Hi,

I have finally managed to install Oracle 8i 8.1.6 successfully - no errors and everything worked well. I created the database and although it took years, it was finally created.

Then the documentation asked me to install the patchset for 8.1.6 rel 2.

(patchset 8.1.6.2.1)

I downloaded the patchset and installed it correctly. It even said successful.
Then I rebooted the machine for the install to take effect and now it does not work.

# Svrmgl and that comes up with the SVRMGL>
# lsnrctl and that works properly as well..

# sqlplus - asks for username and password and then says oracle not
available ORA-01034

Would you know why this has happened?.
Probably, Should I execute catalog.sql and catproc.sql?. I still would not be able to do that unless SQLPLUS comes up!!.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks
