Hi all,
Novide here
following Dizerll's instructions for installation, but am getting an
error not mentioned in his guide:

Error in writing to file
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key

any ideas ?

I have all the latest patches etc from RHN

cheers

That would be "Dizwell"!

Bingo. The paper clearly describes installing RH9 *from the CDs* and
then immediately doing the install. When you do things in a different
way to that described in the paper (ie, patching RH9 and *then* doing
the install) you can expect errors to arise which the paper doesn't
cover!

I'm no Linux guru (that's why I wrote the paper!), so there is
probably an easy fix that a true Linux Bod can tell you.
Alternatively, start from scratch, do exactly what the paper tells
you, no more and no less, and then it will work.

That said, it sounds like it could be just be a permissions problem...
which again wouldn't arise if you follow the paper's instructions
every step of the way. (Maybe you missed a step, or mis-typed
something?).

You can patch RH9 *after* Oracle's been installed, by the way.

That's Dizwell to you <g>

While I prefer Howard's site for clarity, you should keep Werner's site
at http://www.puschitz.com as a backup since he has more complete &
practical Linux experience going way back.

Sounds like a permissions problem. Did you run the root.sh at the right
time?

Sad.

You now have overpatched the system and applied the latest glibc - which
is incompatible with the Oracle install. Which was explained in the
document. (Which implies you didn't read it carefully.)

You may want to re-read the instructions and follow them more closely.
