Oracle 11g install on Debian Wheezy does not start I successfully installed Oracle 11g R2 on my laptop for evaluation, by mixing various sources of documentation. I saw the Oracle daemons after installation.
But I have a few problems :


After a reboot, the instance does not start, and does not even create
a log file. (only the TNSLSNR starts).
The oracle user's ORACLE_SID gets a default value (AL32UTF8) where
the value I set in the /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh initialisation script
is INFO (created during install). Where does this come from?
Where can I start investigating?


Thanks for your help.

Note : Only one line not commented out in the /etc/oratab file :


  INFO:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N


Best regards,

Fred
Edit your /etc/oratab file to read:

INFO:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y


I guess it's just one of those things you need to know to look for!
