    post installation tasks to be performedPost-Installation
    You will need to be root to perform these many of these post-installation steps, except where otherwise indicated.

    Add user(s) to the dba group
    Remember that the oracle user should only be used to install Oracle and to startup and shutdown the Oracle processes. It should not be used for database administration or other database use. For this reason you should add at least one other user to the dba group for database administration purposes. Be careful about who you choose to add, as all users in the dba group can login to Oracle as the internal user without needed to specify a password.

    In this example I add the user crunge to the dba group.

    # usermod -G dba crunge

    Automate Database Startup and Shutdown
    Automatic database startup and shutdown is determined in part by the file /etc/oratab. This file lists each ORACLE_SID and its accompanying ORACLE_HOME, along with an indicator as to whether the database can be automatically started up and shutdown.

    Edit /etc/oratab. It should look similar to the following:

    #

    # This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
    # and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating
    # a database.

    # A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
    # the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
    #
    # Entries are of the form:
    # $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
    #
    # The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
    # directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
    # to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
    # "N", be brought up at system boot time.
    #
    # Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
    #
    #
    ORCL:/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6:N

    Change the last character of the last line to be a Y instead of a N.

    Next you will need to create an initscript that will startup and shutdown Oracle when the system changes runlevels. To do this create a file named /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora, and make it look similar to the following:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the ORACLE_HOME
    # from which you wish to execute dbstart and
    # dbshut
    # set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
    # Oracle database in ORA_HOME
    ORA_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.6
    ORA_OWNER=oracle
    if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
    then
    echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
    exit
    fi
    case "$1" in
    'start')

    # Start the Oracle databases:
    # The following command assumes that the oracle login will not prompt the
    # user for any values

    su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
    ;;
    'stop')

    # Stop the Oracle databases:
    # The following command assumes that the oracle login will not prompt the
    # user for any values

    su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
    su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
    ;;
    esac

    After creating the file, give it the appropriate execute permissions as follows:

    # chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora

    Now create symlinks to dbora for the various runlevels by issuing the following commands:

    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K10dbora
    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K10dbora
    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S98dbora
    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S98dbora
    # ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S98dbora

    That's it. The next time the system starts up or shuts down (or changes runlevels) Oracle will startup and shutdown accordingly.

    Set Environment Variables
    There are a few changes you need to make to the oracle user's environment variables. As the oracle user, edit the ~/.oracle816 file and make it look similar to this:

    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6
    ORACLE_SID=ORCL
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    ORAENV_ASK=NO
    export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORAENV_ASK
    . /usr/local/bin/oraenv

    Other oracle users (e.g., crunge) should create a ~/.oracle816 file that looks like that of the oracle user. They should also be sure to call it from their shell's profile script. Instructions for doing this were given earlier, under the Pre-Installation Tasks.

    Net8 Configuration
    As root, edit /etc/services and add the line

    listener 1521/tcp # Net8 listener

    This reserves TCP port 1521 for use by the Net8 TNS Listener.

    Fix the dbstart script
    The dbstart script that is called by the initscript to startup the Oracle server processes has a typographical error in it. To fix it, login as the as oracle user end edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart. Go to line 64, which reads as follows:

    /PL\/SQL (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;

    Replace /PL\/SQL with /JServer so that the line looks like the following:

    /JServer (Release|Version)/ {substr($3,1,3) ;

    Starting the Oracle server processes and the TNS Listener
    As root, issue the following command to start the Oracle server processes and the TNS Listener:

    # /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora start
    #

    Use one of the users you modified above to use the Oracle database (e.g., crunge) to verify that the database is operational. Login as that user and issue the following command:

    $ sqlplus scott/tiger

    Your .profile modifications will be effective at relogin time. If you want for current session you need to export the .profile in KShell and source it in C Shell.

    Just a reminder...

    In reply to d_kisore, did you refer the oracle installation manual! which is on line for free or the README. I would suggest that you read the Installation manual, before you proceed with the installation. Pl. don't take it wrong, this is what I do mostly :)

    Hrishy, that was one good job.

    Now, on coming to athanasius question, set your ORACLE_SID to the instance that you want to connect to and then try connecting through the server manager. That should fix. BTW, from when on the linux started to give a C:\. I thought that Bill had bought the linux :D

    Any how guys , please fell free to cuss me :D and continue to post your questions. Hey! I'm still learning ;)

    Sam
    Thanx
