Installation log file + DBCA PB

Hello,

Basically, I made sure that the Red Hat package:
jdk-1.3.1.09.i586.RPM was installed on my Red Hat Linux Server on a folder CD_ROM_RDPMS.

Let me mention that during the installation, at the Configuration Assistants under the OUI, I did have problems with the following assistants:
-----
1) Agent Configuration Assistant
(Parameter orahome=/home/oracle...
nodeinfo = NO_VALUE)
(Cancelled)

2) Starting HTTP Server
(Error Resolving hostname: localhost)
-----
Are these problems related to the issue I have with the DBCA ?
Is there a Metalink about these installation problems ?

Don't worry about this right now...

Hello Jeff,

Here is the result of the command you had asked earlier:

1) ls -lg oracle
-rwsr-s--x 1 oinstall 47881634 Aug 23 09:25 oracle 1


Hope this helps.

I have a feeling you don't know how to follow directions.

just curious:
is there a version of ULTRAVNC for Internet?

To make life much easier for PTREVES, let him/her install an ULTRAVNC(or other such kind of software), and let Jeff do the work remotely.
:D

Just kiding anyway.:D :D

Sure, no problem. With him I'd get $350 an hour...

Thread split. See http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/sho...threadid=44381 for continuation of linux thread.

Hello Jeff / everyone,

Considering all the issues I am facing at this point, I have decided to upgrade my Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3 server to ES (Enterprise Edition) and reinstall Oracle9i. This is the version certified with Oracle.

I will follow the installation procedure to the letter and take all your comments and feedback to to heart.

I should attempt another reinstallation tomorrow or so.
Wish me luck !!!

PT

PS: All the networking issues with the listener.ora/tnsnames.ora and the host command should still come-up with the upgraded Linux server, since it is still the same box ??

Hello everyone,

Before, I upgrade to ES, I tried playing around and creating a manual DB such as follows, and I got strange error messages :
-----

maxlogmembers 2

ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

The first attempt, I got these error:

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.4/oradata/test/system01.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional Information: 3

The second time, I got these erros : (what is a dbs1@dbf file ?)

===== (no datafiles specified)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '?/dbs/[email protected]'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

PS: I was thinking that I could create a test DB manually and maybe do an DB import afterwards.
