error while loading shared libraries

Error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory R12.1.1 Installation on Linux 5.X

Hello,

I was Installing Oracle E-Biz R12.1.1 on OEL 5.4 - 64 Bit for one of our customer. All OS pre-requisites has been configured as per the MOS tech note for Installation and all pre-req check from the rapidwiz Installer went fine.

At last steps of Installation during validating system configuration it failed on HTTP, loginpage, Help Directory and JSP.

When checked all services were up and running except web server.

Cause: http web server unable to start due to missing library.

Solution:

1) Shutdown all application services.

2) create link for library file as below 

ln -s   /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0  /usr/lib/libdb.so.2

3) Startup all application services.

Now you should be able to access the application.

Happy reading... :)
