The twists and turns of installing Oracle xe on Ubuntu 8.04

The installation of Oracle-xe in Ubuntu 8.04 for the first time was quite smooth. Only the error "/etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe" does not exist at the end, but it can be used. You can also enter the WEB management interface.

I downloaded the deb package from the Oracle official website.

However, it was not a long time to go to the computer the next day and found that the WEB management interface was incorrect. The client connection is also abnormal, but it is normal to start with/etc/init. d/oracle-xe restart, as if everything is fine. But it cannot. I checked port 1521 with the network tool, but port 8080 (the port of the WEB management tool) is not. So I removed it and installed it again. This time I created the/etc/sysconfig directory manually. The first installation error does not appear again. It seems that the installation is more normal. However, all WEB management interfaces still do not work. Then I repeated it several times. None. It's very depressing.

So I went to the Internet to check the relevant information. I did not know how many articles about this, but I did not solve it. I used my problem as a keyword to query. By chance, I found a friend and I were a little close. He said that after you remove the installation, you must restart it and then perform the second installation. I am very excited. If so, it seems that my problem has to be solved. I did what I did, and it was OK,

I just restarted the OS and went to the WEB management interface again. OK, no problem. It seems that the problem has been solved.

However, I still don't understand why, but I can only speculate that the installation script provided by oracle-xe is not very good. But to sum up, there are two points to note,

1. Make sure that the directory/etc/sysconfig is available or that the installed user has the write permission on the directory/etc. This directory may be automatically created.

2. If you find that you cannot install it, you must restart the Ubuntu 8.04 system when you need to install it again.

OK. I hope it will help you.
