cannot connect to database (10.2 XE) with old data files
745637Dec 28 2011 — edited Dec 30 2011Hi,
I was running my database for a while but a couple weeks back it started failing - as in I can no longer connect to it. I tried moving the datafiles (all files under \oraclexe\oradata\XE ) and reinstalling and that makes everything run again with the default database files but when stop the database and copy my old files back in and restart - presto I can no longer connect either by jdbc or by apex ( 127.0.0.1:8080/apex ). My css log file has this in it after I resttart the database and try to connect to apex:

2011-12-28 17:07:20.084: [ CSSCLNT][3280]clsssinit: error(33 ) in OCR initialization
So, how can I rescue my data or fix what I assume is a corrupted datafile? I had a backup on dvd but now I can't find the dvd so I'm stuck.
