I installed the Oracle 11g server on Ubuntu 12.10. But I can't start the server. When I start up the server, the following error occurs:
SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/dbs/initXE.ora'
How can I solve this issue? I think the connect failed because target host or object does not exist. How can a target host be specified?
Running:
$ ls -latr /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/dbs/initXE.ora
returns:
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 2637 Mar 13 17:07 /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/dbs/initxe.ora
Running echo $ORACLE_SID
displays nothing - an empty line.
ls initXE.ora
will not returninitxe.ora
. Unix is case sensitive.
