Re: Oracle 8.1.5i on Linux - can't create a database!

I had this problem yesterday.

It turned out to be a combination of everything being owned by the group oinstall rather
than dba (which I changed to dba ) and not setting up the correct permissions for various ORACLE_HOME
directories as detailed in the install guide. Finally the NLS_LANG parameter values are wrongly documented.
Leave it out for the time being and it will default US7ascii.

That should solve it.

Regrds,
