Re: Oracle/Linux Installation Problems

Hello,

I am brand new at this. I bought a book called Oracle 8i starter kit 6 weeks ago. That is how long it took me to get the thing installed. It is running on RH 7.1. As the release notes say, you have to install compatibility packages. They are on CD2 but will not install until glibc 2.1.3 is installed. That's on the CD too. Did you get the installer to run? If so, did you get error messages during the linking process? I can help you with that too if needed. I pretty much have the whole process down after doing it 35 times. My problem now is that I cannot start the instance for the starter database. I am getting ora-24323 error. (I think that's the number) "value not allowed" I assume I need to change a value in the "init" file but I'm not sure which. Like I said, I'm very new.
