Could you give more detail about the loopback?

I've just installed the dev release of 10g on OSX as I'm interested in learning Oracle.

I was able to access Oracle using Oracle Enterprise Manager within my browser after the install, but now the URL which worked last night is getting "Connection refused." The address of this machine is 10.0.1.2.

This would, most likely, explian why during the install, Oracle complained about not being able to determine the IP address. It gave me the option of choosing a default and I did -- each time.

Does anybody know if there is a released version of Oracle for OS X? I believe the 10g is still in beta and just being shown on the Apple/Oracle roadshow.

In the generated root.sh, I see that Linux is supported. I may consider getting Linux, but prefer to keep it OS X if possible. I'm not interested in any release of Windows.

thanks in advance. Received on Wed Nov 03 2004 - 19:22:38 CST
