Oracle is still not available

Question

Hi
This is help request #2 (#1 was Oracle not available???)
Maybe it's on me and i'm to stupid to make it work, but it has
to work.
First thanx to the contributions to #1
OK, i still need an access to our oracle805 DB via network. My
listener is running and "lsnrctl status"
tells me that my oracle instance has 1 service handler. so i
guess it is working fine. My instance is running, 'cause i can
login via sqlplus <login>/<password>. BUT it dosen't work in a
loopback like sqlplus <login>/<password>@<SID>
By doing this i get an "ORACLE is not available" error - and
this doesn't make any sense to me. The environment (ORACLE_SID
and ORACLE_HOME) is set correctly.
I don't know what i should do now and i really hope there is
somebody who can help me.
This is my listener.ora file
LISTENER=(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = <IP>)(Port = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = 127.0.0.1)(Port = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = oracle.world))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = <SID>))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = <SID>.world)))
SID_LIST_LISTENER=(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =(GLOBAL_DBNAME =<SID>.world)
(SID_NAME = <SID>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <$ORACLE_HOME>))
(SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = extproc)
(PROGRAM = extproc)))
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF
This is my tnsnamens.ora
<SID>.world =(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = <SID>))
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = <IP>)
(Port = 1521)))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = <SID>)))
Thanx in advance

I had the same problem once, my ORACLE_BASE directory
(/apps/oracle) had wrong permissions (I'can't remember te
correct ones, i believe i set it to 777)
