brand new install OL7.2 and XE 11g fails to configure

3232155May 4 2016 — edited May 6 2016

hi everyone,

just made a brand new installation of Oracle Linux 7.2 and trying to install Oracle XE 11.2 - everything with defaults (ports, booting etc.)

hoped to get Linux distro just designed for Oracle products but apparently it's not designed for the XE...

[user@vinci ~]$ su

Password:

[root@vinci Disk1]# rpm -ivh oracle-xe-11.2.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

You must run '/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database.

[root@vinci Disk1]# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure

Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Configuration

-------------------------------------------------

This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 11g Express

Edition.  The following questions will determine whether the database should

be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords that

will be used for database accounts.  Press <Enter> to accept the defaults.

Ctrl-C will abort.

Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:

Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:

Specify a password to be used for database accounts.  Note that the same

password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM.  Oracle recommends the use of

different passwords for each database account.  This can be done after

initial configuration:

Confirm the password:

Do you want Oracle Database 11g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:

Database Configuration failed.  Look into /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/log for details

so I look for the content of LOG files
