Thanks for the quick response! I didn't think about looking at the Unix docs- I only used the Linux versions. (Specifically, I used http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/pdf/A86017_02.pdf for the install.) But I just checked out the install guide for the HP-UX 9000 unix, and it lists the same access permissions as the Linux doc I used.

I did re-check all the protection/permissions on the directories (page 4-3 and 4-4) against my server, and they're set to what they should be, with the added "all-read" that I did on my own (via "chmod -R a+r /home/oracle").

And I did run the root.sh script when it asked me to; I wish that was the problem! Should I run the root.sh again?

Should I go over the rest of the Unix docs, and compare it to the Linux ones? Should I use the AIX, Compaq Tru64, HP9000, etc?

Thanks!
