Why cannot start database?

Hi, everyone:
I have intalled Ora 9.2.0.1 system and generate database successful under RedHat 8.0, but can not start database (because no messages display after run the dbstart), if login at sqlplus, it will display two error message:
"ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"
"ORA-27010: shared memory realm does not exist".
I have setted the memory parameter of kernel in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
echo 250 32000 100 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
echo 671088640 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax.
How can resolve the problem? My system has 512M RAM, PIV 1.7G CPU and the swap space is 640M.
Thanks very much!

First of all, how are you starting up the Engine? Did you setup an init script, if that's true can you post it. Try to start manually (dgmgrl), to see if everything is ok. If you see a problem ( like -> "can't find init file"), then I realize, the answer which could help you.

This is your problem.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError:
Can't connect to X11 window server using 'local_host:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
The installer can not connect to a display device. Fix the DISPLAY variable and it'll work, or at least get ot the next step. (How to fix ... this is one for Google.)
Edit: Make sure you have the version of openmotif specified in the install manual, not just the default one included with the OS.

SPFILE Damaged, Cannot Start Database

hi experts,
This is 9.2i on Windows.
I have corrupted my SPFILE for this 9i db (I think that's my problem)
Within RMAN, I've tried to Startup mount; That gives error ORA-16032 "parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST destination string cannot be translated"
I have tried:
set dbid = aaaa;
startup force nomount; - this gives error
Also tried just startup nomount - get same error
SPFILE is on autobackup.
But I have to get the db mounted before I can run:
restore spfile from autobackup; am I correct?
I seem to be trapped. Thanks for any help. John

Emergency: cannot start database because redo logs have been deleted

Hi. Ok, so the redo logs are deleted and I don't have a backup. Fine, whatever. I am trying to just start my database and start the logging from scratch.
ORA-00320: cannot read file header from log 1 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/u01/oradata/orcl/redo01.log'
ORA-27069: attempt to do I/O beyond the range of the file
Here's what my log files look like:
select group#, thread#, status from v$log;
GROUP# THREAD# STATUS
1 1 ACTIVE
4 1 UNUSED
3 1 UNUSED
2 1 CURRENT
I have group 3 and 4 just sitting there. I would love to switch logging from group 1 to group 4 (which I just created) so I can drop the corrupted group 1 but when I try:
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
alter system switch logfile
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01109: database not open
Of course the database is not open because I can't get it started. So, I'm in kind of a catch 22.

I think you need to restore your database. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/osadvsce.htm#CACFFJFB says:
>
Losing an Active Online Redo Log Group
If the database is still running and the lost active redo log is not the current log, then issue the ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT statement. If the operation is successful, then the active redo log becomes inactive, and you can follow the procedure in "Losing an Inactive Online Redo Log Group". If the operation is unsuccessful, or if your database has halted, then perform one of procedures in this section, depending on the archiving mode.
The current log is the one LGWR is currently writing to. If a LGWR I/O operation fails, then LGWR terminates and the instance fails. In this case, you must restore a backup, perform incomplete recovery, and open the database with the RESETLOGS option.

why does Adobe Download assistant cannot start downloading?

That is likely due to your software firewall not allowing access. Do you receive any specific error messages? Which operating system are you using?

Starts up but ORA-205 cannot mount database

I dont seem to understand. I run windows 98 and installed oracle 8i Personal Edition.
First,I cannot get scott and tiger to log me Senond, going in as Database Administrator to start database, it starts but does not mount - 'ORA-205, CANNOT MOUNT DATABASE,
Could a 64 meg ram machine not be enough as it recommends 96 meg.
or
Could it be because at a certain stage duirng installation, it detects there is an older database which it wants me to migrate, but which i bypassed as I prefer to start anew. I see it is not by force to migrate if you do not want to.
Could someone be of help please.
null

I think you could identify the database ALERT file to find what might cause the error.
The alert file is default located in:
$ORACLE_HOME/admin/bdump
Try to find it, and see what happened.

Cannot start weblogic server anymore after conf. jena for oracle database

Hi,
My weblogic server 10.3.4.0 installed in oracle developer days in oralce linux guest was able to start before using the oracle user account. Following the seman. tech. dev. guide, I set up jena adapter for oracle in my guest linux system. Since the oracle user doesn't have permission to copy folders into the autodeploy directory in weblogic server, so I login as root to copy the joseki.war folder into the autodeploy directory. However, after that, I am not able to start the weblogic server console anymore using the oracle user account. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Why can't I back up ,y iPhone 5. In iTunes it tell me it cannot start a session to back-up!

When I sync the iPhone 5, I get an error mess saying "cannot start a session" when it trys to bask it up. THe sync goes well excpt for backing it up, what is causing this as I need to back-up my phone?

How long are you leaving it to backup and how fast is your internet connection?
Backing up 3GB of data to a remote server can take many, many hours, especially if your internet up-speed is slow.

Cannot start RAC DB using srvctl start database

Hello Fellows,
We used to have a 10.1.0.4 RAC DB on top of CRS 10.1.0.4 on top of Sun cluster 3.1 on both Sun Solaris SPARC 64-bit 5.9 nodes.
We :
- Unregisted the current RAC DB from the 10.1.0.4 CRS.
- Removed the CRS 10.1.0.4 permanently and cleanly
- Installed a new Clusterware 10.2.0.1 and patched to 10.2.0.4 + patch 8705958.
- CRS servcies are healthy and up :
$ crs_status.sh
ora.tibisdb1.LISTENER_TIBISDB1.lsnr ONLINE ....etc for all other services
Now we are trying to upgrade the RAC DB from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.
When i started the DBUA it i chose the cluster mode and then DBUA tried to startup both DB instances but it failed. To reproduce this, i registed the databse TIBIS with the 2 instances to the CRS and then tried to startup the DB but it failed:
$ crs_status.sh

BTW, i can open the instances fine through SQLPLUS.
I did a full SRVCTL trace for the command and got the same errors above only.
I also followed also Note :Note : 814896.1
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
2. rename the original library (if exists)
mv libskgxp10.so libskgxp10.so.old
3. Relink to configure UDP for IPC
make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ipc_udp ioracle
4. Check whether the library exists
ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libskgxp10.so
Same result when try to SRVCTL START DATABASE -D TIBIS
RECENT CHANGES:
- Unregisted the current 10.1.0.4 RAC DB from the 10.1.0.4 CRS.
- Removed the CRS 10.1.0.4 permanently and cleanly
- Installed a new Clusterware 10.2.0.1 and patched to 10.2.0.4 + patch 8705958.

Mail server log says: master[50]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services...

Recently, after a year or more of relatively smooth service, my OS X Server 10.4.11 Mail services has been locking up daily.
I was finally able to get some information from the log files (I am a noob to this) and saw the following right after my most recent reboot of the server:

I checked the server and that directory is indeed there on the partition named "DATA", so I am baffled as why the server does not thing the configuration directory exists?

It's good to know that the message I am getting from the mail server about the configuration files is only a temporary thing. Although I find it strange that the mail service doesn't know where its config files are since it is specified in the mail server setup.
I looked at the log files you mentioned and do not see anything that looks like a specific problem with the mail services themselves.
Recently, however, I have been having recurring problems where my mail server and my Web/Database server have both become unresponsive at nearly the same time even though they are on different class A networks to where I cannot access them via ARD, Server Admin and even SSH. That is usually when my mail server goes offline. I was afraid it was because of that configuration error I was seeing, but think now that the problem could be something else entirely (maybe some kind of network problem or denial of service hacking attack, no idea).
Thanks again.

Error message in Command line (cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode)

Hello Experts
I'm new in Oracle and trying to connect to my database though SQL command line. After I login as SYS I user I get the message that 'connected to idle instance'. Then I use “STARTUP” to connect to database. Now from my understanding it should mount the database and open it as well. But it does'nt happens.Instead I get the message 'cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode' . I'm not sure why it can't mound the database and what should I do to make it working. Please can somebody show me how to make it working again. Here are the details about my problem
Enter user-name: SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password:
Connected to an idle instance.

ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you so much for both of you. I've checked everything. All looks fine to me and then i tried to connect though SQL and it worked. Now what I've notice that this time I didn't start Enterprise Manager only I started the listner and then start sql it worked. Does this means that I can't use both SQL and EM at a time together?

ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode

Hello,
I am working with an Oracle VM Template: Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 WebCenter (x86 32-bit). In this template exists an Oracle database (version: 10.2.0.3.0), I am trying to do something operation (ie create a new user, query a system template, etc) but I can't because I have ORA-01102 error.
I have DB and listener up :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin

I have export environment variables:
export ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/
export ORACLE_SID = orcl
+export PATH = ${ORACLE_HOME}bin:${PATH}+
Then I connect to DB:
sqlplus> connect / as sysdba
+sqlplus> shutdown {abort/immediate}+
ORA-01507: database not mount+
ORACLE instance shutdown
+sqlplus> startup {mount}+
ORACLE instance startup
ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode+
So, I have checked listener.ora and tnsnames.ora and they are OK, so I don't know why I can't access to the DB.
Any idea/suggestion is welcome!
Thank you in advance and regards,
Mónica.

Cannot start OC4J process using opmnctl

opmn startall hangs and times out with error on OC4J_SECURITY
Posted: Oct 3, 2008 9:46 AM Reply
FYI.
A few days ago our system drive, on our Development system, crashed and we had to rebuild it.
All of our Oracle Installations remained intact,
But
I've had to: modify kernel parameters, install packages, etc., similar to pre-install procedures.
After re-creating some of the oracle specific files in the /etc and /usr/local/bin directories
I've been able to get our databases up and running.
But
I cannot start all of the necessary processes for our Application Server.
It hangs for several minutes then returns this error message:
ias-component/process-type/process-set:
OC4J/OC4J_SECURITY/default_island
Error
--> Process (pid=6304)
time out while waiting for a managed process to start
Log:
/oracle6/app/oracle/product/10.1.2as/opmn/logs/OC4J~OC4J_SECURITY~default_island~1
There is no helpful information in the, above mentioned, log file.
opmnctl status displays this information:
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
======================================
OC4J | OC4J_SECURITY | 0 | NONE
??? My thoughts are:
1. I've neglected to re-create a necessary Oracle specific file on the system drive, or
2. This is a port access issue due to firewalls or something of that nature.
Can you please help me here?
Thanks- Gary

Thank you for the info.
Also
I forgot to add one additional thought:
Could it be a linking issue, to some of the library files??
I don't know why this thought has crossed my mind,
but I know in times passed, (probably from years ago), I have had to do a relink of some sort to resolve
whatever issue it happened to be at the time.
I'd appreciate you thoughts on the 'relink' idea.
In the meantime, I will double check myself on having satisfied all of the necessary install requirements.
Thanks again- Gary
