Then check the environment variables. (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and the others that are mentioned in the manual.)

However, a 27101 is usually an indication that the Shared Memory has not been allocated - either gone or not enough. (In Linux kernels it is possible to set them temporarily and have the values disappear after reboot. Can't remember whether that's true with Solaris8.)

Also 'the 'successful installation' refers to the software install, not the database creation. (There should have been additional messages 'to retry' - also shown in the install log.) Try '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca' to (re-)create a database. Received on Wed Jan 14 2004 - 09:23:39 CST
