what's causing this ORA-01034 error?

[kdunbar]

I've just installed Oracle 8.1.7. I just tried to create a new database and encountered an ORA-01034 error.

The database is running.
ps -ef | grep pmon returns the pmon process.
The listenter is running.
using svrmgrl I've started the database, created new users, stopped the database, and restarted

My env variables are correct. I've verified that the SID is orcl and the oracle home is in fact the proper home.

Why would I get 1034 errors? memory problems?? (not enough) How can I tell, or is this even the right tree to be barking up?

hummmm

K,

Please copy and paste the results of the following:

1) echo $ORACLE_SID
2) echo $ORACLE_HOME
3) your statistics resulting from your "startup" command.

If these results look okay, then Oracle suggests that a "relink all" may be appropriate.
