I had a tough time also. After initial install, I cannot start the
listener. After applying the patch, when I start svrmgrl, and connect
through internal, it started asking for password. After talking to some
people, I thought I had it resolved. But the password problem came back. I
do not know what is going on. I probably will blow away Oracle home and re
do again. That's gotta be my 4th or 5th time installing this thing. I have
used 8i on SUN and HP. Never had this many problems. Oh, try to get WebDB
to work. Does not even have an installation program. You have to do that
manually.
