When you execute _which_ exe file? Please
show the actual command and its actual
output.

who am i
ls -l /u01/app/oracle/10gr1/admin/pfile

What does "file /u01/app/oracle/10gr1/admin/pfile" show?
What HP-UX version are you running? What does "uname -a" show?

>>I have diffirent oracle user for installation

you will have to to check if you have execute permission for this file /u01/app/oracle/10gr1/admin/pfile to the user you running the exe.

May be you can try to set execute permission for all for this file and see if thats working.

BR,

Hello,

>/u01/app/oracle/10gr1/admin/pfile

pfile is the directory which contains the initialization parameters for your instance.
Would be best if this directory will be a sub-directory within a directory called afther the name of the instance. I mean that if you have an instance called prod, you will find the initialization file (maybe called init.ora or initprod.ora)under:

/u01/app/oracle/10gr1/admin/prod/pfile/

directory. Like this your work will be easy when you would run multiple instances on that server.

>permission denied:
This means that the instance can not acces the files under pfile directory. This directory must be chowned by the user that will start the instance.
