SQLPLUS login PB

[ptreves]

Hello,

When I try to login to sqlplus, I get this error message:
-----
Enter user-name: system
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory

Enter user-name:

What is this error about ? How can I solve this problem ?

Nighthawki didn't noticed you are using Linux, he/she probably thaught you are on Windows. So it was just an inappropriate terminology he used - read his answer as: "Start your database."

P.S.
Please do not delete your own threads as you recently did - it is a very selfish and inapropriate thing to do in open forums like this one. If you were brave enough to ask a question, be brave enough to leave it online once someone has taken his/her free time to answer to your problems. Other members might learn something from it in the future, don't you think?

Please accept my apology.
