Re: difference in init<SID>.ora between Linux and Solaris?

Did you start the database? That's why you are getting the ORA-01034 message. After you start server manager, issue the STARTUP NOMOUNT command. Then you should be able to create your database. Until you issue the STARTUP NOMOUNT command, your INIT.ORA file isn't even being read!
