What version of the database (to 4 decimals, please)
What OS?
How did you connect? (showing error messages is good, but the mean MUCH more when given in context - including the command that resulted in the error.

Hello All,

When I investigate properly, then found that, location => oracle_home/database is having initXE.ora which was pointing to dbs/spfileXE.ora.

So I renamed the pfile and created new pfile with the help of alert log and started it with nomount command.
It's started. Then I create spfile and it got resolved. Other new alter command is executed from alert log.

Now database is up and running. Oracle XE pfile and spfile was having different location but logic is same Smile

That is standard and expected. Additionally, you don't need an instance to be started to create a spfile from a pfile or vice versa.

Database was down because of wrong parameters values executed. It was not getting started even. So, I had renamed the old Pfile and created the newest one with the help of alert log.

Do, I have done anything wrong? Please suggest...

You didn't show us what you did. You told us what you think you did, so we'll never know.
