Problem:

After installing 11g on Oracle Linux 5, the database was not automatically created. After exiting OUI and manually running dbca, the following error appears:

File /etc/oratab is not accessible.

Solution:

The script root.sh was not run. Log on as the root user and then run $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh (usually /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/root.sh).
