This is my first oracle install, so bare with me. I get an error trying the following:

SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> startup
ORACLE instance started.

ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info

I checked the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initSID.ora file and found the line: control_files = "/data/oracleDB/oradata/MITE_ORA/control01.ctl",
"/data/oracleDB/oradata/MITE_ORA/control02.ctl",
"/data/oracleDB/oradata/MITE_ORA/control03.ctl")

I checked the status of these files, and none of them exist. Any suggestions? Received on Wed Apr 10 2002 - 17:20:55 CDT
