That sounds really stupid.
On Lubuntu 10.10, I did:
echo "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update ; apt-get install oracle-xe
That brings me Oracle XE 10.2.0.1. And then:
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Everything looks ok, including the password prompt and so. After that, I go to http://127.0.0.1:port/apex, and when I try to login with the username “SYSTEM”, and the password I just typed. I get a “Invalid Login Credentials” error.
I also tried:
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT
[ .. login and password .. ]
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Setting the environment variables also don’t help.
sh oracle_env.sh
Well.. I just don’t know what’s happening. I repeated this procedure trying to find peculiar things, but always got the same results. Also tried some other users as “SYS”. useless…
Thanks in advance.
Guys, I’ve been breakin my head with the same issue and finally got it logging in.. Here is the key.. http://www.linoob.com/2010/02/setting-up-oracle-xe-10g-in-ubuntu/
in case u ve already installed oracle, just remove it and purge and then reinstall with the steps in the given link..
And don’t forget to give a longer password this time.. “minimum 8 chars” as I picked it up from some forum..
