I just finished installing Oracle 10g and the companion CD on Fedora
Core 1 and am having some problems getting the standalone Apache
server up and running (so I can use the web based management
utilities). The installation program failed to start the web server
during the installation process and when I go to the standalone
server's bin directory and type "./httpd" I get the following error
message:

../httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdms2.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Does anyone have any idea what Fedora RPM libdms2.so belongs to?

When you installed the O/S did you let it install its own copy of
Apache or did you drop it from the modules being installed?

Haven't run into that, as I haven't installed Oracle 10g AS yet. So,
hust thinking aloud ...

on Oracle9iAS, the Apache/OC4J includes dms & dms0. And the dms is an
Apache mod, needing a .so ...

I wonder whether dms2 is the latest of these? If so, did you run into
any problems during link phase? Since Fedora is the latest RedHat, are
you running into the glibc issue? You can read about the glibc issue
and need to downgrade on downloaded RH9 in the white paper at
http://www.dizwell.com

One place to look is the $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/httpd.conf and see
whether it loads dms2. What does the detailed install log show.

Unfortunately I had the OS install its own copy of Apache. I didn't
realize at the time that Oracle needed to use its own version. Is
this known to cause conflicts? The OS version doesn't start up
automatically and isn't running when I attempt to start Oracle's
version, so it's definitely not a conflict in that sense.

I wouldn't say known ... but rather that at every class I have
taken or taught we always routinely install the Oracle Apache
and do not install the Linux Apache. That may well be the issue but
I can't say for sure.

I got to the bottom of it. libdms2.so was installed along with the
companion CD and is located in $ORACLE_HOME/companion_1/lib. I just
needed to add that path to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Silly me.

Thanks everyone.
