miklittle · 11-11-2002, 09:38 AM

I've seemingly successfully installed Oracle 8i but am unable to execute any commands

No menus items have appeared on task bar for either root or oracle user

runInstaller says I have tons of software for oracle
oracle in in correct directories
I ran the oracle setus for linux to prepare the system

not sure where to go now

Oracle does not install any menu items. All the binaries are in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

For instance the Database Creation Assistent is at $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca, Net8 Assistent is at $ORACLE_HOME/bin/netca, SQLPlus is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus, Server Manager $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl and the Listener Control is $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl

Make sure all users have $ORACLE_HOME setup to the proper location. And then add $ORACLE_HOME/bin to your path so you can run Oracle applications.
