[SOLVED] Can we install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4
Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4 but it is not installing.
By looking at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10840/pre_install.htm#CIHFICFD I can see that centos5.4 is not the supported version of operating system for Oracle11gR2.
Is this true that we can not install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos5.4 ??
Thank you.
Harvey.

Re: Can we install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4
For [i]CentOS 5.4[/i] you should look for a reference to [i]RHEL 5.4[/i].
I have looked at the link you have provided and find that [i]Oracle[/i] only refers to [i]RHEL 5.2[/i] ([i]Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2[/i]).
So the answer to your question appears to be [i][b]yes[/i][/b], it cannot be installed on [i]CentOS 5.4[/i].

Re: Can we install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4
Hi AlanBartlett,
Thank you for the information.
Can we install any version of Oracle on CentOS 5.4?
If no then I will be using the old un supported version 5.2 and then install Oracle 11gR2 on it. I hope I can install Oracle 11gR2 on CentOS 5.2
Any suggestions?

Re: Can we install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4
Sorry [b]Harvey[/b], I'm not an [i]Oracle[/i] user. Hence I cannot help you with regards to which version to install on the current version of [i]CentOS[/i] (which, as of the date of this post, is [b]5.5[/b]).
Yes, having checked the link you previously provided, I see that [i]Oracle 11gR2[/i] will install using [i]RHEL 5.2[/i]. As the aim of the [i]CentOS Project[/i] is to be 100% binary compatible with the [i]upstream[/i] product, [i]CentOS 5.2[/i] may therefore be substituted for [i]RHEL 5.2[/i].
As you appreciate, usage of earlier version of the OS is not endorsed nor supported.
Perhaps [i]others[/i] who do use [i]Oracle[/i] may care to comment?

See this thread:

If you edit /etc/redhat-release to use the RHEL string, Oracle will install.

Re: Can we install Oracle 11gR2 on Centos 5.4
Hi Friends,
Thank you very much for your help.
I am able to install Oracle 11gR2 on CentOS 5.2 and 5.4 without any problems. I have followed the following steps to make it happen.
I think the issue was because of permissions.
chmod -R 777 linux_11gR2_database_1of2
chmod -R 777 linux_11gR2_database_2of2
then copy the content of Components folder from linux_11gR2_database_2of2 to the Components folder of linux_11gR2_database_1of2 (That is copying all the folders and file from Components to Components)
chmod -R 777 linux_11gR2_database_1of2
then ./runInstaller
and all worked very well.
Please mark the thread as closed.
Thank you.
Harvey.
