I downloaded Oracle 10g from the Oracle site, and installed same on my
laptop ( uses WINXP). Responded with all the Default prompts, and the
installation terminated successfully. Same with the Client download.
However, from day one, I've had problems:
1) When accessing OEM from the web, after I log in with SYS/password, the
next screen shows a Metrics Collection Error. When I attempt to 'START' the
DB, I get a ERROR 500 Internal Service Error, and cannot proceed any
further.
2) If I attempt to access OEM from client GUI interface, when I click on my
database, I get this innocuous mesage: "The Procedure entry point kpuhhalo
could not be located in the dynamic link library oci.dll"
I've spent several hours going thru the Installation documentation, which I
also downloaded. Nothing there to even give me a clue what the solution is
to either of my problems. Have also spent more hours thna I care to mention
on Google and various Oracle sites looking around, and can find nothing that
can help me. Some Oracle folks here suggested that I move the Home
directory to be first in the path. That didn't help. I then looked to
ensure that I had oci.dll on my computer, and I do. I also put a copy of
this dll in the \winnt\systems32 subdir.
What bothers me is that the installations went smoothly, and I picked the
Default options on everything. Why am I experiencing these problems? Am
completely frustrated, and am about to trash Oracle 10g. Really can't
afford to be wasting my time. I'm not a DBA, nor do I have any desire to
become one. Am a Senior Powerbuilder Developer, and wanted to install
Oracle 10g just to get some familiarity with it.
