Oracle installation error on Fedora core 5 32 +bit

[tech291083]

Hi,

I have just managed to download the Oracle rpm for Linux from here:

version:

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Universal)

URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/sof...xelinsoft.html

I also followed the installation guide step by step from here:

http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/c...b25144/toc.htm

But when I start the Database Server from the menu I get this error message:

Operation failed, root is not a member of 'dba' group

I can't not even open the database hope page from the start menu. Firerox gives the following error message:

Unable to connect.

The url in the address bar is

http://127.0.01:8080/apex
Can any one please help me? Thanks.

usermod -G dba root

From what I can recall, it is a bad idea to run Oracle as root. To my understandong, part of the documentation says to create and use a user called Oracle.
Furthermore, it is a bad idea to run as root for day to day tasks.
