problems with 10g R2 install on Linux

[deesto]

I've installed 10g Database R2 (and de/re-installed it) on my RHEL4 Linux system several times now, and I have the same errors come up each time that I had with a fresh install. For example, when I try to start the EM console:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole
OC4J Configuration issue. /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_[hostnme]_[sid] not found.

When I try to configure the EM agent:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl config agent
EM Configuration issue. /usr/local/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/[hostnme]_[sid] not found.

When I try to recreate the EM repository:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emca -repos recreate
...
Jul 9, 2007 4:02:59 PM oracle.sysman.emcp.EMReposConfig invoke
SEVERE: Error dropping the repository
Jul 9, 2007 4:02:59 PM oracle.sysman.emcp.EMReposConfig invoke
...

When I try to configure the dbcontrol web port (or any other port):

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emca -reconfig ports -DBCONTROL_HTTP_PORT 1820
...
Jul 9, 2007 3:57:23 PM oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
SEVERE: Database Control is not configured for this database.
...

And another:

$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate

STARTED EMCA at Jul 9, 2007 4:04:23 PM

Enter the following information:
Database SID: oracledb
Listener port number: 1521
Password for SYS user:
Password for DBSNMP user:
Invalid username/password.

I've found and tried to follow steps to alleviate each of these errors, but nothing works. There seems to be something essential wrong, either with the version (I verified the sum of the archive before installing) or with my system with regard to Oracle.

check the logfiles

thanks

check the logfiles

thanks

And thanks to you as well... but what would I check the logfiles for? which log files? The information I've found in the logs so far has not been helpful.

[pando]

Tell us which logs have you checked?

Thanks

[deesto]

All of them! That is: all the logs that are reported by the error messages. install logs, action logs for each utility.

Could you be more specific?
I'm almost certain Pando was expecting something like a list of filenames including full path.

[deesto]

Of course... I didn't want to dump a bunch of long logs without being asked first. As it turns out, the logs are too long to list here, so I have attached them as a TXT file. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more logs:

[PAVB]

Pando asked for a list of log names... not for the actual logs

[deesto]

Some of the logs:

[pando]

havent you see these messages?
