Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 9
Pages: 1, 2
Running the Installer
To install 9iR2 on Linux, Oracle recommends at least 512MB of RAM and at least 400MB of swap space. If you have less then 512MB of RAM and upgrading is not an option, you can resize your swap partition or create temporary swapping space. The later is a much more convenient option, as you will be needing this space only during the installation.
To set up a temporary Linux swap area, execute these lines as root:
% dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp_swap bs=1k count=900000
% chmod 600 tmp_swap
% mkswap tmp_swap
% swapon tmp_swapAfter you finish installing, you can free this space:
% swapoff tmp_swap
% rm tmp_swapNow that you have all the major obstacles out of the way, you can run
the installer. Please remember that the Oracle installer
must be run from X. You will need to allow the local
oracle user to write to your X display:
$ xhost +127.0.0.1Do not change to your CD-ROM mount directory (e.g., /mnt/cdrom), because you will not be able to unmount the first CD to insert others when asked. Start the installer from your home directory using:
$ su - oracle
$ /mnt/cdrom/install/linux/runInstallerInstallation
We will not describe the installation process in detail, as Oracle provides
extensive documentation on that subject and it is way beyond the scope of this
article. It is pretty much self-explanatory, but if you run into trouble,
there's always a help button to assist you. If you need more help, check the
docs directory on the Oracle CDs, the online Oracle Documentation, or Oracle Linux Center. During the installation, Oracle will ask you to insert other disks. When asked, open up a new console, unmount the current disk with umount /dev/cdrom (as root) and replace the disk. If Red Hat 9 does not mount
it automagically, mount it yourself with mount /dev/cdrom and
choose to continue with the installation wizard.
As you go along, your installation may produce three different errors:
You may see an error dialog informing about problems with ins_oemagent.mk. Ignore this one; we will fix it in post installation.
Figure 1. ins_oemagent.mk errorsA dialog may inform you about an Error in invoking target install of makefile
$ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk.
Figure 2.makefileerrorWhen this happens, open up a new X terminal and log in as the
oracleuser. Execute the following commands:[oracle@miniroko oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install [oracle@miniroko install]$ tail make.logYou will see a line like this:
gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/ /opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut -lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9
Figure 3. The make.logCopy this line, add
-ldlat the end, and run it in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.[oracle@miniroko]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin [oracle@miniroko bin]$ gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/ /opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut -lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9 -ldlNow you have fixed the problem, so hit the ignore button on the dialog and the installation will continue.
- The installation may inform you that agent failed to start. Choose ignore on this one; we will also fix it in post installation.
Do not create a database at the end of the installation.
Not all things are operational at this point, and we still need to
perform some minor fixes. Click on Software only and continue. Don't
worry, you will be able to create your database later using dbca,
the Oracle database configuration assistant.
Figure 4. Do not create a database
Post-Installation
Let's fix the issues Oracle had with ins_ctx.mk and starting
the agent. Open a new terminal and log in as the oracle user.
Execute these lines:
[oracle@miniroko oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
[oracle@miniroko lib]$ make -f ins_net_client.mk installNow edit the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk file. Change lines 13-14 from:
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)to
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)You are now ready to retry making:
[oracle@miniroko lib]$ make -f $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk install Voila, you now have a fully working installation of Oracle 9iR2 database
server. If you wish, you can now create your Oracle database using
dbca.
Starting and Stopping the Database
svrmgrl is no longer supported by Oracle, so use
sqlplus for startup and shutdown operations. To start the
server:

and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut, as they do not always work as
advertised and require some changes.
Conclusion
You now have a fully featured Oracle installation on your computer. Please remember that Oracle 9.2 is not certified for Red Hat 9, and that this combination is not endorsed in production and deployment environments. As a workstation, however, it is perfectly stable and usable.

2004-06-04 13:05:53 Scrapper [Reply | View]
I've followed these instructions and they worked great for me!
However, I think I found two missing elements. What about the Oracle Apache and Java considerations?
Also, the link to the Red Hat Oracle manual dowsn't go there. It goes to the virtual file system manual.

Hi,
I am Trying Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux Red Hat 9

Things went fine during installtion as i proceed as per puschitz's instructions
However at the i faced some problem.
and i badly seek your advice and help on that
Below is list of activities i done for this..

Then
Database Creation complete successful

Network Services Successful
Then Error2 (unresolved)
the attemp to create a database for the enterprise manager repository failed, because:

Then Error4 (unresolved)
Then Tried lsnrctl

Now try to run lsnrctl start as oracle again.
But i do not have /var
What tyo do here?
Here i am stuck up, i struggled a lot last few days.
success seems closer but how to get it.
Here again i need your advice
puschitz.com asks for patches for RH As not for RH. so how to proceed are any patches required for RH 9 also or same as RH AS.
if yes can you help me in getting URL, i am trying at home, no metalink registration available.
Thanks in advance

problems with LSSV

Hi,
Great install guide - saved my life
I had another couple of problems installing on red hat 9, and thought I'd share my solutions here.
It came at the end of the install, when the insaller prompts you to run $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh
All progresses nicely until I get an error when it gets to installing the LSSV product:
Starting RPM to install the Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) product.
Form more information, please refer to the Linux installation section
in the LSSV Installation Guide at http://www.legato.com/LSSV
error: Failed dependencies:
libncurses.so.4 is needed by orclclnt-nw_lssv.Build.71-1
which was solved by downloading ncurses4-5.0-11.i386.rpm and installing:

I tried re-running, and then get another error:

Unable to Install 8.1.7 NOT 9i on Redhat 9
2004-02-20 20:23:38 km1 [Reply | View]
I cannot get 8.1.7 installation done on my pc. I downloaded the whole installation file from the oracle 8.1.7 download site under /usr/local/downloads/Oracle8iLinux/ and extracted Disk1 contents under
/usr/local/downloads/Oracle8iLinux/Disk1
and the linux81701.tar is under /usr/local/downloads/Oracle8iLinux/
I did the export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 and I get the message
[oracle@localhost Disk1]$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...
I get a blank gray screen which seems to mean that the jre is trying to load but nothing happens beyond that.
Is there something specific for 8.1.7 which is different for 9i because most docs I see refer to 9i not 8.1.7 and I do need 8.1.7 because thats the database we need to use.
The pc I am trying to install this on has 384MB RAM which is not a lot but I I doubt that that is the cause of the hangup because I have other even more resource intensive software which I have been able to install without problems.
I have tried to install this for a long time and really need to get this going asap. Please help soon.
Thanks

Order of installation
2003-12-11 04:58:51 kebam [Reply | View]
I was wondering if anyone could point me to a source or two where I could understand the general processes of working with Oracle databases. I found your above article invaluable in installing the DBMS. My problem now is the steps needed to create a database and get it talking to the application that needs it.
Do I for example, configure the Enterprise Manager then build the database, then add it to the EM, then configure and build the listener? What order do I need to do things and what tools do I use. I have found dbca, emca under the Linux install and the oemapp console commands. I think I understand that my application needs to be told which listener to use, and this is somehow done with the network configuration tools.
This is all very confusing. I would appreciate any pointers to similar articles as the one above or other sources of information.
Thanks

installer hangs on RH 2.4.20-20.8 upgraded to 2.4.20-20.9
2003-12-08 07:29:47 anonymous2 [Reply | View]
hi Roko-
I am trying to install Oracle 9ir2 on a red hat 9 box. Wanted to see if I could seek your help on a dead end I am running up against.
I downloaded the iso images for 2.4.20-20.8 from RH website and upgraded kernel to 2.4.20-20.9.
I was following the Roko's instructions on O'Reilly and installed the folowing packages from the cds:
gcc-3.2.2-5
cpp-3.2.2-5
glibc-devel-2.3.2-11.9
binutils-2.13.90.0.18-9
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
nss_db-compat-2.2-20.i386.rpm
Roko mentioned that I should install the following precompiled packages from Jason's website (got the i686 packages wherever possible):
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-debug-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-debuginfo-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-debuginfo-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm
glibc-debuginfo-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-profile-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-utils-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
nptl-devel-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm
nscd-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
I was able to install most packages except:
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-utils-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-debug-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-utils-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm AND glibc-debug-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm ARE DEPENDENT ON glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm DEPENDENT ON glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm.
So far so good.
When I try to install glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm it says glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9 required by glibc-2.3.2-11.9 (installed). So I am at a dead end as both those packages are installed.
So finally I tried the runinstaller w/o the 4 packages:
glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-utils-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
glibc-debug-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm
The installer ran but got stuck immmediately at 'Installing Java Runtime Environment' and did not proceed anymore. Would there be any suggestions you might be able to offer on how I need to proceed or do differently.
Would it help to try and install this on the Fedora disto. Would it be essentially similar procedures?
Really your help in pointing me in the right direction. Not a hard core user of Linux yet. Trying to get there.
Thanks a lot and really appreciate your help.

Should this patching be applied only before runIstaller ?

installer hangs on RH 2.4.20-20.8 upgraded to 2.4.20-20.9
2004-07-20 00:38:49 infxdba [Reply | View]
I guess reference regarding Jason's website may be ignored. Through my experience,time consuming successful rpmbuild step won't help any way due to version of glibc: 2.3.2-11.9
If I am wrong about this, please advise.
Mixing i386 and i686 rpms in one upgrade
doesn't look for me as the right way to go,regardless it could be a solution.
The final drawback will be: missing "Intelligent agent" up and running
What will affect Events&Jobs in manually configured OEM console. However, cron facility and shell scripting will be still available :)

I was having the same problem, but it worked when I installed the 4 packages in one command:
rpm -Uvh glibc-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i686.rpm \
glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.oracle.i386.rpm \

Oracle installation problem on dbsnmp
2003-11-13 14:37:55 franklincsng [Reply | View]
I have installed Oracle 9i into RedHat Linux 9 by using the procedures of webpage 'Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 9'. When I start the Oracle Intelligent Agent, I get nothing response, and find the agent cannot be started.
I find the error message in dbsnmp.nohup which is showed below:
/opt/ora9/product/9.2/bin/dbsnmp: error while loading shared libraries: libvppdc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Agent exited at Thu Nov 13 23:20:31 HKT 2003 with return value 127
Agent thrashing. Exiting dbsnmpwd at Thu Nov 13 23:20:31 HKT 2003
I found the library object is existed.
[oracle@localhost lib]$ ll libvpp*
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 552036 Apr 26 2002 libvppdc.so
Someone tell me that dbsnmp is not compiled during installation.
I find that 'collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dbsnmp] Error 1' in $ORACLE_HOME/install/make.log
Can anyone help me to solve the problem? Is that a post-installation step?
Thank you.

Hello,
I figured that I had not set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 properly.
Just check the value once again before you run the Installer. Also try 2.2.5 if 2.4.1 does not work.
I am atleast past that error...

hi ..
you can set this parameter in terminal itself
follow these...
1) login as Oracle
2) set the enviornment variables like OracleHome etc.
3) give this command
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
4) start runInstaller
revert if u face any problems

help can't run the installation
2003-11-06 22:51:28 anonymous2 [Reply | View]
There is an answer for this problem at http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.html
* /runInstaller: line 58: ./runInstaller: cannot execute binary file.
You are probably trying to run a 64-bit Oracle version on a 32-bit Linux system. Make sure you downloaded the right Oracle version for your Linux system.
To check if runInstaller is a 32-bit binary or a 64-bit binary, run the following command:
$ cd /mnt/cdrom
$ file install/linux/runInstaller
install/linux/runInstaller: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
To check if your Linux system is 32-bit system or a 64-bit system, run e.g. the following command:
$ file /sbin/init
/sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

getting oracle & RH 9 to work with PHP
2003-10-24 00:31:05 netnerdau [Reply | View]
I've been having trouble getting the RPM installation of php to work with oracle once its installed. i can connect with sqlplus to my database (remote AIX box) but can't get it to work with PHP. I dont really want to have to re-compile PHP to get it working with oracle, as i like using up2date for patching things.
php has an ODBC extension with redhat, does anyone know how to get this to work with oracle?

getting oracle & RH 9 to work with PHP
2004-01-06 07:42:12 jmcintosh [Reply | View]
There's some open source Oracle ODBC drivers that I've gotten to work with Oracle. Look here:
http://fndapl.fnal.gov/~dbox/oracle/odbc/
The only trick is make sure your tnsnames.ora file and your /etc/odbc.ini file are in conjunction.

after placing new values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file you can just run the following command to read the file again:
sysctl -p
instead of rebooting or echoing to the /proc system manually.

I installed the libraries mentioned in this article. However, the installer JVM would not start without libraries provided by compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118. To be sure, I installed the devel package as well.

A startup script - WORKS - on one condition
2003-09-30 20:19:32 anonymous2 [Reply | View]
The startup script listed at:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Oracle-9i-RH8-and-RH9-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.2
works, provided that you hard- or soft-link a new entry:
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/init${ORACLE_SID}.ora
to the existing file:
${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/spfile${ORACLE_SID}.ora
It looks like Oracle has chosen to use "spfile.ora" as the replacement for old "init.ora". Strangely, the script works find with ye old "init.ora" files.

"If your system contains a non-empty /lib/i686 directory, fetch the i686 packages. Otherwise, you may run into trouble with misplaced libraries."
This sentence is misplaced in the article, it should be in the "Important notice" box on the right. The comment about i686 actually applies to Jason McIntosh's libraries.

At this point run as oracle:
make -f ORACLE_HOME/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk install
This time you will be succeed due patched rpms installed.
Then grap from $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh all commands required
to install right permissions for dbsnmp and dependent directories and
run them as root.
Next steps:
$agentctl start
$oemctl start oms
You are ready to run OEM console.
