sir i m using fc5 and i want to install oracle on my machine. I resolved its all deps but struck in problem that..

oracle needs 750 mb of swap space but on my system as according to my ram i had installed system with 650 mb, as comapared to my ram ie 256 mb.i have one 10 gb ext3 partiton and rest all are ntfs partitions.. now my problem is how can i increase the swap space of the system without formatting by taking some space from ext3 parttion on my system as i dont have any free space now on my disk.

i chked about it and seen some swap command ie adjusting vlength etc..... but all what i m doing is messing up things..kindly help me out.......so that i can install oracle on my system without foramtting it...

go to the ORACLE_HOME directory (written in /etc/oratab ) and change $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora to reflect the port that you want.

Restart the oracle listener. This is probably doable via the init.d script, but if you want to do it directly, you need to su to the Oracle user, source the oraenv script to setup your environment, and "lsnrctl stop" followed by "lsnrctl start".

thanx for ur support, i m facing some trivial problems.. after installing 10g through rpm. port was given wrong by me, and now i have changed it to 8080 by chaning in file /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe... now oracle shows up in the menu. when i try to access the start page. ie http://127.0.0.1/apex it fo not open. i stopped the selinux and firewall and even than it says page not found...till i hadn't made any of the user accounts except the sys and system. when i try to open sql cmdline , it gets open up. when i try to connect with system username and password it agains give error.. al is messed up in my end. and i didn't got some gud document in oracle base.. for the configuration...
