We firmly believe that Oracle Linux is the best Linux distributionon the market today. It's reliable, it's affordable, it's 100%compatible with your existing applications, and it gives you access tosome of the most cutting-edge innovations in Linux like Ksplice andDTrace.

But if you're here, you're a CentOS user. Which means that youdon't pay for a distribution at all, for at least some of yoursystems. So even if we made the best paid distribution in the world(and we think we do), we can't actually get it to you... or canwe? We're putting Oracle Linux in your hands by doing twothings:

Oracle Linux support costs money. If you just want the software, it's 100% free. And it's all in our yum repo at yum.oracle.com. Major releases, errata, the whole shebang. Free source code, free binaries, free updates, freely redistributable, free for production use. Yes, we know that this is Oracle, but it's actually free. Seriously.

Inasmuch as they're both 100% binary-compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, yes, this is just like CentOS. Your applications will continue to work without any modification whatsoever. However, there are several important differences that make Oracle Linux far superior to CentOS.

Well, for one, you're getting the exact same bits our paying enterprise customers are getting. So that means a few things. Importantly, it means virtually no delay between when Red Hat releases a kernel and when Oracle Linux does:

Again, you're running the exact same code that our enterprise customers are, so it has to be rock-solid. Unlike CentOS, we have a large paid team of developers, QA, and support engineers that work to make sure this is reliable.

If you're running Oracle Linux and want support, you can purchase a support contract from us (and it's significantly cheaper than support from Red Hat). No reinstallation, no nothing -- remember, you're running the same code as our customers.

This is not some gimmick to get you running Oracle Linux so that you buy support from us. If you're perfectly happy running without a support contract, so are we. We're delighted that you're running Oracle Linux instead of something else.

We've published a script and instructions on GitHub. Try it out: centos2ol.sh script on GitHub. What versions of CentOS can I switch? centos2ol.sh can convert your CentOS 8, 7 and 6 systems to Oracle Linux.

The script has two main functions: it switches your yum configuration to use the Oracle Linux yum server to update some core packages and installs the latest Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. That's it! You won't even need to restart after switching, but we recommend you do to take advantage of UEK.

The centos2ol.sh script takes precautions to back up and restore any repository files it changes, so if it does not work on your system it will leave it in working order. If you encounter any issues, please raise an issue in the centos2ol GitHub repo.

In this tutorial, you use an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Free Tier account to set up an Oracle Linux instance. Then, you install an Apache web server and PHP and access your new server from the internet.

From the Instance Details page look under the Instance Access section. Write down the Public IP Address the system created for you. You use this IP address to connect to your instance.

Note: Get the IP address from your compute instance details page. From the main menu, select Compute then Instances. Select the compute instance your created. The IP address is listed under the Public IP Address field.

On the database there are two services, "service dbora start" and "service dbora stop". When the server (host) is shutdown, it is my understanding that service dbora stop service kicks in so that here is a graceful shutdown of the database. When the host is restarted and the process to autostart the database is set, the database does NOT start. I get "connected to an idle instance" It has to be manually started by giving the startup command. Why? That is the question. I have followed the document -database/19/admin/configuring-automatic-restart-of-an-oracle-database.html to accomplish this.

then after that kill -TERM to all remaining process (less friendly still a request)... and then kill -KILL to all still remain process.., meaning sudden death. Then the system will reboot again at some time.
