oracle database instances not starting

[Hamdy Al-Sebaey]

Hi Rick,
To start the listener,try this;
su - oracle,
#home/oracle>lsnrctl start.

Also U can stop &start your DB in archive mode;
#su - oracle
#ome/oracle>svrmgrl
#svrmgr>connect internal
#svrmgr>alter system archive log stop
#svrmgr>alter system archive log start
#svrmgr> exit
#home/oracle>sqlplus system/11std653@(the name of your DB)
#sql>exit
#home/oracle>exit
I hope it'll help;
Good luck
Hamdy
