Yes, the poster clarified that it was a missing controlfile. I have a reply that catered to the missing controlfile issue.

Hmm, I think the error is right there in a snippet fo the alert log in

The database will not start because Oracle cannot find or access one

Are all the postings today about controlfiles?
