Hello Joeffrey,

Did you create any init scripts to start the service? Like dbora and put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d

Hope that helps a bit! jer

You'll need to su to oracle and execute "emctl start dbconsole". The default oracle install doesn't start the enterprise manager (at least mine doesn't).

emctl probably isn't in your default path. If you installed oracle into /opt/ or wherever you'll have to modify your path accordingly. You can do this one user at a time by editing ~/.bash_profile or you can do this sytem-wide by making a file in /etc/profile.d/ called oracle.sh with the contents similar to below

if ! echo ${PATH} | grep -q /path/to/oracle/install ; then PATH=${PATH}:/path/to/oracle/install/bin fi

This will set oracle to the end of all future login paths, so you should not after logging out/back in, you should see no more command not found junk.

The oracle documentation has some coverage on how to work with enterprise manager (http://oraclesvca2.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10742/toc.htm). It's important that these commands be run as the oracle user with the appropriate environment variables set (ORACLE_HOME, PATH, ORACLE_SID).

Check those and copy and paste the exact response you're getting on the command line in a reply so we can see more about what's going on.

As Jim mentioned as well, you should turn iptables off just to make certain all the packets are getting through.

A good resource for installing oracle on CentOS/RHEL is http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley_10gdb_install.html.

export PATH unset USERNAME ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID=demo1; export ORACLE_SID LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Is this the bash file for YOUR user, or for the oracle user? Does the oracle user have a valid shell.

Here's what my .bash_profile looks like for oracle. Notice $ORACLE_HOME/bin in the path. Mine has some additional info for RAC, but you can easily remove that.

# Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

unset USERNAME ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle ORACLE_SID=skyd1 ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/10.1.0/db ORA_CRS_HOME=/app/oracle/10.1.0/crs PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$HOME/bin export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME ORA_CRS_HOME PATH

hello bryan

all i get is Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control...failed after typing "emctl start dbconsole" what log file should i look into? thanks for your help.

rgds, Joeffrey

For me the logs are in /app/oracle/10.1.0/db/raca_skyd1/sysman/log. This works out to $ORACLE_HOME/$HOSTNAME_$ORACLE_SID/sysman/log. See if there's anything meaningful in there.
