How can i get Enterprise Manager for Oracle 11g R1 to install?

Question

I am running a windows xp sp3 machine with 22gb free space, 1.5ghz Intel Pentium M and 768MB of RAM. Every time i try to install oracle 11g, the installation goes okay except for running the emca script.

Enterprise manager failed due to the following error- error starting database control

caused by OracleDBConsoleorcl not being able to start

Could not start the OracleDBConsoleorcl on local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion.

the event logs show

The OracleDBConsoleorcl service terminiated with service-specific error 2(0x2)

I have tried everything from editing the host file, setting a static ip to configuring the loopback adapter. None of this seems to be working. Is there something i am doing wrong?

Answer 2

After what has been a looooong weekend of surfing, trial and error, i have the problem licked.

• first, do a normal install and ignore the

Enterprise manager failed due to the following error- error starting database control

error

• setup up static IP, preferably on a loopback adapter if you are using a laptop, and make sure it is listed in host file as first IP i reccomend using HostExpert from funkytoad for this
• run the following at a command prompt (cmd as opposed to the run/open)

• set oracle_sid=orcl
• emca -repos recreate
• emca start dbconole

and bob's your uncle. in my case enterprise manager is on port 1158 as opposed to 5500 so YMMV.

emca -repos recreate Database SID: ORCL Listener port number: 1521 Password for SYS user: Password for SYSMAN user: Do you wish to continue?

Well, I guess so. Fresh Oracle 11g install of an empty database and this thing has been running for 4.5 hours!!

Is this normal?
