I installed Oracle XE on a Virtual Machine. I did come up with 2 issues -
1. The VM had 512Mb of RAM and oracle needed more. Had to increase the swap space. This page gives instructions on doing this on ubuntu.
2. The VM was on an internal network, and could be accessed by its IP but not its hostname. This made the post-install oracle configuration tasks to fail (found this out through oracle’s install logs). So even if Oracle XE was installed, you could neither access it through sqlplus or through its web-based admin interface. We fixed this by changing the VM’s hostname to localhost, then un-intsalling and re-installing oracle XE.
And then don’t forget to run
after the installation!
