Hi
Has anyone installed Oracle on 9.3?
I've read a good tutorial at the novell site on how to do this but when running the installer from the new oracle userid I get
"Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:0.0'"
and other similiar errors.
I've read a load of threads regarding running xhost + and setting your DISPLAY variable but none of these have worked for me and I suspect that they are related to remote server installations.
We run it on our RHEL AS 3. Unfortunately the DBA do their own installs here so I can't help you on the steps.
xhost+ is to allow permissions for connecting to the X Server. You have to make sure it is actually running in the first place.
Are you doing the install from within a GUI? Or are you perhaps attempting to do the install from a putty or telnet session that has connected to the server from your workstation? If the latter is your workstation running X-windows? If for example you're on a MS-Windows workstation you'd get errors because it doesn't run X-Windows natively. It would have to have something like Hummingbird Exceed installed and running to allow the X-Window to work.
Also you might want to run lsof to check the X-Windows ports to make sure they're not in use by something else. (The default ports 6000 - 6010 - window 0:0 should be on 6000.) Try running "lsof -i :6000" to see if the port is in use by something else. On my putty terminals I've enabled ssh tunneling and saw an issue on trying to run a process once because the tunel was holding open port 6010 and the other application was set to start on that one by default.
Failing all else perhaps you'd be able to run it from the console after starting Gnome or KDE (startx).
Nothing as complex as a proper install, I'm just trying to install Oracle 10g standard (the free one) on my home PC, running Suse9.3 Pro.
I'm a java developer and I need to be able to recreate the set-up we have a work (Oracle). In the meantime, while scratching my head on Oracle, I set up MySQL without any problems at all on Suse9.3 and built some abstract classes so that my apps are oblivious as to what DBMS they're connecting to.
Note, Oracle 10g standard was a doddle to set up on windows XP, the iSQL web interface is especially neat.
Anyhow, I live in hope that I can get Oracle running on my Suse9.3 OS.
I am able to install oracle as my own userid though (not oracle) but when I rebooted the PC the DB instance wouldn't start etc, so I reckon I made a complete mess of things.
