Hi,
I am installing the Oracle V7.0 in a unix env(soft appliance) and I am having an error: Failed to connect to the database
I was told that is should change the oracle user and oinstall group ID to 500, which I have done; but still come up with the same issue.
See Screenshot.
Can anyone assist or have experienced it before?
Hi,
Except the step 1, I executed all the above steps as per the article already and it still come up with this error.
I will set the umask and re-try again.

During the installation with remote DB there are a few things to keep in mind because they cause issues:
- make sure the SID and the service name are the same, the service name is preferred
- during the java install the permissions on the directory are not set correctly and the Oracle user cannot access java
- chmod 755 /etc/alternatives/java_sdk_1.7.0
- after the installation, check the averse-standalone-full.xml, the lines where the service name is used have a : after the port and that should be a /
- jbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:port:<servicename> should be jbc:oracle:thin:@<hostname>:port/<servicename>

Hi Edwin,
I didn't have an issue with the SID and service name as they are the same.
The java issue didn't occur as well/
Once I manage to install, I will check the last point, which can only be done after the installation.
Thank you
Below steps might help:
1. make sure umask of root is 022 and umask of others is 002
2. Delete oracle and admin user. Delete oinstall and dba group. (if exists)
3. Create below accounts and groups
/usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
/usr/sbin/groupadd dba
/usr/sbin/useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
passwd oracle
4.. usermod -u 500 oracle
groupmod -g 500 oinstall
5. Follow instructions from the attache doc
