Anyone can guide me, how to install oracle8i on CentOS 5.2.

I tried by myself and got this error.

Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait...

Hello

To know what OS is certified with which product we use Oracle certification matrix. The OS CentOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I verified from metalink as it's showing result below:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1 8.1.7 (8i)

It means only CentOS 2.1 is certified with 8i. BTW I successfully installed database 10gr2 over CentOS 4.3 that's certified with RHEL4.

The only databse certified with RHEL/CentOS 5 is Database 11gR1.

Hope that'll help you to understand certification matrix.
