i'm having problems installing Oracle8i (r3) on a Red Hat 8.0 machine. the installation of the software itself goes fine but database creation fails. i've tried creating the database both during and after installation using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (dbassist) but it fails with the following error message: 'ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact'. i've also tried creating database creation scripts using dbassist and running these scripts manually. the scripts use svrmgrl which fails to connect to the database and prints the following error message: 'ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel'. any ideas on how to fix this problem? i have installed Oracle8i on a Red Hat 7.3 machine where it runs fine. best regards, -- aspa http://www.kronodoc.fi/ -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
