I have two databases. One is production and the other is standby on the same host. I do all primary work and if I do anything committed in the production database, one archive log is created which is automatically transferred to the standby database. But the archive log is not updating, even if I shut down the standby database and restart using: 
startup nomount pfile=".............../initsid.or"
alter database mount standby database;
recover database managed standby database;
alter database open read only;
I tried all these but the archive log is not updating. Can you please help?

Did you start your standby in managed recovery mode? Try the following in your standby database: 
STARTUP NOMOUNT
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;
I would recommend reading the Data Guard documentation as this is covered in much more detail.
