 8i home to the new WebDB home you're about to create. Or create yourself an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN that points to [8i home/network/admin]
Don't worry about not seeing asterisks as we don't display any, this is a 'feature' of the character based installer that we use.
With WebDB 3.0 we will not have this problem as we are using 8i binaries and libraries and we will install using the Oracle Universal Installer, not a character mode one.
Hope this helps.
PURPOSE
This document provides detailed installation notes for WebDB 2.2.0.0.4. It is
focused on installing WebDB for an 8.1.5 (8i) database. Since WebDB is based
off of the 8.0.5 binary and library files, it must be installed in a separate
ORACLE_HOME than 8.1.5.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This document is intended to guide you through every step of the WebDB
installation process against 8i to prevent the most common issues.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Create a new directory for the new WebDB ORACLE_HOME separate from the 8.1.5
database ORACLE_HOME.
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
You must ensure that all of the appropriate environment variables are set before
beginning the installation process. Unset any existing ORACLE environment
settings and only set the following:
ORACLE_HOME-->point this to the WebDB home
i.e. setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
SHLIB_PATH-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv SHLIB_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
LIBPATH (for AIX ONLY)-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/lib as well where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib/
PATH-->append the following $ORACLE_HOME/bin/ where $ORACLE_HOME is the
WebDB home
i.e. setenv PATH $ORACLE_HOME/bin/:$PATH
TNS_ADMIN-->point this to the database home/network/admin directory.
i.e. setenv TNS_ADMIN /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin
WV_GATEWAY_CFG-->point this to the $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app where
$ORACLE_HOME is the WebDB home
i.e. setenv WV_GATEWAY_CFG $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app
BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
From the unix prompt, cd to the staging area for your WebDB Media and go to the
orainst director.
i.e. cd /SD_CDROM/orainst/
Run the orainst for the Oracle Installer to begin.
i.e. ./orainst
1.)'Oracle WebDB 2.1 Installation Requirements' Select OK.
2.)'Environment Variable'
ORACLE_BASE - this should be set already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/
ORACLE_HOME - this should be set to the WeBDB home already
i.e. /u01/app/oracle/product/webdb/
Select OK.
3.)'Relink All Executables?' Select NO.
4.)'Software Asset Manager' - select Oracle WebDB 2.2.0.0.4 and Oracle WebDB
Listener 2.2.0.0.4. Select INSTALL.
5.)'WebDB Listener'
Hostname --> provide the fully qualified host.domain as registered with DNS
i.e. iprodhp2.us.oracle.com
Data Access --> You can name your database access descriptor anything you
would like but it is best if you take the default which is 'WebDB'
WebDB Schema --> This is the schema that all WebDB packages will be installed
under. It is recommended that you again take the default which is 'WEBDB'
Listener Port -- > Ensure that you choose a port that is not already in use.
Port 80 is the default http port. This port number can always be changed
later when you start the WebDB listener.
Select OK.
6.)'Choose the Database' - Select Oracle 8i and Select OK.
7.)Please provide the appropriate sys password and the TNSNAMES alias used to
connect to the 8.1.5 database.
8.)'WEBDB' --> Select the tablespaces you would like to install into.
Installation = WEBDB
Default = <USERS>
Temporary = <TEMP>
Document = <USERS>
Select OK.
9.)WebDB initial password is webdb --> Select OK.
10.)'Choose Language' --> English is automatically installed but you may choose
any additional languages. Select OK.
11.)Installation of the WebDB schema may take a while. You may think your
installer is hanging but in fact it is just installing a lot of information.
Depending on your machine's resources, the average time to complete this
task is usually around 45 minutes to 1 hour.
12.)'WebDB Install Complete' --> Select OK.
13.)It will then install support files.
14.)'WebDB Listener Successfull' Select OK.
15.)Exit Software Asset Manager
Go to the unix prompt to start the listener:
wdbstart host.domain port&WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you would like the listener to start on
i.e. wdbstart iprodhp2.us.oracle.com 22004&
CONFIGURING THE LISTENER
Go the following URL: http://host.domain:port/admin_/gateway.htm
WHERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/admin_/gateway.htm
Verify that your connect string is correct on the gateway.htm page. This should
be the alias registered in your TNSNAMES.ORA file. Then click Apply. It is
not neccessary to restart the listener after you make the change.
ACCESSING THE WEBDB HOME PAGE
Go to the following URL: http://host.domain:port/
HERE host.domain is the fully qualified host and domain name with DNS
AND port is the http port you started the listener on
i.e. http://iprodhp2.us.oracle.com:22004/

For God's sake Nokia...PLEASE release the N950!!

This sexy piece of hardware is the right one to replace the Maemo 5 giant, our beloved N900.
I know it,
I know you guys know it as well.
I'm looking at it and say "holy **bleep**, this device is thinking!"
N900/N950 enthusiasts, back me up here!

I now work with someone who worked with/under the guy who killed touch screen symbian 5 years ago.. He said no one needed a touch screen device, it was all about phones with buttons..
he then left and worked for palm (a company focused on touch screen technology almost completely) and killed that too with other stupid ideas..
I can't repeat the words I used to describe that man..
Think where we'd be if Nokia had progressed Series90. It is all about touch screens now..
idiot..
I wonder if they might re-release the N950 next year after the launch of the N9.. Though I also understand the N9 might not be launched in the USA or UK..
I love the fact dippy in charge "leaked" the WP7 recently..
Announce WP7 phone this year... world says "meh"
Announce the N9.. world says "what the hell, that looks awesome"
quick better "leak" a WP7
Apparently it's very similar in hardware / design to the N9.. makes you wonder how similar they'll actually be.. maybe it's just an os difference! Interesting thought though.. if the WP7 hardware could be MeeGo compatible..
That would be fairly revolutionary.. one phone hardware, pick an OS!! But it doesn't work well with the deal Nokia made with MS..
Either way, the N950 kind of represents the potential end of the Maemo hacker platform.. The N9, whilst truely awesome, is a finished product.. the N950 with its rough edges appeals to many.. If they made 100,000 units, they'd sell them in a month for sure.. even if they came without warranty / support... the N900 community is used to that!!!

For God's Sake, How Do I Reduce The Endless Lag???

I'm aware that the Classic uses disk medium and not, yknow, flash storage. Prior to my 120GB Classic, I used a 40GB 3rd Gen from 2003 'til now.
For a long time I suffered with a Powerbook with a smaller hard drive than my 120GB iPod, so I was forced to keep all my music on the iPod. I accepted the lag then.
But now I have a Mac capable of anything, and am ready to start removing music off my iPod. But in my googling, it seems like a lot of people say that removing things off your iPod and cutting down on space usage hasn't helped the lag for them at all.
It has 103GB full, music only, no video, and unless I fix the lag, it will probably be the death of me, because trying to change songs in a car is an aggravating and near-suicidal endeavor, because of how rarely the scrollwheel deems to respond, or clicking too many menus ahead because I've waited a while and come to the assumption that my previous click didn't register.
I'm willing to cut back large amounts of gigs, I just want to know if it will noticeably help.

Ignore the self-righteous replies ... now how about some help?
Is your Classic's firmware up to date? There have been some improvements to responsiveness compared to initial releases.
Is your Classic's click wheel covered by a skin? I had to surgically remove the thin silicone skin over the wheel and got much better response.
Do you use a lot of smart playlists, especially ones that depend on the contents of other playlists? That can bog things down, especially if you have a lot (say, 75 or more). I did get some improvement with the last firmware release, but the key seems to be to limit your use of multi-cascaded playlists.

For God's Sake Skype

So, I changed my password because Skype was being weird and not letting me sign in. I chose a very similar password as a temporary one, but now I keep getting "Your password can be stronger, we believe in you! " every time I try to change it back to the original one. This makes no sense and annoys the hell out of me.

thanks for the answer, but in the meanwhile (and windows mobile 10 is not for tomorrow!), Skype is almost useless. I edit a contact number in people's hub, and expect to see the change in Skype so that I can use skype to call.But no, skype app still shows the old number.It used to be better, so I suppose a severe bug behind!Or what do I do wrong? EDIT: got it: need to refresh my hotmail inbox in WP to force a sync of people's hub.And then to close completly Skype, wait a few secon and sign in again.It see now the edited number in Skype. Should be much smoother.I now change the settings of my microsoft account on Windows Phone from "based to my usage" to "as items arrives", it might help...

For god's sake when is the ipad going to be compatible with adobe fash!?

I am simply repeating my question. Can it ever be answered? Will the great mystery of the world be solved?

Probably never as Apple don't want it (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/) and Adobe have never been able to make a version of flash player that works on iOS (even when Apple helped them for a couple of years or so).
If you want to access flash-based content then browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store and there is the built-in YouTube app.

FOR GOD'S SAKE WOULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!!!!!!

How does ANYONE record their guitar through ios Garageband considering all the latency??? I'm trying to just demo stuff using the Apogee Jam with the latest garageband using smart drums and it WILL NOT line up. There is latency. How is ANYONE using this?? I'm INCREDIBLY frustrated with this.

Are you monitoring through the internal speaker, the headphone jack, or something plugged into the dock connector?
I found that the latency on the head phone jack is really high compared to the internal speaker (which is good latency wise, bad frequency response wise). I don't have a dock based output to check.

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID email and its all verified ok but on my iPhone 5 every time I go to update an App or buy an App it comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for a password. Why doesn't it have my new ID because on Apple ID link it does?

I've changed my Apple ID password and when I go to the Apple ID link the changes have been emailed and are all verified. However, when I try to do something with an App or iTunes etc on my iPhone 5 it still comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for the password and I don't have the option to overtyped the Sppld ID section with the new email I've set. I can't update Apps or buy Apps because of this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

Updated to Flash 10 for OSX10.4 but it doesn't work on some websites

I'm using Firefox but it happens in Safari as well. Some websites are OK. But others with flash appear blank or on myspace the music says i need to update my flash player. I have the newest flash player. I went to the check if flash installed correctly and i see the animation and all is fine. But some websites with flash don't seem to work.
Is there an easy fix somehow? Why do some work and others left blank?

there must be a solution. come on guys... i uninstalled using the adobe uninstaller and reinstalled but still no good. works for some websites, doesn't work for others

Why doesn't each 'page's info' adhere to the settings for the plug-ins?

When I check my plugins, add ons, for updates, there are option blocks on the right that set whether or not to "Always Activate" or "Always Ask". My question is- -for every page that opens, there is a "page info" option we can check to see/check what is allowed or blocked under Permissions ... And* what the Permission 'settings' ARE for That* page. Why doesn't EVERY page display the Permissions' settings that we have Already set on the Plugins screen*(?). EVERY page has to have the permissions re-done for EVERY domain/server/site provider. Why* aren't the settings that are set on the Plugins screen Used* AS the 'Default' for every page/domain/site, etc.? Note*- if I DON'T change the permissions to "allow", for certain plugins, the page will not work*.
Also, the "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.450.18 10.45.2.18" still* shows as "Vulnerable" After* updating (verified update*). So I found the option to 'Disable' this particular plugin. Now it displays at the bottom of the Plugin page, greyed out. However*... after updating to Java "SE7 U45" (..for 1 [One*] day ONLY, it showed as Up-to-Date, NOT vulnerable, on every 'page info' screen*) ... and Actually, it Still Does show as Up-To-Date after an Update check*..(??)... But on EVERY page info screen the "Java(TM) Platform SE7 U--Vulnerable Plugin!" is displayed (?). How can it be Up-To-Date and OK on the plugin check screen, but show as a "Vulnerable Plugin" on EVERY 'Page Info' screen?

Sorry, RamboTrader ... I Thought I was replying to another guy that had made a suggestion to me*.. (MY bad*) ...
... But I'll try to answer some of your questions ...
1- usually, "yes"* just make sure you Trust that site (if you have anti-virus, anti-malware, etc, and run a scan every week (or so) and Haven't come up with anything quarantined or removed yet, you''re probably safe there*
2- sorry, "yes", there's Always a real danger... that's why we have the anti-everything we have (right?)
3- depends on the site*. A Lot of sites don't need java at all (except to run their ads or commercials... 'targeted' or not). Adobe Flash or Shockwave should be able to handle stuff like youtube, etc (but if it doesn't*, just go into the 'Page Info' Permissions* and Allow the [Vulnerable] Java and see if that fixes it). It more than likely will.
I think it's just a matter of Time* before Adobe* Flash, and practically Every other video app/player may be marked as "vulnerable"... like Java... because every one of them CAN carry a virus or trojan to us in some imbedded format. If JAVA couldn't find a way to stop them* (hackers, etc*) they either ..1-aren't smart enough, or 2-just gave up trying to stay ahead of them... (like the 'ad' says, some-unGodly-percentage-of-machines use Java already ... so They are making Their money*... what more do they need to do, really..?). They don't care* about us or our stuff, as long as we Buy More.... but I'm a bit jaded*.

Hi,
Try these 3 solutions
1. Did you start vncserver services as:
service vncserver start
2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
# nc -vz localhost 5901
You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
3. service iptables stop
Hope This Helps

I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature. Why is that?

As I stated above, "I have to pay for something that was not my fault, nor Verizon's fault, but is an act of God/nature. Why is that?" I had a hard time keeping my phone charged at one time, so I called/visited my local retailer of Verizon, and they ordered me a new battery (first step after cleaning my phone. Not like it was dirty anyways). Got a new battery, put it in, still same problem. Would not charge...boo! So, I bring it back, and they order me a replacement phone, since it "is still under warranty, and insured". When I first brought my phone in, the young lady said, "That is why it is not charging; it was the charger port, that is why it was not charging. It is as loose as a goose" So, that is why she ordered me a new one.
So, get the new phone, put "new battery" back in. All is good, all of what, 2 maybe 3 weeks later. Now it is doing the same thing again. Checked the charging port, it is fine. Bring it in, to the store, and questioned the young man behind the desk, and find out why I was charged the $299.95(+taxes & s/h). He said, "it was because the old phone was because there was "corrosion" around the port." Of course, there was not a single note of it being loose. He continued, and said it was because it was there had to be a time where you spilled something on it, even if it was a drop of any kind of liquid. Or, you/ or someone else, had it in the shower with them." (Really, a drop of liquid, or taking the phone with me in the shower?) How I could I get a "drop" of liquid in it, if I had an Otter-box on it, or why would I take it in the shower with me? I admit, I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but, really? Come on now!
Since, I have to now pay for it, I am kind ‘a wondering if anyone else has, or had the same problem with their phone (s). My wife has the same phone and she has not had this same problem. Makes me wonder. Since, my phone is doing this again, if it is something that I am doing wrong with it or not. So, now they have ordered me a new battery, and we will see if this will be a new fix, or "good bye to Verizon." Any comments, or suggestions, please email wife and me, and let me know. Thanks and God bless.

Don't really see how this would be an act of God/nature.
Regardless, are you saying Verizon should have to pay for those, though?

For God sakes all I want is a phone number to talk to someone!

Load Balancing for Oracle Release 11i

Hi there,
I am trying to find some recommendations on the need for load balancing in the middle tier for a 3 tier Oracle Release 11i implementation. Here are the questions that I have.
1. Is load balancing very common for a 11i implementation ?
2. What are the probable issues that one might encounter if there is no load balancing ?
3. If there is load balancing how many servers are generally used for the same ?
4. Do we only install Forms server on multiple servers or we install WebDB and Apache on all the servers ?
5. Is it true that Web servers are the most likely to be down and thus mandating the use of load balancing ? If that is true, would it be prudent to install Web Server and Form Server on each server m/c and in the process having redundant servers ?
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
- Raj

I'm in the middle of doing this right now. There is a doc on metalink (233428.1) that details the process. I would highly recommend trying this in dev/test env first. Even though the instructions are very straight forward and not very complicated, I'm still having configuration issues.
