Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux

Huseyin Utlu — Fri, 11 May 2001 22:26:41 GMT

Hi all,
Does somebody installed Oracle 8.1.7 on a Linux server?
I am trying to install it but i get the error:
end of communication channel- Oracle not available when svrmgrl is started.
I set the oracle_home and oracle_sid according to documentation.
Kind regards.
Huseyin

I have it installing and running on RedHat 7.1. Which Linux are you using?

Did you try...

svrmgrl
connect internal
startup

Just connecting to svrmgrl doesnt mean the database is started. Also check to make sure the listener is also started as well.

This may seem like a stupid point, but I hope you mean that you set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID rather than oracle_home and oracle_sid. svrmgrl looks at the upper case environment variables.

Just a thought.

Hello,

I guess you succeeded in installing the Oracle software, but the database creation fails with ORA-03113.

If so, you need to know that Oracle has been developed with glibc 2.1.3, and it doesn't work well with glibc 2.2.

Don't ever try to downgrade the glibc : your Linux install will be corrupted.
Instead of that, go to the Oracle download section and get the Oracle glibc patch (oracle_glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz) : it comes with glibc 2.1.3 files to be installed in Oracle libraries, using the setup_stubs.sh script (in the tar file).

Note : you must read the README.stub file, and especially the section concerning /etc/ld.so.conf.

Good luck.

Kodjo

P.S. Don't forget to rate this answer (from 1 to 10).

Hi there.
Have you read the Release info and the Install and Upgrade guide for Oracle ?
If you check the Oracle certification matrix, you will see, that Oracle on Linux is only certified with SuSe 7.0 .
It may run with other versions, but if you run into mayor problems, try SuSe.
BTW Starting the database must be done with the svrmgrl, but running svrmgrl doe snot automatically start the database. The startup procedure is described in one of the other postings. For shutdown do :
svrmgrl
connect internal
shutdown / shutdown immediate / shutdown abort

for the different shutdown procedures read Oracle documentation-
