Hi Bertrand,

First look for any error messages in the <sid>alrt.log file. That file is in your background_dump_dest directory, this is a parameter in init<sid>.ora
Alternatively
define ORACLE_SID
define ORACLE_HOME
run svrmgrl
do a connect internal
In a correct install this will work always. The message returned is connected to an idle instance.
Now do a startup mount (this is done to verify all the files you need are really there)
If that is successfull issue
alter database <db_name> open

Hth,

Sybrand Bakker, Oracle DBA
