Hi,
Last day i did installation on Fedora 8, so what I did is here below...

check entry in /etc/hosts file for localhost.localdomain it should be like this
IP address localhost.localdomain localhost
there are two packages that must be installed before Oracle Ex installation......those are
# rpm -ivh libaio-*warning: libaio-0.3.106-3.2.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:libaio ########################################### [ 33%] 2:libaio-devel ########################################### [ 67%] 3:libaio warning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using rootwarning: group brewbuilder does not exist - using rootwarning: user brewbuilder does not exist - using rootwarning: group brewbuilder does not exist - using root########################################### [100%]

Now configure Oracle for
port number for Oracle Application Express and for listener.auto-startup on recycling
# /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Configuration-------------------------------------------------This will configure on-boot properties of Oracle Database 10g ExpressEdition. The following questions will determine whether the database shouldbe starting upon system boot, the ports it will use, and the passwords thatwill be used for database accounts. Press to accept the defaults.Ctrl-C will abort.
Specify the HTTP port that will be used for Oracle Application Express [8080]:8080
Specify a port that will be used for the database listener [1521]:1521
Specify a password to be used for database accounts. Note that the samepassword will be used for SYS and SYSTEM. Oracle recommends the use ofdifferent passwords for each database account. This can be done afterinitial configuration:Confirm the password:
Do you want Oracle Database 10g Express Edition to be started on boot (y/n) [y]:y
Starting Oracle Net Listener...DoneConfiguring Database...DoneStarting Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Instance...DoneInstallation Completed Successfully.To access the Database Home Page go to "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex"

So installation completed i just added oracle envirnment variables in .bash_profile.

Rest is good!
