Problems installing Oracle Database Express Edition 11g

Question

I\'m trying to install Oracle Database in (X)ubuntu 13.04 64-bit using this guide. Everything goed well until I get to the following step:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ora         


        

Answer 1

I struggled with this too. I have tried a few different solutions, but still got the problem. I "fixed" it by removing memory_target from the database configuration:

sqlplus / as sysdba
create pfile=‘’ from spfile 
!vi 

Add # in front of the line with memory_Target, save and close file.

startup from pfile=‘'
create spfile from pfile=‘’

This solution works nice with my XE database, hope it helps.
