Help with 11gR2 install (win32) - can't get EM working

Hi, I'm doing a clean install of 11.2.0.2 on a windows XP professional virtual machine. I've gone through this procedure 5 or 6 times now, and keep ending up with the same problem. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Software only install (11.2.0.2)
2. Ran network config assistant to set up LISTENER
3. Run the database configuration assistent to set up a simple database
The DBCA keeps ending up with an error message during the install saying "Error starting database control. Execute the following statements: 1) Set the environment variable ORACLE_UNQNAME to database unique name. 2) c:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\emctl.bat start dbconsole
If I do that, the dbconsole still doesn't start. Also I've tried setting the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables - they don't seem to work either. When it starts running the emctl.bat, I see the banner info, followed by "the dbconsole is starting...", then it dies with an error 2, saying refer typing net helpmsg 3547 (which is generic)
Am I doing something dumb here? Not very savy on installations, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thinking the dbconsole should come up on a clean install without jumping through a ton of hoops.
Thanks,
Scott

Pavan, thanks for the link. Actually, for this try around (probably my 5th or 6th over the last two days) it seems to be magically working. The ONLY difference is that I went into the c:\windows\system32\etc\hosts file and specifically added a line for the VM name, i.e.:
Oracle11gR2 192.168.1.2
Do you think that could have made a difference?
Thx,
Scott

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    Hi there
    I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

  • Now I've really done it.  I need help with iPhoto as I can't get into it at all.

    I sent a request earlier regarding my MacBook Pro.  I was trying to set up both computers so that I could network, mainly wanted to send my photos from the iMac (running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '08).  After some trials I got the two computers so that they appeared to be networked.  I set system preferences so that PICTURES was what would be shared between the iMac and the MacBook Pro (running OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto '11).
    I had both computers set to recognize each other, the passwords worked, and I thought that was it until I was ready to move my photos from the iMac to the MacBook Pro.  Before I knew what was going on, the MacBook got busy on its own and informed me that it was busy and that iPhotos had to do some updating because the photos (which I then assumed were the ones on the iMac) were too old as they were.  It took some time, during which I noticed that when it got to the point of updating faces there were a couple of faces I didn't think I had seen in my MacBook photos.  I let it finish what it was doing.
    HERE IS MY PROBLEM:  When it finally got finished I couldn't see any new photos on the MacBook, so I went to the iMac to see what had been done there.  Big surprise!  When I went to open iPhotos I got the message "The iPhone Library is locked, on a locked disc, or you do not have permission to make a change to it."  No matter what I tried I couldn't get into it, so I don't know whether I have photos any more or not.  
    As luck would have it, my extended warranty for technical help expired in June 2011!

    Locked disk issue:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Help with some questions I can't get answered

    Can you give me the specs for P6 re. P7. Does it only go by hours rather than day?
    I can't get any answers. I have been on the phone for three day and emailing also and no one has helped me yet.

    Data is stored at the database level in hours. You can alter the client to display time units as days under Edit>User Preferences... however this simply converts the hours to the specified time unit.

  • I need help with ISIGHT!  I can't get it to work with MSN!

    HI,
    My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
    My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
    I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
    ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
    Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
    THANK YOU

    Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
    I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
    aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
    macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
    The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
    The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

    Hello,
    I have had the same problem as you, and have spent the past 2 days figuring it out. I have been on the phone with AppleCare 3 times, and been to the Apple Store once as well. I ended up reinstalling iTunes completely, creating a new Administrator account on my Mac, and getting a brand new iPhone 4. None of these fixed the problem. I did figure it out, and hopefully this helps you as well:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297?viewlocale=en_US
    Follow the drop menu for "Blocked by Configuration"
    Follow these steps
    I have a Mac, and I skipped everything except for the Terminal instructions.
    I did the Terminal command, added # and a space in front of the only line it showed that had apple.com in it, then saved and exited. My update worked perfectly immediately after I completed those steps. Again, I hope this helps you as well!

    Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
    Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to install. Checked with a clerk at Sam's Club who said it wouldn't install for her either.
    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Please help with new install

    Superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem and not SWAP or UFS or something else, then the superblock is corrupt and you might try running e2sck with and alternate superblock: e2sck -b 8193 <device>
    I get this error after a new install and reboot, any idea what this mean and how to fix it.
    Appreciate all the help.
    This is a AMD 1.8mgz and 1 gig of ram on Asus mb.

    I just downloaded the image archlinux 2009.02 core i686 and was able to install with no issues.  I was able to reboot successfully.  It appears to be an issue with the newest installer specificly.  turtle, try the old installer and see if you can't get things working.  This should work for the OP too. 
    I got it to boot after an install for the first time using this older install image.
    I wasted 8 freaking hours trying to figure out the problem and the answer is as simple as use the older installer.  Shesh.
    I was wrong.  I installed once successfully in one of the computers on an 80 gb hard drive.  When trying to reinstall on two different 120 gig hard drives the error repeated itself.  I'm spent on this.  I'm going to have to try another distro.
    After two more installs I can get it to load but I'm now having a superblock last load time is in the future error.
    Used fsck on all my partitions to fix the problem and now I have a successfully booting arch system.  Guess I won't have to jump ship just yet.
    ------update, maybe this will help somebody----------
    I'm not sure why but the partitions on my first disk are all referred to as sda and not hda even though all my hard drives are IDE (via command 'df', fstab has them listed by UID). 
    Even weirder, when I installed a new hard drive into the machine, I had to format it and mount it by referring to /dev/sdb and not /dev/hdb like I expected.  This is odd as I don't even have any sata connections in my machine.  Could someone tell me why this is happening.  Is it a 'feature' or a 'bug' of arch?
    lldmer,  I wish I had listened to you when I was trying to install over and over the day before yesterday.  Looks like you hit the nail on the head on this one.  I wish I had tried what you suggested.  The weird thing is that when I was originally having problems, the fstab did have the drives listed by UID.  I wonder if changing those UID entries to /dev/sda style entries would have fixed my problems. 
    If I install arch again, I'll have to try that.

    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks
