ORA-24323 & ORA-03113 & ORA-01034 & ORA-27101 errors

Hello,

I get strange errors from my DB server. Here are the outputs;

$ sqlplus
SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production on Thu Oct 5 14:24:07 2000
(c) Copyright 2000 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Enter user-name: internal
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup force
ORA-24323: value not allowed
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

When I try to log on as any user I get these messages; SQL> connect anyuser
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory

I am still connected to the server as a user but when I do ps -ef | grep ora_ , I get nothing. Can someone please tell me what path I shall take?

Regards

Okan
