"Shared Realm does not exist" means "No shared memory has been set up for the instance". The rest of your stuff is useless if you don't have an instance (of that name) available.

Suggest you erase everything related to Oracle on your system and start from scratch. You've missed a step - the one about shmmax and sem.

OR ... If you didn't miss it, you are trying to put too many instances (or other things that use shared memory) on your machine and you need to read the INSTALL Guide to learn the calculations for these kernel parms.

Finally, a client (such as SQL Plus, ODBC, etc) uses TNSNAMES.ora and does not need or care about LISTENER.ora Received on Tue Jan 13 2004 - 16:26:30 CST
