Re: please help: oralce8 on NT4

Hi:

Try to double click on the strtorcl under your ORACLE_HOME/database directory. I don't start the Oracle service through Control Panel. I found that the database cannot be started properly sometimes.

Please detail how you pass any login by using internal/oracle? I think the password may not be correct. Please right click on the 'strtorcl' batch file (in notepad), next to the word -usrpwd, it is the password for internal. And do the following:

Open up a DOS session.
type : set oracle_sid=orcl<ENTER>
type : svrmgr30 <ENTER>
when you in svrmgr prompt, type: connect internal/your_password <ENTER> type : startup

The above works for me.
