# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Configuration ------------------------------------------------This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition. The following questions will determine whether the database should be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords that will be used for database accounts. Press <Enter> to accept the defaults. Ctrl-C will abort. Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]: Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:1525 Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use of different passwords for each database account. This can be done after initial configuration: Confirm the password: Do you want Oracle Database 10g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:y Starting Oracle Net Listener...

Enabling Remote HTTP Connection

On SQL Command Line prompt, enter the following command: SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);

Change HTTP port for XE

Default port is 8080 , and you want to change port to say 8090 then On sql prompt run following command SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8090); Now for home page use URL htttp://127.0.0.1:8090/apex

ORACLE XE perfoamnce
Run following command when you start database

EXEC DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.create_snapshot; ------ run your sqls --again run snapshot ----EXEC DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.create_snapshot;

XE database troubleshooting
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) check database is up or not "ps -aef |egrep "xe|pmon" check listener is up or not "lsnrctl status" Check/Run "tnsping xe" and sqlplus system/<password>@xe is working or not run "netstat -a" port is in use or not!! . Once http start working "lsnrctl status" will show http entry like

[b](DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp) (HOST=hostname)(PORT=8080)) (Presentation=HTTP)(Session=RAW)) [/b] 6) for home page use link http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex (use port what you configured, Default is 8080) 7) Check sqlnet.ora , some time domain entry create problem for connect string 8) Check alert.log/alert<SID>.log for any error.

Getting ORA-600 error after installtion

Some people get following ORA-600 in alert.log, after install

Errors in file /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/udump/xe_ora_6574.trc: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [keltnfy-ldmInit], [46], [1], [], [], [], [], [] USER: terminating instance due to error 600

To over come this issue make sure /etc/host have 127.0.0.1 and host entry like given below

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost.domain xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname hostname.domain

Also ping and verify all the host and IP mentioned in /etc/hosts ping localhost

ping localhost.domain ping host ping host.domain ping 127.0.0.1

Why my XE not start automatically on Linux, why my Linux reboot hanged to starting listener.
I have installed XE on AS 4 and found it not start automatically even entry is there in rc2.d , anyway, When checked, also got same error

Starting ORACLE instance (normal) Cannot determine all dependent dynamic libraries for /proc/self/exe The open() system call failed for the file /proc/self/exe Linux Error: 13: Permission denied

I usually start manually.

Login as oracle user , from root su - oracle cd /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0./server/bin bash (or ksh) . ./oracle_env.sh sqlplus "/ as sysdba" shutdown immediate; startup exit lsnrctl start Then connect to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex Looks like there is issue with shell script for starting XE database , let us run manually and check why # sh +x ./oracle-xe start

My Swap Space is not sufficient ( less then 1 GB )

Oracle XE installtion need 1 GB swap space , and i have Only 98MB (Approx) Used following work around to add addition space to swap area # free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1001916 210836 791080 0 10840 113700 -/+ buffers/cache: 86296 915620 Swap: 983032 0 983032 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=400 400+0 records in 400+0 records out # ls /swapfile /swapfile
