/etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart gives you what you would expect; it shuts down down the DB and the listener and then starts them. The VPS has a dedicated 512MB and a burstable 2GB of memory. Oracle is set to start with the machine. It works perfectly in every environment i tried save the Go Daddy environment. ________________________________ From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of JD Austin Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 4:54 AM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Installing Oracle XE on a 64bit system - Free Beer tothe firstperson who correctly solves my problem!

How much memory do you have on the VPS? Do you have oracle set to start when the machine starts? Have you tried /etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart to see what happens? -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of JD Austin Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 10:07 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: Installing Oracle XE on a 64bit system - Free Beer to the firstperson who correctly solves my problem!
