Re: Problem: can't create a database

Here's some more info (after following instructions from a previous post & attempting to create DB w/o dbassist):

after running my crdb1.sh file, the following errors are reported:

Connected.
LRM-00109: Kan ikke ebne parameterfilen '/usr/local/oracle/8i/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/dbs/init8idb.ora' ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters CREATE DATABASE "8idb"
*
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
Disconnected.

What's goin' on here? First off, why is "Kan ikke ebne parameterfilen" in this error? This seems to be in a different language! I also checked the path it prints out - that file exists. It is a symlink to the actual .ora file.

Please help!

Regards,
Brice
