Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: ORA-27101 "Shared Memory Realm Does Not Exist"
Check memory on your server, you need to have enough physical RAM to hold
your SGA and the Oracle processes.
The services applet lies, sometimes it will say that a database NT service is running when in fact it is in a half-opened state. An easy way to test is to connect from the command line using sqlplus or (gasp!) svrmgrl. connect as internal or as sysdba.

I just installed Oracle 9i on a WinNT 4 server. It already had 8.1.6. I installed Oracle 9 into a different home. The service/instance starts. When I try to connect via sqlplus / to create a database I get ORA-27101 "Shared Memory Realm Does Not Exist" . I have the oracle_sid set correctly. Any ideas as I have tried all I know but still get the same error.
Thanks
Rick
