Having installed 8.1.7 on Solaris I attempted to create a database using DCA. This started creating the database and then gave:- ORA-01034: ORACLE not available.

Looking in /data/Ora8i/admin/ilsmast/create I found a log file and script. I assume the script is what was created and the log file the result. The script starts off:-

#!/bin/sh
ORACLE_SID=ilsmast
export ORACLE_SID

/data/Ora8i/bin/svrmgrl << EOF
spool /data/Ora8i/admin/ilsmast/create/crdb2.log connect internal
@/data/Ora8i/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql;

REM ********** ALTER SYSTEM TABLESPACE ********* ALTER TABLESPACE SYSTEM
DEFAULT STORAGE ( INITIAL 64K NEXT 64K MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED PCTINCR
EASE 50);
ALTER TABLESPACE SYSTEM
MINIMUM EXTENT 64K; and the log file:-

Connected.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
grant execute on STANDARD to public
*

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
create or replace view v_$dlm_misc as select * from v$dlm_misc

The documentation on the error message implies that there should be other error messages to help identify the cause, but no. Can anyone offer any insight?
