Cannot resolve ORA-02778: Name given for the log directory is invalid

597564Dec 29 2009 — edited Dec 29 2009
When issuing the command:

Startup nomount pfile=E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\database\INIThrv11d.ORA

I receive:

ORA-02778: Name given for the log directory is invalid

This error is usually fairly straight-forward, but I can't seem to figure out what is wrong here. I have checked all paths repeatedly, and they are all accessible and writable, but the error persists. I have attempted to run the Oracle service under my own username with no luck also (same error).

X: is a mapped drive. I am using Oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003 R2.

My startup pfile:

What should I be looking at next?
