Mine is pretty easy to read! Maybe you need to check your character set??? :-))

Dennis,
Oracle created the SPFILE which is not humanly readable. There should
be an
alter database/system command that does the change for you. According to
what I
heard at Oratechs 2000 editing the init.ora file is now longer effective.

For Oracle 9.2 (Solaris), can anyone tell me where Oracle is expecting the init.ora file?
I created the database using dbca. It created an init.ora in admin/{db_name}/pfile. I moved this to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and renamed the original init.ora file. Then I discovered that Oracle is not reading the new init.ora. The database starts fine, with no errors. I tried moving the init.ora file back to the original pfile location, but it is still not reading it. Specifically, I am trying to set LOG_ARCHIVE_START = true, but I have made other changes and they are not taking effect either.
I have searched the documentation, and while there is the new SPFILE, there is no indication how this might affect my problem.
Any insights from someone that has turned archiving on with 9.2 would be appreciated.
