Re: Oracle 8i on Linux (8.1.6 on RH7) - install help

2001-07-11 Thread Peter McLarty

Have you adjusted the kernel parameters It seems to be Linux's sticking point.

Although you have sufficient RAM etc either it isn't being fully utilized 
or you are running out of processes, semaphores or some such.
There is a very good document that someone has posted a link to on 
installing on Linux in the past
I think that there is a HOWTO on installing Oracle on Linux now.

Oracle 8i on Linux (8.1.6 on RH7) - install help

2001-07-10 Thread JDonson

RedHat 7.0 Running
Oracle for Linux 8.1.6 - INSTALLATION HELP NEEDED!

I am s close...

Despite good install, including Net8, the sample db install hung at 80% completed.

Now I am trying to startup nomount
and create a dbase manually.
I cannot STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=

svrmgrl can connect internal,
but just hangs on startup nomount

I wish it returned an error.
I would be less stuck.

My first attempt was with 128 MB RAM, so just to be sure
I dropped in add'l 300+ MB, then deinstalled and reinstalled O8i.

Again, installation ran to completion,
except starter database creation crapped out at '80%'.

Still just hangs on startup nomount
with manual attempt after connecting internal.

Is there a problem with these versions of RH and O8i?
Is there a known workaround to this glitch?

If something was wrong in my pfile, then
I would get an error returned, right?

thanks very much

Jeremy Donson
