I just installed Oracle 9i on a WinNT 4 server. It already had 8.1.6. I installed Oracle 9 into a different home. The service/instance starts. When I try to connect via sqlplus / to create a database I get ORA-27101 "Shared Memory Realm Does Not Exist" . I have the oracle_sid set correctly. Any ideas as I have tried all I know but still get the same error.
