    Iam currently running a grep on the entire file system for the old db name. I'm wondering if I missed something. This wont be done for a few hours. Until then any other suggestions?

    out of ideas really,

    last thing I would try is jsust have rocky in the tnsnames file

    ROCKY =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 152.10.23.196)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = rocky.rocky)
    )
    )

    then try tnsping rocky and tnsping ROCKY.ADMISSIONS.MVC.EDU

    failing that, open a tar :-)

    I ended up creating a db on another linux box at the university and porting over the data. Took only a few hours and we were back up and running.

    I tried to create anther db on the same machine at first and I got all sorts of errors, so I said forget it. Things are looking good again.

    Davey tahnks again for all your help.
