Hello Folks -
I'm trying to install Oracle DB 12cR2 on Linux machine, but getting error in "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant". I checked the logs and seems like issue with emExpressPort value: 5500.
Please see below logs:

I am not sure where is this 5500 value is hardcoded. While configuration I never gave any port manually.
I searched online and one of the solution is to edit /etc/hosts file and include hostname over there. I've done that as well but still same error.
As per suggestions I tried to search if any process is using this port, but couldn't find one. Please see below:
I tried - netstat | grep 5500, but it gives no result.
Also tried ps | grep 5500, but it also didn't give any result.
Please help!
Thanks
