Follow the instructions to ignore, then at the package check all messages about missing packages. The installer checks RPM packages above have ensured that the package dependenci es are met. Step 4: Starting and stopping the database During installation, the database is started automatically. Therefore, at first everything seems to be working. For the database to be manually stopped and started, the following steps: Create a file in $ ORACLE_HOME with the name inityourmachine.ora. Content is a s
