Re: Oracle9i on Suse Linux

[JOE TESTA]

Jonathan, on the RH side of linux, i didnt even try to have it build a database during install, i've not had much luck with that, so i've always run the dbca afterwards.   Same here for the JDK, i did as u did and the dir is empty.   my oraenv sets an oracle home.   joe   >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/06/01 10:35AM >>> I installed Oracle9i on Suse Linux 7.1 (384MB RAM, 400MB swap), and ran into a bit of a snag. The install ran fine until the end when the database creation assistant attempted to start the seed database. At that point I received an "ORA-03113: End of File on Communication Channel" error, and my Linux box froze up. Having Linux freeze up is a pretty rare event in itself, but I'm really wondering what caused the error. After rebooting, I was able to run the database creation assistant, create another database, and start that one. I then tried to manually start the seed database, and received the same ORA-03113 error. Could this somehow be related to memory? Was it too much to have the installer and the creation assistant running at the same time? A couple of other oddities I noticed: During the install, I was asked to specify a location for a JDK. I dutifully created a directory and typed in its path, but the installer never actually put any files into it. Why did it ask me for a directory that it wasn't going to use? When I run the oraenv script, it doesn't create an ORACLE_HOME environment variable. Instead of adding $ORACLE_HOME/bin to my path, it adds the full path to the bin directory. Is $ORACLE_HOME going away?
