Aloha Dude,

My problem is i have a Oracle Linux 6 OS on a virtual box and i want to install 11g database on it. I want to test the installation of both OL-6 and 11g, but i stumble upon the installation of 11g database. Is this because i used a wrong installation kit of 11g database("Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86") or it is because i miss something during the installation of the said database.

Thanks,

I am using the installation kit that I have downloaded (2 compressed files, which i extracted on windows platform and /copied it to OL 6 via LAN), as you may have noticed, this issue concern on the same OS i have posted last time regarding YUM update which I have manage to update the YUM server and the packages.

Basing on the link you provided earlier, under SETUP... since i am using virtual box, how can i install the packages..or do need to install this packages, are these not included on the update on the packages i mentioned...how can i check if these are present or need to update?

( From Oracle Linux 6 DVD
cd /media/cdrom/Server/Packages
rpm -Uvh binutils-2*x86_64*
rpm -Uvh glibc-2*x86_64* nss-softokn-freebl-3*x86_64*)...

Also the adding of user...

(groupadd -g 501 oinstall
groupadd -g 502 dba
groupadd -g 503 oper
groupadd -g 504 asmadmin
groupadd -g 506 asmdba
groupadd -g 505 asmoper

useradd -u 502 -g oinstall -G dba,asmdba,oper oracle
passwd oracle
)

This will be run on the terminal?

Thanks for the time spent and sorry for the hustle...

Thanks for your time man. :)

Hi Dude,

One question... i did all the procedure on the link regarding 11g installation on Linux and im on the part now which i have run ./runInstaller on the terminal but im having this error..

[root@ol6 database]# ./runInstaller
./runInstaller: line 135: [: too many arguments
./runInstaller: line 139: /home/oracle/Downloads/Oracle(Linux: No such file or directory

i did extract the installation kit on Linux OS. Im on the directory where the extracted kit is, before running ./runInstaller...
Please enlighten my primitive knowledge on Linux.

Thanks,

Thanks again man...its running.. Great help.

Hi dude,

I did manage to install 11gR2 on OL6 but stumble upon some errors/prompts during installation regarding missing packages,

package: gcc-3.4.6
package: elfutils-libelf-devel-0.97
package: glibc-devel-2.3.4
package: glibc-headers-2.3.4
package: gcc-c++-3.4.6

and so on...

on the guide i'm using (http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnOracleLinux6.php), under SETUP, i tried installing packages from OLE6 DVD and the mentioned packages above cant be installed because of some dependencies, that i need to install first. I'm not sure if the required packages are on OLE6 media kit or not. If this is the case that i have missing packages, what best i can do? If the packages are not on the kit, is there a link where i can DL the missing packages?

Thanks in advance.

Hades,

Aloha dude,

Thank you. This time i will try OLE5. :)

after clicking OK i will receive this error;

2. ORA-01017: invalid username/password; log on denied

and after;

3. ORA-01012: not logged on

This prompts appears during the creation on instance. Please refer below for reference.
