Re: starting Oracle on Linux

Hi,

did you create a database after installation? Do you know the SID of the database?

If so do the following:

log in as oracle software owner (the one under whom you installed the software)
export ORACLE_SID=your_SID
set the environment according to your installation (ORACLE_HOME, PATH, ORA_NLS33, etc.)
svrmgrl
> connect internal
> startup

If there are no ORA-xxx errors and the last message reads "database open" then you´ve done it.
Configure your listener.ora and the tnsnames.ora (please reade the ora manuals for this)
Start the listener
lsnrctl start

From this point (if all was configured ok) you should be able to connect using sqlplus from any point in your network.
