Error starting up Oracle 10g database.

Question

Hi,
(I had shutdown my database by "shutdown abort")
Now i'm getting the following error while trying to startup Oracle 10g database version :- 10.2.0.1.0.
SQL> startup nomount
ORA-07345: The datafile name must not contain the string '..'.
I get the same error even for startup/ startup mount
currently i'm using only pfile for startup as there is no spfile in dbs directory.

Answer 1

Hi Kuljeet,
This is a very strange error, i know, controlfile contains are not read in "no mount" state of database... still i'm getting the error.
The contents of my pfile are as follows :-
