Oracle user can't see all files in a folder. Why?

I've installed oracle 10g (32 bit) in Oracle EL (32 bit). When I attempt to start the database from the oracle user, it throws the following error:
ORA-01078:failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109:could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
As an oracle user I checked the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and found these two files visible:
initdw.ora & init.ora
But as root user i found the following files existing in the directory:
hc_orcl.dat, initdw.ora, init.ora, lkORCL.ora, orapworcl & spfileorcl.ora
echo $ORACLE_SID returns the value as "orcl".
I followed the possible issues from the following thread:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
and
http://mohamedazar.com/2010/04/27/ora-01078-failure-in-processing-system-parameters/
but since the files are not visible for the user, but available to the root, what are the possible solutions that I should try for?

Hi Alvaro,
I've given full permissions to the user
As oracle user:
[oracle@localhost dbs]$ ls -ltr
total 36
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 8385 Sep 11 1998 init.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 12920 May 3 2001 initdw.ora
[oracle@localhost dbs]$
As root user:
[root@localhost dbs]# ls -ltr
total 68
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 8385 Sep 11 1998 init.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 12920 May 3 2001 initdw.ora
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 1544 May 8 19:48 hc_orcl.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 24 May 8 19:49 lkORCL
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 1536 May 8 19:52 orapworcl

    Why can't I see some files from my PC iCloud drive folder on my iPad?

    DOWNLOAD SAFARI AND RE-INSTALL to fix maps in IPhoto Places '09  8.1.2
    I too lost my IPhoto Places maps on June 2nd.  Initially I used Best Buy's Geek Squad tech support.  The second tech was able to fix the problem.  He said there was a corrupt file in Safari, not IPhoto. However, I didn't know what he did to fix the problem.
    A week later, the maps were gone again.  I tried to contact the same Geek Squad tech, but no luck.  I talked to several other techs, but they could not find a solution, even though I told them about Safari.  The last tech directed me to this web page.
    It was here I learned about turning the WiFi off and on.  That restored the maps to the pictures, but not the Big map.
    Today, at the Apple Store Genuis Bar, I was told they were unaware of this problem.  When I mentioned that Safari was where the problem was, he suggested I download Safari from the Apple Web page and re-install.
    So far this is working!    So happy all of the maps after two plus weeks.
    I hope this helps others too,

  • How can I see all files used in a Report or Transaction

    I need an expert advice. I am not an Abap  programmer but probably this is the the correct forum to post my question.
    I need to create a Query using same files that are used in report S_ALR_87012103 and some other additional files.
    Is there any transaction or functionallity that I can use to see the files used by this report ?
    << Removed - please do not offer rewards >>
    Thx. in advance for your help

    Thanks for your message. I just reviewed the files in SE36.
    So I guess, next time I will have to check the name of the program in the status bar or the system status screen.
    Then, I will have to use SE38 in DEV to see the "Dictionary Structures" in the source code.
    However, on this case, I can not find the "KDF" in the source code or "Dictionary Structures".
    Other than you technical expertise ... How did you know that this program is using the KDF Logical Database.
    On my case, since I am not an Abap programmer, I would have to review all files described in the "Dictionary Structures" which by the way they are a bunch of files.
    I prefer the logical view. I liked the way the files are displayed using the SE36 and "KDF"

  • How can I see all files of my hard drive? it is 1TB and don't have any documents in it yet, and it says that it is only 200GB free

    In my apple store, they replaced my hard-drive. Now, it is only 273GB free instead of almost all my 1TB. I can't see what are the files with such a size!

  • On Win7 computer, how can I see all files on iPod touch?

    I have an iPod touch 4.3.5 (8L1), model MC540C. When it's plugged into my Windows 7 computer, I want to be able to see all the files (not just the photos). What must i do to see all the files?
    My ultimate purpose is to copy one file: the voice recording I created in the Voice Memos application. (The audio file is too big to be sent via email.)

    Illass,
    Thank you for your reply.

  • HT2531 How can I see a file's enclosing folder.

    Often I just need to know where a file is, not to open it.  If I go to Spotlight, how can I see what its enclosing folder is?  I think this used to pop up when hovering over a file name in Spotlight. 
    Thankyou.

    If you are talking about the spotlight search in the upper right of the finder window it still has the tooltip that shows you the full pathname of what you are pointing at in the list.
    If you select spotlights show all then the pathname is outlined at the bottom of the spotlight window and you can double click any of the items along that path to open that item.

  • I can't see .MP3 files in a folder?

    Hello, I recently just got a MacBook Pro Retina and I wanted to put all of my music on is (908 songs) but when I added the folder of music to my mac, none of the files show up in the folder. I also tried waiting, thinking maybe it would take a long time to load. Still nothing. How can I fix this?
    Long Explanation:
    I just took exactly 908 songs from my PC put all of them into a single folder, put onto my external hard drive and then put the entire folder on my mac. I then proceeded to drag the folder into iTunes. I then realized that iTunes had only picked up 321 of the songs. So I deleted everything, and re-added all the songs to my iTunes after converting them all to MP3's (Did this on the PC.) I added all the songs again my empty iTunes. This time 535 of the songs were added. I deleted everything from iTunes AGAIN (by moving to trash, not just from the library), and re-added the folder of MP3s to my mac. This time I figured i could see what was in the folder before I added them to iTunes to see what was maybe going wrong, but when I open the folder nothing is there. It's just empty.

    Hello Just So Pro,
    It sounds like you are copying your folder correctly and adding it to iTunes, but there seems to be an issue with writing to the hard drive of your Mac from your external drive. I would perform a Safe Boot, then restart and test the issue again so the computer can check the disk and reset some things:
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.

  • FSRM - Can I see all files of a particular type in File Group - Server 2012 R2

    Hi folks,
    Just wondering can anyone help me with this!
    I've selected a Files by File Group report and selected Audio and Video Files, Executable Files and image files but when I set the maximum number of files in any file group per report to 999999999 (max allowed) it only says the top 100 files are shown
    in the following file groups.
    Is there any way that I can tweak FSRM so it shows me all the files in that particular file group that has over 100 files on the drive that I am scanning?
    Thanks,
    Bonemister

    Hi Bonemister,
    As you said it is a limitation of FSRM in current version. It will only display top 100 files. I'm sure that development team know the requirement of showing more files in report but currently there is no news about an upgrade version. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • Pages for iPad, can't see all files

    I'm having some trouble with my iPad and I may have to do a full reset.  (you can read about the saga here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15034366#15034366).  Most of my apps won't launch, including Pages, Keynote, etc.  But before I do, there are a few files I'd like to retrieve from the device. 
    But well before this trouble happened, I recall that when I connected the iPad to my Mac, launched iTunes under Apps > File Sharing > Pages I only saw a portion of the docs I know I have in my Pages on the iPad.  This didn't concern me at the time, as I had a lot of those docs in other places.  But now I am trying to get to the actual files that I know must be on the device.  In the iPad, Pages saves whenever you close and go back to "My Documents."  So I know these must be saved somewhere...as I've been able to retrieve them from the iPad itself.  I feel like there must be something with Pages and how it stores data in iPad. 
    Any ideas are welcome. 
    Thanks!

    the iwork apps store your files locally, not in the folder that is seen by iTunes. You must export from the individual iworks apps using "Export to iTunes". This will allow them to be seen in itunes for saving back to your computer. I you added a file through itunes you need to use the import into the local space by using the "import from iTunes" option.
    Since you arent able to launch the apps, you might have lost those files. I am in the habit of using the "export to iTunes" anytime that I have made significant changes that I know would be devastating to lose. Thats my "backup" location.
    Whatever you do, dont delete the apps until after you have retreived everything you can through itunes. Deleting the apps deleted both the local space files and the iTunes files in the 'backup' folder I believe.

  • How can I see all files I have checked out?

    Is it possible to automatically check-in everything I
    currently have checked out with Dreamweaver? At work I have a very
    large site with hundreds of files in a complex directory structure.
    I probably have a dozen or so files currently checked out. Would be
    nice to just check in everything so I know I'm not preventing my
    co-workers from working on any files I accidentally left
    checked-out. Thanks!

  • Windows Server 2008r2 - Users somtimes can't see new files in folders unless a new file is created.

    Hello Folks!
    My users sometimes have a problem that user A sometimes can't see a file created or copied by user B to a directory within a share they can both access. Both are within the same group which grants them Full Access on the share, settings for permissions are
    correctly set to be applied on directories, subdirectories and files.. Confusingly, this can be fixed when user A creates some kind of file (empty .txt, for example); the "missing" files will suddenly appear.
    Windows Server 2008r2, DC
    Windows File Server 2008r2, shares and files are located here.
    ABENUM activated, needed for several folders.
    The Domain-Admin Account is able to see all the files all the time.
    Anybody got an idea what I could check?
    Thank you very much!
    Kind regards,
    Boris

    Hi,
    When you use user A access the shared folder, did you do the refresh to check the result?

  • TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has.  One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

    Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
    Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
    There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
    One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

    Either of these should help.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.
