Re: ORA-27101:Shared memory realm does not exist when connecting to created database

Sounds to me like the instance has not been started. Try connecting as the SYS user with SYSDBA privileges (ie. "SYS/ORACLE AS SYSDBA" or whatever your password is. If you have not changed the SYS password, try ORACLE first).

Once connected, STARTUP.

Since you are running Oracle8i, I would suggest using Server Manager (command line: svrmgrl). If there are more serious errors or problems, they are typically easier to debug using this utility.

I hope this helps.
