Oracle 10g and Linux Installation
Errors and Troubleshooting
This chapter presents many common Oracle 10g problems and other issues.
Note
Most of the issues are caused by not following the installation procedure correctly. Some
errors are caused by not using an Oracle supported Linux OS version such as Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
The Installation log file can be found in $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory/logs. The Database
Creation log file can be found in $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/create.
