I just completed a fresh Install of Oracle10g for Linuxx86.I can start and stop the data base using the Enterprise Manager web gui.

When I try and start or stop the database using sqlplus I get:

SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
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/initoracle.ora'    

Also on a reboot the data base fails to start. I do have Y in /etc/oratab.

dbs directory contains these: initdw.ora  init.ora  spfileorcl.ora
 init.ora seems to be a generic sample and doesn't work for me.

Howdy, Stranger!
