Re: New Oracle 9i installation

Hi!

Thanks for the reply. After having read a few documents scattered around various news groups and on otn.oracle.com I tried to change the "processes" parameter in init.ora. That seems to have gotten rid of the ORA-03113 error.

However now when I use the startup command in sqlplus I get the following:

ORA-24324: service handle not initialized ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist

If I look in the log file "alert_0901DB.log" (I'm not sure if this is the right file to look in...) I see the following:

Tue Nov 27 16:40:42 2001
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/rdbms/log/ora_5442.trc: ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [strcpy()+64] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [strcpy()+64] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x0] [] [] ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [lrmtrm()+43] [SIGSEGV] [Address not mapped to object] [0x40585050] [] [] ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/dbs/initO901DB.ora'

I'm absolutely without clues so any help is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Morten

PS: The file '/u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.1/dbs/initO901DB.ora' didn't exist so I tried to create it and change permissions to 777 but it didn't change anything. I guess Oracle expects to be able to read something from this file?
