Password file auth - error ORA-01990: error opening password file '/p00/ora

Hi, Im setting up password file auth on our existing database.
Ive run this
orapwd file=orapwdt04.pwd password=secret entries=5
then set this in the .ora file
remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
But when I restart the dabase im getting this error
ORA-01990: error opening password file '/p00/oraprod/9.2.0/dbs/orapw'
How / where do I tell the database to look for the password file.
Im running on AIX and Oracle 9.2.0.6
thanks for looking.

password filename must be in the format of orapw<sid> and location of the file $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

  • Ora-01990 error in opening the password file

    Hi,
    I created a password file by using orapwd utility. Then later on I modified the remote_login_passwordfile in the spfile by giving the command:
    sql> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
    scope=spfile.
    Then it is altered. Later on I shutdown the database and When I was trying to connect to the databse again, I am getting the following errors.
    ORA-01990 error openeing the passowrd file.
    ORA-27037 unable to obtain file status
    linux error:2 no such file or directory.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I tried that also.It is giving ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile specified at startup.
    First Manually I deleted the password file and I set the remote_login_passwordfile=none in the parameter file and again I started the instance just by giving
    sql>startup open pfile='OraHome1/dbs/initRADHI.ora'
    then I tried to modify the the Remote_Login_PASSWORDFILE thru alter system set command.then it is giving the above error. then I again shutdown the DB and again I started without specifying the parameter file or spfile just saying sql>startup. Then also it is not taking the SPFILE to startup. why is so? Then also same error I am getting?
    ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile at startup. can anyone of you help me.
    Thanks,
    Have a nice day.

    I responded to your previous post. Look in ORACLE_HOME/bin for
    orapwd. Run this.

  • Configuration assistant error OPW-000001 cannot open password file

    Installing on RH9. The install gives a fail message on the configuration assistant portion. When I run dbca from the command line I get the error

  • I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • HP DESKJET INK ADVANT K209a-z, extraction fialed : error message "0 cannot open output file"

    D/Sir,
    I have extracted hp deskjet int advant k209a-z driver using 7zip.
    I was getting the error "Extraction Failed: Cannot Open Output File".  
    On extract with 7-zip, I get the message: 
        0 can not open output file "<folders>/Autorun.inf" 
    I am on business laptop with Windows XP but tried with Admininstrator login as well.
    Please help me. How to extract it sucessfully?

    That type of error message may be indicative of a bad file. Did you download it on the web? If so, try again, but do not use a download manager or program to do it, those can occasionally cause problems with compressed files.
    It could be possible, also, that some sort of security program on your laptop is blocking the extraction process. If that is the case you should be able to find some error in the Windows event viewer through the control panel.

  • Output Designer 5.7 Errors - Error 1804 Unable to open configuration file

    Hi...Receiving error messages on accessing newly installed Output Designer 5.7.   Installed on new Win7 laptop.
    Error # 5903 -  You must select a Printer before saving.
    Error # 1804 - Unable to open configuration file "....\Config\PDF.ICF"
    The last error, Error # 1804, closes out the application.   File does not exist within the path.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Elena.

    Hi Elena
    This is most likely caused by missing admin rights on Win 7. I have seen this problem within my company.
    When installing Adobe Output Designer it will be placed in %ProgramFiles% which is your C:\Program Files folder.
    In subfolder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Output Designer 5.7\Config there are many configuration files that controls your printer drivers (Presentment targets). Dependent on what user type you are in Win 7 you might not have write access to files in this folder. When you cannot write to this folder you cannot make changes to your printer drivers or install new ones and you are pretty much stuck.
    Solution: Create folder C:\MyPrograms and install Adobe Output Designer here.
