Re: ora-03121 error

There's possibly 2 sides here, server and OWS (comments inline)

Startup from where - OWS, too, or svrmgr80?

Not when creating a DAD, I suppose?

Do you have one? It's an option when installing 804 for NT.

That's OWS again - not RDBMS

Get NT SP3 (_not_ SP4!), and install it. If you have OWS 3.0.0.1.8, get a patch - there's a problem in the WRB - don't have
the bug# here.

OK - check if all services are up; for OWS you'll need something like OracleWWWListenerAdmin and
OracleWWWListenerwebsvr, plus a lot more. If the Admin one is not running, you cannot do
any administrative tasks like Default install, Create DAD, etc. You should also indentify what port you're using, default is 9999 for the admin tasks. Try:
http://your_machine_name.your.domain:9999 - that should get you to the admin pages.
