phpMyAdmin – allow remote access to phpMyAdmin

To allow access to phpMyAdmin on a server from a remote browser, edit the file:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

and add lines as follows (example allow remote access from 192.168.1.107)

# phpMyAdmin - Web based MySQL browser written in php
#
# Allows only localhost by default
#
# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

Oracle – Remove / Detach Home from Oracle Inventory


Must be done from an installed runInstaller (not from distribution)

oracle@server1: ./runInstaller -silent -detachHome -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOME="/oracle/product/112_64/ORCL"
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB.   Actual 10111 MB    Passed
The inventory pointer is located at /etc/oraInst.loc
The inventory is located at /oracle/oraInventory
'DetachHome' was successful.

Then, in the inventory.xml file, an entry will appear as follows:
