Hi, I'm upgrading a 9i Oracle installation and running a patch on RHE
3. I'm having a permission problem. User bob ran the original install
script. However, when user bob ran the upgrade patch with the Universal
Installer (name: Oracle9i, path /data/oracle9i/OraHome1), it says you
don't have the right to create dir OraHome1. I've verified that
/data/oracle9i/OraHome1 exists; however, it isn't owned by bob; it is
owned by user "oracle". So how do you solve that problem? Do I delete
the OraHome1 directory and let the install/upgrade wizard create one?
Or do I "su - oracle" . The thing is that I don't recall ever creating
a user "oracle." Opinons?
