Hi all, I try to give you the description of problem and solutions I tried in brief, still sorry for a long mail.
I was installing oracle 8.1.7 enterprise ed on RedHat Linux 6.2 ( Jun 2k PCQUEST). Installation went smoothly, but when I tried to run a sample program to check the JDBC connectivity, compiled and run from a windows machine on LAN, with JDK1.3 it gave me exception of "java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" blah blah. This is a standard exception. I have searched google for this and got a lot of postings but no solution. The same program runs on my oracle 8.1.6 with RedHat 6.1. Now I am trying to install oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 6.1. But here I came to know that RedHat 6.1 is not a supported platform for 8.1.7. ( ref . http://www.dbspecialists.com/4dbas/presos/oracle817linux.html) all the web pages describing installation of oracle 8.1.7 says they have used redhat Linux 6.2, but it does not seem to be working for me. Now here we have to things, Either I should find out why JDBC 2.0 is not working with RedHat 6.2 orcale 8.1.7 or is it possible to install Oracle8.1.7 on RedHat 6.1 and if yes then how. I have to do all this exercise because neither oracle technet nor I do have oracle 8.1.6 installer. I have gone through lot of documentation available on net including oracle 8 howto etc. Please guide me how should I go further. I am posting this to programmer list because , I know there are a lot of people working on oracle with Linux and have good memories of installing oracle on Linux. -kvs _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
