Problem : ORA-01565: error in identifying file ‘?/dbs/[email protected]’
Hi,
i’ve installed a oracle 10g XE Database on my Debian lenny system. the installation process runs without any problems, also the configuration runs perfect.
after the login to sqlplus and startup command i get this error:
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
i’ve looked into the config for the location of the control file, but there are no config files
SQL> SHOW PARAMETERS control_files

control_files string /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/
product/10.2.0/server/dbs/ora_
control1, /usr/lib/oracle/xe/a
pp/oracle/product/10.2.0/serve
r/dbs/ora_control2
so i tried to create them with this result:
SQL> CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE DEFAULT RESETLOGS;
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE DEFAULT RESETLOGS
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file ‘?/dbs/[email protected]’
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
i’ve search the whole internet since days and haven’t found any solution. maybe somebody can help me on this.
Solution: ORA-01565: error in identifying file ‘?/dbs/[email protected]’
Did you set the Oracle environment?
export ORACLE_HOME=???
export ORACLE_SID=???
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
