Hi -
I'm installing Oracle 8.0.5 Server on RedHat 6.0 Linux.
When I run the installer orainst I select all the defaults,
and all possible products to install.
But I get the message:
A permission denied error occurred while trying to make the directory '/oracle01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/orainst'. (Operation not permitted.) Would you like to retry the operation, ignore the error, or allow the error to be processed by the Installer?
Yet "ls -al" shows the directory already exists, and is certainly accessible by userid "oracle":
$ pwd
/oracle01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5
$ ls -al
total 5
1 drwx------ 5 oracle dba 1024 Sep 24 14:46 ./ 1 drwx------ 3 oracle dba 1024 Sep 24 13:39 ../ 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Sep 24 14:43 bin/ 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Sep 24 14:46 dbs/ 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Sep 24 14:47 orainst/
$ id
uid=600(oracle) gid=600(dba) groups=600(dba)
Similarly, all the directories /oracle01, /oracle01/app, ... are owned by oracle.dba.
How can I get around this?
Many thanks -
