Re: Oracle on Linux installation

Try
1. Look into the Installation Log files for any errors. 2. Check the unix.prd file in $ORACLE_HOME to verify the Installed Products

3. Check for the Oracle Background Processes at Os Level using ps -ef|grep oracle
4.Set the correct Environmental Variables including LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try connecting to the Database using SVRMGRL or Sqlplus from the Local Server 5.If that is Ok, then Check the Listener.ora and Tnsnames.ora files and make sure that the Net8 Connect String correctly points to the ORACLE_SID..and a
lsnrctl status ..
correctly lists the Services..

After all this,if you are convinced that the Database is not created, then use your own Scripts to Create it rather than relying on the Oracle Installer ..

All the Best..
