Re: Help! Cannot connect internal on SVRMGR30

Hi:

1. First look at your "initorcl.ora" file (It actually should be initORCL.ora), comment out any line which contains "password" such as

"remote_login_passwordfile"

2. Make sure your environment variable "ORACLE_SID" is set to ORCL, you can do at command line ORACLE_SID=ORCL

3. then you can start your svrmgrl, at prompt, just type:

connect internal

It should not ask you for password.

and then you can do

startup open

to bring up the database (if already exists) or to create a new db instance.
