Re: HELP - ORACLE Install Problem R6000 3.2.5 Oracle 7.3.2

Well installing Oracle isnt that easy !
Its better to follow your feeling, than teh manual. Especially when you set up Oracle the first time it can be frustrating.
But check this:

• if your oracle is up and running try to connect via sqlplus. If this works dont worry about the warnings at sqlplus startup, that is because you have not defined a user profile.
• make sure you have set the right owners and permissions for the oracle directories ( dba)
• make sure you have set up the necessary files for sqlnet: /etc/tnsnames.ora /etc/listener.ora
• make sure the listener is running if you want to make a remote connection to the database ( use lsnrctl program to check)
• check the log files in location ../xx/udump ../xx/bdump
• check the log file: alertDB_NAME.xxx in ORACLE_HOME
• make sure you have set the environment variables: ORACLE_HOME, NLS_LANG

hope this helps a bit
