Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Can't create tablespace in Oracle

Not according to the OACS installation instructions, and not how I have it running on another box:

SVRMGR> exit
joeuser:~$ su -
Password: ************
root:~# mkdir -p /ora8/m02/oradata/ora8/
root:~# chown joeuser.web /ora8/m02/oradata/ora8
root:~# chmod 775 /ora8/m02/oradata/ora8
root:~# exit
joeuser:~$

I did get around the problem by changing permissions on the directory to 777 just to complete this step, but now have problems that suggest errors with jvminst. So looks like starting over is the next step. Thanks.

Michael,

The OACS installation instructions are:

root:~# mkdir /ora8
root:/ora8# cd /ora8
root:/ora8# mkdir -p m01 m02 m03/oradata/ora8
root:/ora8# chown -R oracle.dba /ora8
root:/ora8# exit

As you can see, this is taken from this page https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/oracle.html and there is no mention that this directory should be joeuser.web since it's the oracle directory!

Note: The above mention refers to /ora8/m03 but it's the same as using m02.

Permissions 777 poses a security risk that I wouldn't be willing to take 😉.
