Install IBM DB2 on Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux)

Pre-installation notes:
Disable selinux is recommended.
In the official document, pdksh should be installed. In Fedora Core 5,
pdksh package is replaced by zsh package. So you need to install it .
check it with command :
rpm -qa |grep zsh
IBMJava2-SDK-1.4.1-2.0.i386.rpm is included by IBM DB2 tar file, and
so is Sun JDK . Both of them can work. If you need your mother language
to support it, I suggest you use Sun JDK 1.5. If you use Sun JDK, you
will have to set two environment Param.

export DB2USELOCALJRE= TRUE
export JAVA_HOME=/jdk

Normally, you can put the two lines on /etc/profile file.
Instructions on installation:

First of all, switch to db2 directory and run ./db2_install. Some
documents of db2_install program are not installed in your mother
language. For example, the document is not installed in Chinese, so I
have to install it manually by running :
rpm -ivh db2/linux/IBM_db2*cn*.rpm

You can't run db2setup yet, you still need to install patch first.

Next step is to download db2 patch from http://www.ibm.com , my patch
file name is FP11_MI00152.ta r. untar it and go-to the directory.
run :

../installFixPak -y

This program will automatically update your old rpm package.

If you have a DB2 License , install it :
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/adm/db2licm -a db2ese82.lic

Add some users and groups by hand, I run :
groupadd -g 800 dasadm1
groupadd -g 801 db2grp1
groupadd -g 802 db2fgrp1
adduser -g 800 -u 800 dasusr1
adduser -g 801 -u 801 db2inst1
adduser -g 802 -u 802 db2fenc1

The UID and GID is my choice. I choose it just for it is easy to
remember. Don't forget to use passwd command to give each user's password.

Now we can use command to create the instances of Admin and Database.

/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/dascrt -u dasusr1 #create a admin instance.
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/instance/db2icrt -u db2fenc1 db2inst1 #create a
database instance.

Installation is completed. Login with db2inst1 user and run db2sampl
command. You can create a sample database and use it.

Crash in PHP 4.3.11 after an extension function ( gcc 4 on Fedora Core 4)

by: rgristroph | last post by:

I have an extension in C++, which I compile as a module for php 4.3.11. I am using PHP 4.3.11 on Fedora Core 4, which has gcc 4 instead of gcc 3.2. Fedora Core 4 normally comes with PHP 5, but I removed it and installed PHP 4.3.11 from source, so that I didn't have to figure out problems I had with my extension and php 5. After a number of calls to my extension, there is one call to function (which has been called before) in which the...

2 different python versions / how to install packages?

by: Logan | last post by:

I have two different Python versions on my Linux system (2.2 and 2.3). I cannot remove version 2.2 because many configuration files of the system depend on this version of Python (and its extensions). Now I want to install extension packages for Python 2.3; if the package is distributed via Distutils, this is no problem: 'python2.3 setup.py install' will do the job (i.e. put everything in the 'site-packages' folder of Python 2.3).

Install Python 2.4 on Fedora 3 Core

by: Bill | last post by:

I have less than a week experience on linux, so I am a new newbie. Python 2.3 came preinstalled. I installed version 2.4. All seemed to go well except it installed to usr/local? 1. Was it wrong to install when logged in as 'root'? Does it make a difference? 2. I looked in the package editor and there was no way to uninstall 2.3? Should I? If so, how can I? If not,what are the problems, if any, of having both.

Hello pgsql-general, It appears 7.4 is not published in all the usual places so I was wondering if there's a yum repository with updated packages available and if not then what's the approach that will cause the least amount of pain? I do realize I'll need to dump/restore, just want some expert advice on how to upgrade the installation without breaking it. Thanks!

Problems upgrading PHP install

I'm working on a friend's box, Fedora Core 6. It has PHP 5.1.6. I need to install mcrypt into it, and the only way I can find to do it is from source then recompile PHP.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
