RE: Database Creation Problem

Not a factor for this error, but what's the ORACLE_SID?

Hamid,

What are the permissions on the directory - - - /opt/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/dbs?

What is the owner and group id on the above directory?

     List,


     When I try to run Create database script to create a new database, I
     get the
     following error(Oracle 8.1.7.4 on Sun Solaris 8),


     ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
     ORA-01990: error opening password file
     '/opt/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/dbs/orapw'
     Disconnected.
