Installing Oracle 9i on Linux RH 7.2

[amolik]

I am installing Oracle 9i on RH 7.2 I have extracted the cpio on my machine. I have also installed JDK 1.3 on my machine and formed the link to /user/local/java. Also I have downloaded the file binutils. However I am trying to configure the .bash_profile and I guess the problem is there. I don't know how to set the DISPLAY variable. It is gave me the problem and when I run ./runInstaller nothing is happening. Not even an error message. Can anyone tell me what is the problem? Also Do I have to create the lib, config directories before installation physically. It is not mentioned anywhere in the following links which I referred.

I am pasting my .bash_profile parameters.


if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

U must set DISPLAY env variables in ur .profile

export DISPLAY=box_name:0.0

You'll also have to do the following as root

$ xhost boxname

Cheers

Sorry for the late reply as I was out st.

Tim

I did the following command from $ prompt

$xhost 192.164.22.40

from my oracle user and got the following message

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"

Now what can be reason behind this

I have also set export DISPLAY=box_name:0.0
on my oracle user's .bash_profile still for the first time I got the message when I run the command ./runInstaller

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.(MToolkit.java:43)

at oracle.sysman.oii.oiic.OiicInstaller.main(OiicInstaller.java:423)

Next time when I run the command ./runInstaller then nothing happens It siply come back to $ prompt without even displaying any error message.
What can be the reason

I'll highly appreciate your help in this regard.

as root do xhost +
this will wllow access from any host to your x server

[amolik]

Thanks pando.. The Installer started

One more doubt... While specifying database character set by default it was WE8ISO8859P1. When I clicked help button see whether English is there I was shocked to see that it is not there. Is it correct ? I can't believe it.
Should I set DATABASE CHARACTER SET' to US7ASCII or keep as default the earlier one.

Can I atleast change my database character set after installation ?
