Issue
Note: The installation requires the numeric value of 500 for the Oracle ID as well as the group id.
Resolution
- Log in as the root user.
- Run the uninstaller:
cd /tmp/aveksa/staging/deploy ./uninstall.sh
- Change the user and group to the expected IDs:
usermod -u 500 oracle groupmod -g 500 oinstall
- Remove all the spawned files under /tmp without deleting the installation media:
cd /tmp mv aveksa .. rm -rf /tmp/* mv ../aveksa /tmp/ cd aveksa rm -rf /tmp/aveksa/staging/*
- Unpack a fresh copy of the files for staging:
cd staging tar -jxvf ../packages/aveksa-7.0.0.tar.bz2
- Delete the other files and directories that did not live under /tmp that were not removed by the uninstaller:
rm -rf /u01 rm -rf /home/oracle rm -rf /home/admin rm /usr/local/bin/coraenv rm /usr/local/bin/dbhome rm /usr/local/bin/oraenv
- Delete the admin user and his home directory (which will be created on the next installation attempt)
userdel -r admin
