PiotR Welcome to the list. I don't work with Linux, but it shouldn't be different from any other Unix in this aspect.
First, make sure your environment variables for ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set correctly. Your PATH variable should include $ORACLE_HOME/bin. >From the command line, sqlplus /nolog connect sys as sysdba; startup This should work. If you encounter an error, reply with the details of the error. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP Lifetouch, Inc.
