I have a database which I believe ran out of space on one of the drives to archive the redo logs. When this occured, the database shut down. I have since made room on the drive which had run out of space to store the redo log files but I still can't get the db back up and running. I can connect to the database as 'internal' but when I give the startup command, I get the following:

ORACLE instance started.
Database mounted.

ORA-0255: error archiving log 1 of thread 1, sequence # 3079
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/disks/disk1/gte_files/redo1gte.dbf'
ORA-00272: error writing archive log

Attempting to dismount database .......Database dismounted. Attempting to shutdown instance.....ORACLE instance shut down.

HELP! How can I get it up and running again? It is an Oracle 7.1 database. Received on Thu Jul 08 1999 - 19:05:19 CDT
