Carrie,

My first thought is to check permissions on the file and directory. Also make sure your init file is named with the format initSID.ora where SID is your instance name. The instance name will be case sensitive in UNIX/Linux, so keep that in mind.

Hopefully that will get you through. If you can give a little more detail I can try to help more.

Good luck.
