I not too long ago upgraded my Linux set up to the most recent OpenSuSe 11.2 launch after which determined to put in additionally the free model of the Oracle database (Oracle-XE or Oracle Express) ..
The set up of Oracle consists of the next major steps:
a) Download Oracle from the Oracle web site
The web site incorporates totally different obtain recordsdata for Windows and a few variations of Linux. Since the bundle administration in OpenSuSe Linux relies on rpm, I downloaded an rpm file.
b) Log in in your system as a root person
c) set up the rpm file with the command
rpm -ivh oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
d) execute the preliminary configuration of the database by working the command:
/and so forth/init.d/oracle-xe configure
The command will ask you to decide on the HTTP port, the listener port, the Sys and System password and I recommend to maintain the instructed default values ??(ie HTTP port = 8080 and listener port = 1521), The system will even ask if you wish to begin the database routinely at boot time (I select the sure reply).
e) After the configuration the system routinely begins the Net Listener and the Oracle database 10G Express. It prints a completion message that the Installation accomplished efficiently after which suggests to entry the database Home web page by coming into in your browser the command
127.0.0.1:8080/apex
f) I did as instructed, however the command was refused as a result of it couldn’t be executed on the server. At the purpose I began panicking and I believed that I should have made some errors. I made a decision to uninstall Oracle by working the command
rpm -e oracle-xe-univ
Then I re-installed from scratch. Unfortunately the outcomes had been precisely the identical.
g) Finally I stunned if the issue is perhaps linked to the Web server. I made a decision to put in Apache (not put in by default) and to re-install Oracle once more. This time all the things labored completely.
I discovered on varied Linux Forums that many individuals appear to have this downside and I recommend them to attempt an set up of Apache earlier than putting in Oracle.
