Chapter 28. Tips and Hints for Oracle 10g on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
To reinstall Oracle 10g after a failed installation attempt, you might want to execute the following commands. Make sure you first used the "De-installation" option in the OUI.
su - root export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 . $ORACLE_HOME/bin/localconfig delete
The above line stops the Oracle CSS daemon and deletes the configuration.
rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/* rm -f /etc/oraInst.loc /etc/oratab rm -rf /etc/oracle rm -f /etc/inittab.cssd rm -f /usr/local/bin/coraenv /usr/local/bin/dbhome /usr/local/bin/oraenv
Make sure you comment out
ORACLE_HOME from ~oracle/.bash_profile.
