Re: Problem installing Oracle 8i on RH6.0

Installing Oracle8i on Linux has been a real pain for me too. I am using Debian Linux.. The installer did not work for me either as specified in the docs. It did work if I ran the script from cdrom/install/linux/runIns.sh. Even after this, the installation has not been easy. The installation proceeds until a certain point, then it hangs. You kill it, restart it, and after a certain # of attempts, you get to the end.

I finally got it installed, but I am stuck at reating a database using dbassist. I am getting the following message: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
If I ignore it, the next error message is: ORA-01012: not logged on
This repeats over and over if I ignore them.

If you or anybody else had some advice on how to solve this problem, I would appreciate it.

BTW, I found the info at http://pc3.cereus.uia.ac.be/cereus/howto_ora8i_lin.htm#dboverview very useful, up to a certain point.
