Re: Invalid Password File when creating a new database

Hi,
I think you have set remote_password_file=exclusive in your initSID.ora, so when you try to create the db, the instance search the password file in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
You can:
1) Create a new password file before you create the db (with the command
-->orapwd file=orapwSID password=yourpassword entries=NumberOfEntries
in your $ORACLE_HOME/dbs )
2) Set remote_password_file=none in your initSID.ora before you create the db
Hope this helps you Received on Mon Nov 04 2002 - 02:09:16 CST
