To automate database startup and shutdown by using the dbstart and dbshut scripts:

Log in as the root user.

Edit the oratab file for your platform.

To open the file, use one of the following commands:

On Solaris:

# vi /var/opt/oracle/oratab
On AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Tru64 UNIX:

# vi /etc/oratab
Database entries in the oratab file are displayed in the following format:

SID:ORACLE_HOME:{Y|N|W}
In this example, the values Y and N specify whether you want the scripts to start up or shut down the database, respectively. For each database for which you want to automate shutdown and startup, first determine the instance identifier (SID) for that database, which is identified by the SID in the first field. Then, change the last field for each to Y.

You can set dbstart to autostart a single-instance database that uses an Automatic Storage Management installation that is auto-started by Oracle Clusterware. This is the default behavior for an Automatic Storage Management cluster. If you want to do this, then you must change the oratab entry of the database and the Automatic Storage Management installation to use a third field with the value W and N, respectively. These values specify that dbstart auto-starts the database only after the Automatic Storage Management instance is started.

Note:
If you add new database instances to the system and if you want to automate startup for them, then you must edit the entries for those instances in the oratab file.

This is nothing to worry about – update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe missing LSB style header

After it’s been installed, configure it:

sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure

Configure stuff, I used all defaults I believe.

Next in order to run sqlplus to do anything you need to source the config file:

source /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client/bin/oracle_env.sh

Which in turn gave me this error:

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/nls_lang.sh: 114: [[: not found

Which is entirely related to what shell that it is trying to run on. In the file definition you’ll find #! /bin/sh and if you change this to #! /bin/bash it will run properly. Fixed!

Now doing a – ‘which sqlplus’ should return a path to sqlplus like this:

/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/sqlplus

SQLPLUS /NOLOG

CONNECT username/password

All of this so I can ‘Enable Remote HTTP Connection with SQL Command Line’

EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE);

Now I have to reconfigure port forwarding on my router at home in order to remotely access the Oracle Admin Website and router.

To access the Oracle Admin Site remote I should be able to go to:

http://host:port/apex

Where host = my domain name or IP and port = the default 8080 port I setup

I need to port forward 8080 requests to the server but I can’t remotely change my router yet.

I currently have it forwarding port 80 to the server but in order to change the router remotely I’m supposed to access myip:80

So one of those two needs to change.

Change HTTP or FTP port via SQLPLUS

SQL> begin

2    dbms_xdb.sethttpport(‘80′);

3    dbms_xdb.setftpport(‘2100′);

4  end;

5  /
