Need help starting up server.

I am using Oracle8i for Linux Starter Kit book. I am trying to get familiar with Oracle.

After several attempt I just finished installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Mandrake 8.1.

Sqlplus was running and I was able to do some queries. I shut down the computer and I started it up again and Oracle did not start up. The book says the way to start it up is to log in to sqlplus as

sys/oracle as sysdba

and issue the command

STARTUP OPEN The syntax 'sys/oracle as sysdba' does not appear to be correct.

What is the proper procedure to startup the server? Thanks... Received on Thu Dec 27 2001 - 08:17:39 CST
