Can't login after installing Oracle 10g on XP Service Pack 1

Hi, I am completely new to using oracle and cannot login after completing the install process. I followed the article:
http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/oracle/115320/3
in order to install and unlock the relevant accounts (such as "SCOTT"). But I keep getting the following error message when attempting to login (at both the "http://myservername/em" and "http://myservername/isqlplus" urls):
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
After a few of those errors I also get an understandable "account locked" error message.
Can anyone suggest fields for "username", "password" and "contact identifier" that might enable me to login?! And why can't I use the "Global Database Name" and password that I supplied during the installation process?
oh, and does it make a difference that I'm using "Parallels Desktop" to run windows from my mac?
Thanks very much for any help, because I really need to get this running quickly!

Open SQL*Plus ... all learning of Oracle should start at the SQL*Plus command line.
Assuming you are logged in to the operating system as the same user that installed the Oracle software on SQL*Plus in the Start -> Programs menu.
Under username type "/ as sysdba" without the double-quotes and leave the other two dialog box fields empty.
Now enter:
SQL> alter user scott account unlock identified by tiger;
SQL conn scott/tigerIf this works you need to proceed by getting a beginning Oracle book. The one's offered by Oracle Press are among the best for your level or preferably find a class personal mentor in your area.

But XP SP1? Why? SP2 is the minimum for a system with some level of security.
In the future always post a complete version number (3 decimal places) as well as, as you did, complete error messages. That will help you get good answers.

My computer slows down and hangs after installing oracle 10g

My computer just slows down after installing oracle 10g. I have a pentium 4 3ghz with 512 memory (32 mb used by graphics built in card). It slows down and hanged even if I agjusted the swap memory to 800 mb. I have two swap file/page file - in drive c and drive d. I even cannot shut it down because it takes maybe 30 minutes just to see the "shut-off/log-off" screen.

Before starting up Oracle, when you go to the task manager, how much RAM does it show actually free? 512 MB is pretty small to run Oracle in the first place-- Windows and Office can use a fair chunk of RAM themselves, depending on which Office apps you are running. You may also be suprised by the amount of RAM that a web browser, email client, and the various other apps that folks generally install can use.

After installing oracle 10g on linux im getting this error

Hi,
Can any one give me any solution on i getting an error after installing oracle 10g on linux.
ERROR:-
/oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/clscfg: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to initialize Oracle Cluster Registry for cluster

Hi, please ensure that both 'libclntsh.so.10.1' and 'libttsh10.so' has 755 permission and owned by Oracle.
That is the critical step.
After re-execute the root.sh file
Has been known to reset the permissions from the previous step - bug in some patch releases.
Suggest OP records permissions for those two files before running root.sh Or run root.sh before setting the permissions.

After install oracle 10g, enterprise manager web version, can not login

Hi Guru,
I have installed oracle 10g on windows xp pro sp2 successfully, can use sqlplus to connect to DB, but when using IE to login enterprise manager web version port 1158, it failed. The login page came out, but when I keyed in the right userid/password ie sysman/pwd1234, the login screen just refreshed, nothing happen. but if I purposely key in wrong userid or password, the message "invalid userid or password" comes out.
Another "interesting" thing is, I can login web version isqlplus successfully using the same userid/password. but can not connect to web version isqlplus/dba, even I use user sys, also can not login.
Need your urgent help to solve this problem.

Hi.
What does the log say?
From %ORACLE_HOME%\opmn\logs folder.

Repeated ORA-12547 Messages after installing Oracle 10g

Hi,
I installed Oracle 10g on a Redhat ES 3 box, and the install went okay, but when I try and interact with the server I get the message:
ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact
For example, if I use the Database Configuration Assistant to attempt to create a database, I will see the above message when it begins the database creation process, or if I try to interact with the Oracle server using sqlplus I will see the above message after each command entered.
I had recently tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 on the same box, but abandoned that after deciding that the effort required to link Oracle 8 on RHES3 just wasn't worth it. I have been told that this previous partial installation may be the cause of the problem, and have been advised to uninstall Oracle 8, uninstall Oracle 10g, and reinstall Oracle 10g. I find it hard to believe that it would require such an action to solve this problem. Is there any configuration changes I can make to resolve it? Also, what does this message actually mean?
I am new to Oracle, so thanks for any help with this problem.
Colm.

My last message asking for a grater degree of specificity was not overly specific, hence I am posting the kernel parms that I have set with the hopes that you will spot one that I set improperly or one that I neglected to set.

No Listener service after installing Oracle 10g 2

Hi,
I have finished installing Oracle 10g 2 on a windows 2003 server. But no Listener windows service is not created. Any explanation ? Should I create the manually , How ?
Many thanks.

No, but I created one after installing Oracle , by
DBCA.
I'm going to apply RDBMS 5337014 patch to upgrade to
10.2.0.3. Should I create Listener before ?
Thank you.
Message was edited by:
user522961For applying patch actually you don't need listener, but it is best if you have a listener for client to connect, isn't it?
cheers

Oracle XE - Just can't login after install

On Lubuntu 10.10, I did:
echo "deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update ; apt-get install oracle-xe
That brings me Oracle XE 10.2.0.1. And then:
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
Everything looks ok, including the password prompt and so. After that, I go to http://127.0.0.1:port/apex, and when I try to login with the username "SYSTEM", and the password I just typed. I get a "Invalid Login Credentials" error.
I also tried:
sqlplus /nolog
CONNECT
[ .. login and password .. ]
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Setting the environment variables also don't help.
sh oracle_env.sh
Well.. I just don't know what's happening. I repeated this procedure trying to find peculiar things, but always got the same results. Also tried some other users as "SYS". useless...
Thanks in advance.

Can't login after installing Leopard

I just installed 10.5 onto an intel Mac Mini from the DVD. Everything went smooth until i restarted. the only user is now "other". It is asking me to login and no username or password is working. I followed the help I found on the site and reset the password with the reset password utility on the desk - still nothing. I have tried lots of different combinations including "System Administrator (root)" name (in many different combinations!). Nothing is working yet.
Message was edited by: Wonderdog

what kind of install did you do? an upgrade and install, an archive and install or an erase and install?
what help did you follow? what exactly did you do? if it's showing "other" at the login screen it must mean you activated root password from the install DVD, is that right? when you try to log in as root you need to enter "root" (no quotes) as the user name, not "System administrator(root)".

Can't install oracle 10g on solaris v10 X86!!!

Hi everybody, I got error messages below:
====================================================
$ ./runInstaller
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.6, 5.7, 5.8 or 5.9. Actual 5.10
Failed <<<<
=====================================================
Does that mean there is not Oracle 10g for Solairs 10 X86?
Where can I find Oracle 9i for Solairs x86?
Thanks advance!

10g on Solaris 10 needs special handling:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Error while installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 9 x86

Hi all,
I got several error after install oracle 10g. After I run the root.sh. It prompt :
Starting Oracle CSS service under init(1M)
Expecting the CRS daemons to be up within 120 seconds.
Giving up: Oracle CSS stack appears NOT to be running.
and when I start sqlplus, it prompt:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Intel SVR4 UNIX Error: 2: No such file or directory
and following the error message prompt every minutes.
"oracle: (Oracle CSSD will be run out of init)"
"root: Failure in CSS initialization opening OCR."
I don't think reinstall oracle will solve my problem if I don't figure out what going wrong. Could anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks very much for helping.
Cheers,
Alex

Check also if the t-bit is set:
[root@vtl1g121 ~]# ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 11 root root 4096 Apr 10 11:44 /tmp
This is needed to mark the filesystem/directory as temporary.
Sometimes this can cause such problems also
Command: chmod +t /tmp

I HAVE INSTALLED ORACLE 10G BUT FORGOT THE ADMIN PASSWORD.

DEAR FRIENDS,AFTER INSTALLING ORACLE 10G EXPRESS EDITION APPLICATION I FORGOT THE PASSWORD. IS THERE ANY WAY TO RECOVER THAT PASSWORD OR ELSE SHOULD I RE INSTALL ONCE AGAIN.......................?

Log on as the internal user (sys) from the local machine. Usually
sqlplus / as sysdba
will do the trick. And then you can change the passwords using the standard 'ALTER USER SYS IDENTIFIED Y newpass;' command.
This is a fairly common question - a quick network search could have saved you a frustrating and anxious wait.

How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster

Dear all:
please advice How can i install oracle 10g on linux cluster service ..
thanks ,,

Without RAC, you can only have one instance manage the database. One instance = one set of processes communicating via IPC.
Unless you know of a way to have processes use memory-based IPC across nodes, you need to pick a node and install & run the database software on that node.
