ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

698957Apr 29 2009 — edited May 11 2009
I know this has been answered many times but I can just not make it work. I installed Oracle and all ran fine, very small DB, until the server was rebooted. I had to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again. When the server was rebooted I received the error again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...ed


Here's the details.

I'm running Oracle 10.2 on Win2003 Server

I have oracle installed in c:\ora102

I have not changed any init files.

I have 2 environment variables set:
ORACLE_HOME=C:\ora102
ORACLE_SID=ORACLE

I tried upper and lower case for the oracle_sid value

--------------------------

Listener.ora:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORACLE)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\ora102)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Win2003Server)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
