Attempt to get around creating a database
- sftp to my production box, download a copy of /ora8 directory
su -
- mv /ora8 /ora8.bkup
- Untar the /ora8 tar file.
- Hmm, maybe now it will work?
- Open an window as oracle,
- sqlplus internal
- SQL> startup
- SQL> exit
- That did seem to work. I'm now able to log in to sqlplus as the user and password combination for my ACS installation.
It seems like a cop-out, however. I'm not sure what I'd recommend for someone else in the same situation.
It's taken me almost all day just to install Oracle and Linux. I better continue on, before I have to leave work.
