Cannot connect via sqlplus as sysdba

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g setup on Redhat Enterprise v4. I was able to do everything I needed until I rebooted. Now I can't connect using sqlplus. I get error ora-01031 when I type "connect system/*** AS SYSDBA" Anyone know what why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

According to me this should be dba, why its showing the group as oracle?I'm not sure why it's showing up as oracle. Do I need to change this? As far as I can tell, oracle is a group that no user is a member of.
Did you ever able make connection using / as sysdba?On this computer, I don't think I ever logged in as sysdba other than just as a system user.
What group did you specify while installing the software?groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
usermod -g oinstall -G dba oracle
Pretty much followed http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRedHatAS4.php and the oracle docs on installation.

Cannot connect with "SYS@MYDB AS SYSDBA"

Hello,
I logged in as os user oracle and do:
sqlplus "SYS@MYDB AS SYSDBA"
After entering the right password I get this error:
This returns a ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
MYDB is a local database.
sqlplus "SYS AS SYSDBA"
and
sqlplus "/ AS SYSDBA"
both work.
I don't use password files (and I don't want to).
Doing the first statement on a remote database (Win2K) works also. If the remote database is a Linux
machine I receive again a ORA-01031.
Any ideas whats wrong here?
Kai

ensure:
a. The listener is running.Is running.
b. there is a definition for MYDB in the local tnsnames file.Is done. There is also oracle names running. sqlplus scott/tiger@MYDB works. So no problem here.
c. There is an entry like: remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE or SHARED in your init file.I don't want to use a password file.
More ideas?
Kai

Cannot connect to sqlplus

I am getting the following error when trying to connect sqlplus as sys user. Can anyone explain how to resolve it.
I just copied the oracle binaries from different server and restored here. After copied I run the relink command also. $ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all.
ld.so.1: oracle: fatal: libskgxp10.so: open failed: No such file or directory
ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
Also i can see the file libskgxp10.so on $ORACE_HOME/lib directory.

I set the oracle_home and PATH.
I not have any database in that server. I just copied the oracle binaries to create the new database. I also did relink all
When i try to connect sqlplus to create a database i am getting the following error. But i can connect sqlplus as nolog.

Cannot connect to database via TNS

Hello!
I installed XE with default settings and have some trouble. I cannot connect to database via TNS. Two symptoms:
1. I can connect with SQLPLUS system/pwd (locally, without tns name input), but CANNOT connect with SQLPLUS system/pwd@EX (WITH TNS NAME input).
2. I cannot start Database Home Page.
How to avoid this problem? Any ideas?

I successfully connect with XE client to another Oracle databases from LAN, including 8i and 9i databases.
But cannot connect from another machines to my XE.

Cannot connect to new DB by tnsname entry.

I created 2 oracle home, /stage/product/10g and /oracle/product/10g. Both are using /oracle as $ORACLE_BASE. I am not sure if this is ok, if the $ORACLE_BASE is not part the access path of $ORACLE_HOME.
Then, I created a database (SID=stage) with $ORACLE_HOME as /stage/product/10g and listener tnsnames.ora. With my oracle logon setting, I can connect to oracle as sqlplus username/password, but I cannot connect as sqlplus username/password@stage. Got the error: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor. I got error: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error while I am trying to connect from remote server. Where is my problem?

The connection export function it's available in 2.1.1.64, you need to right click on the main Connections node, and it will allow you to export all or part of the current connections, or import from a previously exported file.
As for the highlight statement feature it's available in SQLDeveloper; actually you do not even have to highlight the required statement, as long as you take the habit of ending every statement with a ";", in this case you only need to place the caret inside the statement and SQLDeveloper will automatically highlight it for you (if you want to manually highlight a statement you can still do so without problems).
Finally as a last try to solve your connection problem without having to call for network support you could try to check
Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick DriverThis will force SQLDeveloper to use your oracle client for connections instead of it's native JDBC based connections (even if you use TNS based connections you will still use JDBC unless you have this checked).
As for other graphical tools for Oracle there are many both free or for a price.
1) In the for price world Toad stands out, i heard of a free option too but I'm not sure of the limitations.
2) For free you can use DBVisualizer which is fairly good (never used it too much thou).
3) Finally there is SQuirreL which is both free and open source but it has fairly basic functionality compared to the two above.
Obviously there are many others, but IMHO few will provide you with the same functions of SQLDeveloper or Toad for Oracle databases

Cannot connect as a new user to second database from SQLPLUS

Hello,
I've created a new database with CREATEDB POLITE jantest.
I connected via sqlplus as system/mgr@ODBC:POLITE:jantest. This
works fine, I run de poldemo.sql file and that worked fine also.
Then I created a user jan identified by jan. Then I tried to
connect to this user with SQLPLUS as
jan/jan@ODBC:POLITE:jantest. I get an error message that the
user does not exist. Then I tried to connect as
scott/tiger@ODBC:POLITE:jantest. This worked, however is was
then connected to the default 'polite' database.
Has anyone experienced the same kind of weird problems.

Response:
when you create a database under oracle lite, you first
configure this database via ODBC(for example give to this
database a sourcename jan) then connect to this database using
system/manager@jan. Thenafter you should grant previllege ddl to
user jan before connecting :
grant ddl to jan
and now you can connect using : connect jan/jan@jan

Cannot connect to database after installing 10g

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
after installing Oracle 10g, I am trying to use programs like SQL*Plus or Forms Builder. However, these programs are asking me for the host string, and:
- I cannot simply ignore this question, because I cannot connect without this information.
- But I don't know how I can configure a host string for local access.
- And I don't know if there's already a default host string for me to use after installing Oracle 10g, because I have no practice in database configuration, since I'm a developer.
Please help me.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hi ,
Few pointers which may help you , but a small caveat all instructions pertaining to way we do internally in oracle , so there could be some mismatch at customer end , but more or less logic should be same , in case you can't any step revert back :
1. When Db asks you for connect string essentially it asks for the complete description of the db to connect including :
Db server machine name / ip - that can be resolved from your system if it's a remote server .
Username , Password ,
Db Instance Name - TnsAlias mentioned in TnsNames.ora .
Now there are few Env. variables that you need to set before running / starting an oracle db instance .
1. Oracle_Home - Essentially Oralce Installation directory .
2. Oracle_sid - unique identifier for Oracle Instance .
3. For OracleDb only set T_Work and TNS_ADMIN env. variables as %Oracle_Home%\work directory and place your Listener.ora file in that folder .
4. Make your initial parameter file init<Oracle_Sid>.ora in %Oracle_Home%\database -- default location .
5. Create Oracle Instance specific services to run on a Windows machine , essentially they will be two and default nomenclature is :
Oracle Service - OracleService<Oracle_Sid>
Listener Service - Oracle<oracle_sid>TnsListener
Now in %Oracle_Home%\bin directory you have couple have tools to help you in whole process including lsnrctl.exe , tnsping.exe , sqlplus.exe .
and onec you start oracle instance like this :
SQlPlus "/as sysdba" -- OS Authentication
--- Connected to Idle instance
Sql> startup --> this will take default parameter file
Check out dump location for log and trace files generated if enabled .
Now client setting :
1. This is the place where you need appropriate connect string with all components as mentioned above .
Check out any good site for exact syntax , but you need to make sure regarding client you are using for e.g:
ODP.Net , Java Driver etc .
For Client few important settings :
Execution directory should contain tnsnames.ora
Create T_WORK and TNS_ADMIN for execution directory .
check out for listener connectivity using :
tnsping <TnsAlias>
Imp -- Include all relevant stuff in System PATH for execution from anywhere .
Once it connects tehn you can use appropriate username / password for connecting with appropriate connection string .
Normally while installing oracle you would have set the username and password to be changed later .
or otherwise onec you log in as sysdba, you can create new username/password and give it sysdba permissions .
Also imp. thing for connecting from a remote system is having Sqlnet.ora authentication file in client's T_WORK and TNS_ADMIN .
I hope it helps upto some extent .
regards ,
Mrinal

Also, i cannot connect the database, i dont have any active connections, cannot run any sql statements..

Cannot connect to database using SQL*Plus

Hi, I have Oracle 10g XE installed in my labtop and I cannot connect using SQL*Plus.
I can connect using the broser User Interface though, which I was able to do after doing the following procedure to change the password of the sys account:
-     open a command prompt
-     - type sqlplus
-     On the “Enter user-name” line, type /as sysdba
-     On the SQL> prompt, type alter user sys identified by NewPassword;
But the thing is that even though I am able to connect using sys/NewPassword from my browser UI, I dont get the same result when doing it using the SQL prompt.
What I am trying to do is this:
SQL> connect sys/NewPassword
Then I get first a warming saying that I need to use either sysdba or sysoper to connect to the system account, but neither of those work.
Can anyone advice me on this matter?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that.
I run the command to list the usernames on the database and I got SYS and SYSTEM in the list. But again, when I try to use SYS with a password that I know is working because I can access it through the browser UI, it doesnt work. It seems like this sys is different to the sys I used in the UI.
I dont know if I am explaining myself correclty... In the Browser UI I use sys, and a password and I get connected to the sys account. However, if I try to use the same sys.password combination from my sqlplus prompt, I get error messages
Does this make sense at all?

Metadata Repository Creation Assistant cannot connect SYS

Hi!
I have Oracle10.2.0.1.0 running on Oracle EL4. ORACLE_HOME is /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 and ORACLE_SID is "orcl".
I have installed MRCA in /opt/app/oracle/product/10.1.4.0.1/mrca. After installation, I run MRCA with /opt/app/oracle/product/10.1.4.0.1/mrca/runRepca. When I get to the section to enter connection information, I enter the SYS password but it fails to connect.
I can go into sqplus and do sqlplus /nolog , and then do connect / as sysdba (as user oracle). That works. However, I have the administrator client software installed in /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1, and when I launch "oemapp control" I cannot connect sys as sysdba (I get an insufficient privileges error).
Please help!

there are prerequisits to RepCA, did you check all of them?<<To be honest with you, no.
The OAS MRCA User's Guide has over 25 pages of install requirements (Sections 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6, and surprisingly, the section for installing RepCA, 1.4 comes before the requirement sections for the database and OID), with lots of rabbit trails to follow (for steps here, go here; this stuff is discussed over there, etc) to follow before you can get the whole picture.
In all fairness to Oracle, there's plenty of information there in the docs, not just in a well organized manner, IMHO. Of course, complexity helps Oracle University fill up training sessions. :) For someone who simply wants a cookbook to get up and running in as short a timeframe as possible so that s(he) can start doing work with these technologies (for example, a Java developer that doesn't need/care to know about Oracle DB administration but that needs access to a DB or Portal instance to work on his/her projects but has no access to a DBA resource) following a long trail of docs, release notes, addendums, and interspersed bits of knowledge is just running out of luck.
So what I did is, since RepCA runs its own requisites check when you launch the installer, and my intended install met all of them (except shmmax being like 4GB; my system only has 3GB) I went with that. With help from this forum I was able to figure out how to proceed with the install... now the message about RepCA not supporting Oracle DB 10g 10.2.0.1.0... on Oracle EL4... if it doesn't work I don't know yet what I'm going to do. I've spent significant time working through the matrix to identify a set of components that can happily live with each other and allow me to do some work!
Thanks for your input. I'll follow the link and be more patient and read more (on the prerequisites) and hopefully I'll be able to navigate the maze in order to help out another newbie tomorrow.
Thx!

Dbstart works, but cannot connect

Hi,
this is my first post and I am new to oracle administration, but I think this is some kind of wierd:
Here is dbstart output (works alright):

SQL> Verbindung zu Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options beendet
Database "ora1" warm started.
Here is my try to conenct with sqlplus:
[oracle@pele ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.0 - Production on Mi Apr 13 19:20:02 2005

This looks like my env settings are bad (but they are ok):
[oracle@pele ~]$ env|grep -i ORACLE
USER=oracle
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1//lib
ORACLE_SID=ora1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/oracle
PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/oracle/bin:/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1//bin
PWD=/home/oracle
HOME=/home/oracle
LOGNAME=oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1/
[oracle@pele ~]$
And here is oratab, which corresponds to my env settings:
[oracle@pele ~]$ cat /etc/oratab|grep ora1
ora1:/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_1:Y
So the problem is, dbstart seems to work, I can see all the oracle processes, the shared mem ... but I cannot connect to it. Manually starting the db per sqlplus works alright. But dbstart seems to do something on his own.
Thanks...
Oracle 10g, 10.1.0.4.0, Redhat EL4

No, dbstart starts the database.
This is after a 'dbstart' :

So it is running.
Can you elaborate on "10.1.0.4 is buggy under Linux"?
Btw. I had the same error on 10.1.0.3.
And this is alert.log:
