Why your parameter file is called "initora9i.ora" ? the parameter file usually have to been called initSID.ora the I suppose your SID is ora9i, that's right ?
I think the problem come from variables, here the link to install oracle 9i on redhat 9 : http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141 Received on Wed Jan 21 2004 - 06:06:28 CST
