I have downloaded oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm from oracle’s website and installed it on my new opensuse 11.2 using yast (simple click in kde).
then i called (to configure it).
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
But could not start it. I get the following error
vpc-laptop:/home/vpc # /etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart
Shutting down Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Instance.

I tried to do all manually
# rpm -ivh oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm

configure the database.
and then re configure it
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Configuration
-------------------------------------------------
This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g Express
Edition. The following questions will determine whether the database should
be starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords that
will be used for database accounts. Press <Enter> to accept the defaults.
Ctrl-C will abort.
Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:9090
Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:
Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the same
password will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use of
different passwords for each database account. This can be done after
initial configuration:
Confirm the password:

To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:9090/apex"
but configuration seems not to be successful. Oracle simply does not work.
This same version used to work perfectly on opensuse 11.1.
any idea?
