resolving libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory issue

ERROR:

 libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

CAUSE:

While creating a new clone with R12.1.3 when starting the Apache i get the errors:

error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

SOLUTION:

The soft link libdb.so.2 is missing

Create the soft link using super user –  root:
1) stop : middle tier services
2) create soft link using root user:
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
3) Start the application services.
4) Test issue now
