this will sound really daft but I have copied and run the create database script from an existing database and got a file which I hope to run on a new server. I have this create db script from metalink. however when I run this I get the message saying oracle is not available. anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this.

I have an ORACLE_HOME, and ORACLE SID and an ORACLE_BASE. when I connect to sqlplus '/ as sysdba' I connect to an idle instance.

What CREATE DATABASE command are you talking about? The init.ora file would define the locations of the control files. Maybe the script you have does not have this?
