John

If this is a new install then why dont you just do the install again. Otherwise you can use following

STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "WMPROD" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG     MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 500
    MAXINSTANCES 10
    MAXLOGHISTORY 3630
LOGFILE
  GROUP 1(
    '/ora/redo1/wmprod/redo1a.log',
    '/ora/redo2/wmprod/redo1b.log'
  ) SIZE 700M,
..
DATAFILE
  '/ora/ts4/wmprod/system01.dbf',
..
;

Justput in names of you all your redologs and data files. You may have to do a recovery afterwards.
