I recently purchased a VPS server and thought I would stick on an Oracle 12c and APEX and have a fast way to bring a system up external to my organization for demo's and have full control.
Problem #1 - No SWAP. And the command to mkswap and then swapon doesn't seem to work on the VPS.
My solution would be to try it without SWAP. Can we install without swap? I have talked to the VPS "Helpdesk" and they say they can't do swap? It doesn't make sense so I am thinking they are just wrong. Looking for people that have done this on a VPS and how. Is there a secret -ignore-prerequisites for oracle or does oracle express? Does Oracle even work with VPS's? If there is no swap, I don't know, so this question I have to ask.
The server is a fedora 20,
40gig disk /dev/ploop34205p1
1 gig ram
