Oracle Database Discussions

Hello Everybody,

I am preparing for OCA -11g Administrator. For this I am installing 11G rel 1 on external HDD which I made of filesystem ext2. My machine has 40G HDD which I have made as dual boot, windows(30GB) and Linux(10GB) RedHat.

Due to less space on Linux based machine, I am trying to install the software and create database on external HDD. It seems I am half way through i.e I have installed 11G successfully but when I am trying to run root.sh as root user I am getting permission denied error. If I click OK and continue to run netca.sh as oracle user,

When I run $ORACLE_HOME/bin/netca.sh I am getting the following error -

netca: line 196: /media/linux/u01/app/aoza/product/11.1.0/db_1/jdk/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

I have copied the 196th line of netca.sh, its failing on below given line -


$JRE -mx64m $SRVM_PROPERTY_DEFS -Dsun.java2d.font.DisableAlgorithmicStyles=true -Dice.pilots.html4.ignoreNonGenericFonts=true -classpath $CLASSPATH oracle.net.ca.NetCA $*
exit $status

I have tried re-installing everything again and again, I even changed access to all folders and files on external HDD to 777, I have current java version as well. I have disabled the firewall also. I have made 'aoza' as the owner of external HDD.

Just as a FYI - When I was trying to install 11G with source file on external HDD even then I was getting permission denied on /media/linux/database/install/.oui , so I copied the database folder on my Linux Desktop and tried to run ./runInstaller from there and OUI was successfully displayed. I guess its something to do with my external HDD permissions.

I am stuck and dont know how to resolve this error. Will really appreciate if anybody can help.
