Re: connection problem with Oracle 8.1.5i (Linux)

HI there,

I use LINUX REDHAT 6.1 and follow the installation carefully. The weird thing is after I intalled the software it was working just fine.

But I have the same problem after I REBOOT the machine. I check ENV, it is all fine.
Also, when I use dbassist &, it also tells me ORACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE. Would appreciate anyone helps me.
Thanks
