Welcome to the forums !
Pl indicate which version of 10g you are installing and on which version of Win 2008. Neither 10gR1 nor 10gR2 are certified to be installed on Win 2008 R1, AFAIK.
For 10gR2, only 10.2.0.5 is certified for Win 2008 R2 - see MOS Doc 1173433.1 (How to Install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on MS Windows 7 / Windows 2008R2)
Also see MOS Doc 740926.1 (Where can I find the Database / Client software to download for Microsoft Vista, or Windows 2008R1?).
Both 10gR1 and 10gR2 are now in extended support - is there a reason you are not using 11gR2 ?

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when trying to connect

hopefully somebody can help me out... the problem i'm having is connecting to the scott/tiger database. i keep getting :
"ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to connect to it. it worked previously, but i unistalled oracle 8i personal and reinstalled it. now it doesn't let me connect. what's going on?
thanx,

You can run the net8 assistant to set up your tnsnames.ora file.
start/programs/oracle/network administration/net8 assistant
When you are done it should look something like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
     (PROTOCOL = TCP)
     (Host = )
     (Port = 1521)

ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error while installing database

Hello,
I'm having troubles while installing my oracle database 10g. My server is SUN OS 5.10
When I am in the copying datafiles step, a pop up message shows up [ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error]
Could you please help me?

I am creating the database the database.
I am relatively new in Oracle but I have created a DB before and the ORACLE_SID was set after the database was created.
The steps I execute for are:
1. Install the Oracle engine (without create the DB)
2. Install the Patch
3. Create the database (dbca)
After the database is created, appears a popup (Database configuration assistance warning) where it says to set the oracle_sid among others steps.
Is it mandatory to set the ORACLE_SID before? some other configuration that I could be missing?
Thank you

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error while running Oracle Form 10g over IE

Hi,
I am getting the following error message while running my form over Internet Explorer. What could be the error and the solution.
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I am using the same user id/password that i used to create the database.
Plz help.
thanks,
RV

unless you defined the TWO_TASK in your environment, you might need to provide it during the login. The typical Forms login screen has 3 fields, username/password and TWO_TASK , which is the alias used for the database server in the tnsnames.ora file on your end. If you are using iAS forms, then a proper RAD (Resource Access Descriptor) needs to be created by the DBA or whoever manages the iAS server. This is only if SSO is utilized, if not, then you need to provide TWO_TASK as well.
Hope this proves useful

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error while configuring ORACLE Workflow

Hi,
I am trying to configure ORACLE Workflow. I have given sys password and other parameters in the given format in Workflow Configuration Assistant. My DB Server is in my local network and I connect to it using SID in SQL Plus. But I got the following error while WorlflowCA tries to execute relevant script.
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
SP2-0640: Not connected
WorkflowCA: Non-Oracle10g database detected
If anybody is having any clues, please help me.
Thanks in advance
Ajish M.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
I've read all the posts mentioned (quite a few more) but I couldn't find any suggested solution to the "non-oracle10g"-problem other than using the global db name instead of the sid - which didn't help in our case:
However, in a last desperate attempt to solve the problem on my own before launching another cry-for-help-post I did try running the configuration assistant using the correct password for the SYS user 8-} and - strange but true - it did work :-)
Needless to say: I used the global db name of course, so I can't say what would have happened without it, but I trust your hint was a legitimate one.
Anyway - I gues that error Message concerning a "non-oracle10g database" was slightly misleading in this case.... grrrr.

Check if your tnsnames.ora file has the entry for database you are trying to connect.
Are you able to connect using sqlplus??

Getting ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting Oracle8i SVRMGR

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums, and I guess you could say "somewhat new" to the Oracle DB. I've played around with it casually in the past, but never got real serious with it :)
Anyhow, I wanted to see if someone could help with this. I found an old thread on a similar issue, but nothing seemed to help at all towards resolution, so I thought I would start a new thread, and maybe get some fresh ideas.
The issue is, I start SVRMGR on Oracle8i, and get the ORA-1260: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Here is my setup:
OS: Win2k Advanced Server
CPU: 2 - 930MHz Intel Xeon's
RAM: 1GB DIMM
DB Version: Oracle8i
No firewalls or any other TCP interference. Ok, so now that's out the way :), here is the issue:
When I start the SVRMGR, I get that error immediately. I have checked my tnsnames.ora file, and found some discrepancies, and have corrected them (at least to my knowledge), restarted all the Windows services running the various databases, and closed/re-opened the SVRMGR, and still get the same thing.
For reference, here is a copy of the tnsnames.ora file:

The ones I commented out were either non-existant databases, or the databases were shutdown, because they are not presently being used.
If someone could help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

HI,
1). Can you connect normally from SQL Plus?
-----------------------Here is entry in your Tnsnames.ora file.------------------------------
#You must check that your Dbase Listener is Listening request on port 1521.
ORCL9i =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Local-Server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl9i)
2). For pinging a service.
If you've Microsoft Windows.
If your database service name is orcl9i
Run->Cmd
Tnsping orcl9i
--It will give you as following information either "OK" or Fail.

ERROR:ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

I am using Win XP Pro. in my PC. I just installed Oracle 9i. When I put in my
user-name and password to run SQL+ 9.0.1 it gives me the following error
message : ERROR:ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
I am new to Oracle. Please give me the steps how to fix this error to be
able to run SQL+.
Many thanks

When starting server manager the following error is generated:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error occurred
Cause:
Oracle classify this as a 'generic protocol adapter error'. In my experience it indicates that Oracle client does not know what instance to connect to or what TNS alias to use.
Possible Remedies:
* If running on the server (or workstation) that is running the database (i.e. if the database is local to the machine) then try explicitly setting 'ORACLE_SID'. e.g.
set ORACLE_SID=<sid>
and then try again. If this works then consider whether to make the change permanent by specifying it as a system variable.
FOR RUN THIS SID PLEASE REFER IT
Go to command prompt
C:\Document and settings\ORANGE> cd\
C:\> set oracle_sid=<DB name>
e.g C:\> set oracle_sid=<rajesh> {press enter}
C:\> sqlplus /nolog {press enter}
sql:\>connect sys/sys as sysdba {press enter} it cant ask for password directly connected
or
sql:\>connect sys as sysdba {press enter}
password : sys {press enter}
sql:\> connected
or

or

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error in Oracle Forms...

Hi, I installed Oracle developer suite to use for Oracle forms but am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to run a form. The database is running locally on my PC.
I've run the command line to see if hostname matches up with the "HOST= " in the ".../network/admin/listener.ora " file match, they do. What can I try next? I did have Oracle 10gXE installed, which I have now removed. I'm including my tnsnames and listener file content:

Thanks in advance for any help!

Of course you found another one. Each .and every Oracle database client home (such as developer, app server) has one.
Don't just change the port - the tnsnames.ora in the dev home does not point to a database service. It only points to an extproc [external procedure called by a database]. You need to put a database service entry into that file similar to the one in the database home. (Easiest solution - copy the tnsnames.ora from db home ... after you've made a backup)
And please don't tell me you are using Developer 6i - a simple Google search would verify that the networking is incompatible.

ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error on windows 2008 server(32 bit) for 10g

Hi Friends,
I am installaing Oracle 10g database on windows 2008 Server(32-bit) and when the Database is getting cretaed and during the database files copying portion it's throwing the error :
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
I tried intsllaing 10g software alone and invoked DBCA and again during the database files copying portion it's throwing the same error
what could be the issue?

ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error and ORA-12557 Error

Hello ,
I have installed Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database on my Windows 7 ( Home Premium) PC which is also 64 bit. I installed it because I am trying to setup Informatica. Later, I learnt that informatica is 32 bit and can not communicate to Oracle 11.2.0 64 bit database. So after digging through solutions, someone mentioned that I need to install Oracle 11g client 32bit.
I have installed 11g client software successfully now. Here is problem though :
When I launch SQL-Plus from 11g database , it works fine. However I launch SQL-Plus from 32bit client it gives me error as :
Ora-12560 :TNS: Protocol Adapter Error.
So I have been trying to resolve this error. I saw that this question has been posted many many times and have tried many thing as listed below :
1. copy tnsnames.ora from database ( dbhome_1) to client installation ( client_1 ) under ..\network\admin\ --- Didn't work.
2. Set $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Here is interesting fact - If I set $ORACLE_HOME to database path and not client path error changes to :
ORA-12557 TNS: Protocol adapter not loadable.
If I keep $ORACLE_HOME as client path then I get same error as earlier ORA-12560.
3. I have also tried changing $PATH variable. I did set to path containing only database installation, only client installation, both database and client installation with database installation appearing first
But all of these haven't worked.
Can anyone please suggest what I am missing and any further things I could try ?
Thank you in advance !

Thank you in advance !unfortunately, we need to know exactly how you tried to connect with sqlplus when it "worked" and when it "didn't work". The key to the reported error messages is highly dependent on the environment settings AND the specification of the connect string. A copy and paste of the entire command line session would be most helpful.
But again, running on any 'home' edition of windows is not supported.

ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error":Win2k+Oracle8i_32bit.Helplessly struggling.

Hi Oracle Guru's,
Please save my life from this typical yet known problem.
I got an old backup on my tapes about 3 years older. I have windows server 2k where I have an access remotely through RDP(Citrix-CuraStore).
I installed oracle8i 32 bit on Windows 2k though it got stuck at the end where it installs optional tools(like Net8i assistant), so i closed the installation session, Because I could see Net8i assistant,dbca etc was installed on machine.
I checked my services, found it had started the Listerner8i service.
To create a database, I tried to happen it through DBCA...but unfortunately it gave error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I ignored it ...but it didnt move to next step...completely stuck up..So closed the session.
I tried with ORADIM to create service, It did happen, services for database was created, I setup the environment(SID,HOME,PATH) etc.
When I login with sqlplus , it gives again the same error(ORA-12560 "TNS protocol adapter error"), I tried many things like TCP/IP traffing disabling etc..Nothing worked.
Can some one please help me and give me some out of box solution..I shall be really really thankful to them.
Regards,

Sorry, If I missed to update you back..I apologize.

OS :- Windows2000 Server
In Sql editor (10.2.0.1) when i give command "conn / as sysdba" i get the below error :
SQL> conn / as sysdba
ERROR:

I can connect with SYS user using TOAD but can't through sql editor
and when i open sql editor (8.1.7.0), SYS user gets connected.
any solution ?
With regards

hello,
if having multiple database on same host, try specifying @<SID> while connecting through command line
restart the service and try again......
start-->setting-->control panel-->administrative tools--> servieces-->oracle_homeLinstener<SID>--> restart
if possible paste your TNSnames.ora file here...with details
this might help

ORA-12560: TNS: protocoll Adapter error

Hi all!
I tried to update Oralce 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.4. The Installation of the new Software worked without Problems. But when I start the "Database Upgrade Assistant" I got following Error MEssage: <b>ORA-12560: TNS:protocoll Adapter error</b>.
Perhaps somebody can give me a hint? (8.1.7 with all Services is running)

Hi Alexander
Well it would be better if you upgrade manually instead of using 'Database Upgrade Assistant' as there are frequent issues with upgrade assistant.
You can get manual upgrade documents from Oracle Metalink, Read Document Note 159657.1: Complete Upgrade Checklist for manual upgrades from 8.X/9.0.1 to Oracle 9i.
cheers

PS: Before going to manual upgrade check which ORACLE_HOME is set. There is a possibility that it may be looking at the wrong tnsnames.ora file entry depending on if ORACLE_HOME is 8.x or 9.x

Gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing oracle 10g
