1: Help in Installing Oracle...
Posted by Pao de Guia on 01/03/04 06:48 PM
I'm trying to install Oracle. Evrything's ok but I don't know how to execute command: /usr/i386-glib21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh as said in the Note in the "Installing Oracle 8.1.7 Server" portion of https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4-6-3/oracle.html I'm really not into Linux and I'm just very very new when it comes to this stuff so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need to become root:

su -

and type in that line or something close to it (it might be different depending on your Linux variant).

If you're new to Linux, you might use Postgres instead of Oracle if you have a choice. Oracle is sometimes difficult to install even for experienced admins.
