(Bash runInstaller works, ./runInstaller gives permission denied error). The script however points to #!/bin/sh which is present in the directory. My original problem still remains ? Why my Oracle database creation got over so fast (less than 2 minutes ) and after that if I try to run svrmgrl it gives me the following error : <snip> oracle@rajesh:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin > ./svrmgrl bash: ./svrmgrl: Permission denied oracle@rajesh:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin > bash svrmgrl svrmgrl: svrmgrl: cannot execute binary file oracle@rajesh:/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin > <snip> Any ideas why this is happening ? Should I install Oracle again ? Waiting for your reply. Eager to get my hands on Oracle under Linux.
