Thursday, April 30th, 2009

getting the error

ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment Linux Error: 13: Permission denied

on a CentOS 5 Oracle box, You can fix it with changing a file permission:

chmod 6751 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle

Dreadful, is’t it? 😉
