ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory

2737885Jun 22 2015 — edited Jul 2 2015

I downloaded the oracle webcenter linux VM and had a problem connecting to the database

when i try to connect to the db using sqlplus, i get the error.

ERROR:

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory

Process ID: 0

Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0

I have set my ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID. export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/db/ohome and ORACLE_SID=orcl. The same values set in my listener.ora and tnsnames.ora

My hosts file had 2 entries for 127.0.0.1, so i commented one and now only 1 localhost entry

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain

#127.0.0.1 webcenter.oracle.local

127.0.0.1 localhost

I restarted my vm after the changes but i still get the same error - ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist.

Appreciate if i could get help here resolving this problem and able to connect to my db.
