Did you do this in the mount state

alter database archivelog; This does the mode permanent to DB.

Then check up by typing as follows

svrmgr>log archive list

See whether it shows as follows

DATABASE LOG MODE as Acrhive mode and
AUTOMATIC archival as Enabled

Shutdown the DB in normal or immediate

Take a full closed DB bck

Startup and open the DB.

All other 3 parameters is what you have done is ok in init.ora.

I understand the path should be wrong in your case.Dont recomment do the steps as described above i am sure you will get across.


Cheers
