Hello to everyone ;

I tried to delete manually but i am got error message.

Quote:

mnt/hgfs/Dbsharing"
cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder.

I want to remove Dbsharing folder. How can i remove ???

Thanks and Regards

type the following command in the parent folder

Code:

ls -l

paste the output here
I may help u in the deletion process but I can't answer your question about checking the binaries in oracle..

Perhaps it would be wise to "unmount" it first !

Then you probably will be able to delete it.

To add a directory, you have to have both write and execute privileges in the parent directory. I think it's the same for removing a directory, but you can run some tests to see.

I executed rm -R <dir.name> but cant delete Dbsharing folder. but i lost contents inside Dbsharing.

As I said, you will probably need to change the permissions on the parent directory.

Show the "mount" command output,
I'm almost sure you have to unmount that "dbsharing" first.

I have no idea what's going on, but I would suggest starting by doing what the error message says....

Hi thiyagusham

This is a different problem than what you have posted in your thread title "I cant remove directory ",
you should start a new Thread instead.

While your troubles remain, you're mixing things up not doing the install and configuration on your server completed (you have just started the setup and you let alone to finish it expecting to work "out of box").

Your current problem is that you have configured your network with DHCP to automatically acquire IP address
but obviously you don't have any DHCP server where you connected your "server" to obtain IP address.

Configure it manually (2nd example).
