So I spent an inordinate amount of time kicking a virtual dedicated machine to get oracle installed, and failed. So I put up an old box, installed Oracle, and life was good.

I get the same symptoms in that it says the DB and net listener are started but I can not connect to the Oracle admin web page, however I get . Does anyone successfully use Oracle 10g Express or should I just give it up and run MySQL like every other idiot on the net.? I get the following error in my /var/log/sercure Dec 11 14:19:23 server1 su: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user oracle by (uid=0) Dec 11 14:20:08 server1 su: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user oracle Dec 11 14:20:08 server1 su: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user oracle by (uid=0) Dec 11 14:21:18 server1 su: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user oracle This is my own CENT OS 5 box.
