Access denied when trying to start Oracle Service

[l-ellison]

Hi all!

Following the steps from "Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Getting
Started for Windows NT" in order to create my XXX database:

+ I installed Oracle 8.0.5 without any Database.
+ I rebooted
+ I created initXXX.ora
+ C:\MYDIR> ORADIM80 -NEW -SID XXX -INTPWD PASSWORD -STARTMODE AUTO
-PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITXXX.ORA

I want to start OracleServiceXXX:
> NET START OracleServiceXXX

I get this error:
*****************
System error 5
Access denied
*****************

Any suggestion?

Hi,

I suggest you to reboot your system and then try again. Sometimes after the creation of the password file, you need to reboot to start the service because the system doesn´t detect the changes.

Hope that helps
