Oracle XE not starting up
624625Feb 22 2008 — edited Sep 30 2010Hi Community,
I have installed Oracle XE on top of RH FC4 running on my VM. When I start XE I get the following error:
[root@vm ~]# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
Starting Oracle Net Listener.
Starting Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Instance.
Failed to start Oracle Net Listener using /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/tnslsnr and Oracle Express Database using /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/sqlplus.
[root@vm ~]#
I tried capturing the errors which are '/bin/su: /bin/bash: Permission denied', I checked the permissions which are okay. The oracle-xe script fails at line "$SU -s /bin/bash $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$SQLPLUS -s /nolog @$ORACLE_HOME/config/scripts/startdb.sql" > /dev/null 2>&1".
Has anybody encountered this problem?
Cheers
Nitin
