ORACLE_HOME Configuration

Hi, I am trying to install 8.1.7 on a HP-UX box. I have created a user called oracle to install the product. In the home\oracle area I have a .profile for the user oracle. Within the .profile I have the following information related to where I want the oracle home directory to be. This is some of what is in my .profile...

##############################################

# needed to run Ora client stuff
# ORACLE defs

ORACLE_BASE=/usr01/u01/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/816
ORACLE_SID=O816

export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID PATH

PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

# END OF needed to run Ora client stuff

##############################################

I think that I have executed this profile correctly (executed ./oraenv), but when logged in as oracle if I do a CD $ORACLE_HOME It will change the directory to home\oracle, when it should be /usr01/u01/oracle/product/816
based on what I have in my .profile
What am I doing wrong? How should I execute my .profile so it will take effect? Thanks in advance Received on Fri Mar 16 2001 - 14:14:22 CST
