I think you are right, I don't know how different will it be next time since I am no expert.

1) I don't have to deinstall/delete anything if I can get a little push. What's confusing is there are multiple entries of Oracle DB in etc/oratab file. We don't have any DB running on this machine so how do I delete those entries.

2) I have multiple entries of dba group in etc/group file which I am confused about. I don't know which 1 to keep and which 1 to delete?

3) root env and oracle env is different. How would I change it for oracle user since I can't start sqlplus, it gives me an error: SQLPLUS not found.

I have more problems but this is for now. I don't mind fixing this first?

We had an Oracle DBA who left , so this might be an opportunity for me to learn Oracle. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Oracle env and root env ar ethe same now.

roundup-demo

ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)					      General Commands Manual						 ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)

NAME

       roundup-demo - create a roundup "demo" tracker and launch its web interface

SYNOPSIS

       roundup-demo [backend [nuke]]

OPTIONS

       nuke   Create  a  fresh	demo  tracker  (deleting  the  existing one if any). If the additional backend argument is specified, the new demo
	      tracker will use the backend named (one of "anydbm", "sqlite", "metakit", "mysql" or "postgresql"; subject to availability  on  your
	      system).

DESCRIPTION

       This command creates a fresh demo tracker for you to experiment with. The email features of Roundup will be turned off (so the nosy feature
       won't send email). It does this by removing the nosyreaction.py module from the demo tracker's detectors directory.

       If you wish, you may modify the demo tracker by editing its configuration files and HTML templates. See the customisation manual for infor-
       mation about how to do that.

       Once  you've fiddled with the demo tracker, you may use it as a template for creating your real, live tracker. Simply run the roundup-admin
       command to install the tracker from inside the demo tracker home directory, and it will be listed as an available  template  for  installa-
       tion. No data will be copied over.
