Installation Oracle 8i TNS error

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7. on windows 2000 OS. I have installed Oracle before but never had the problems I am having now.
I am installing it through a Remote Desktop Connection. I used the typical installation option. At 100% of the installation, it hangs on the net8 optional installation. When I am trying to create the database with the database configuration assistent I get an TNS error while initializing the global database. ORA-12560 TNS protocol adapter error.
What could be the problem here?

I've never tried installing Oracle 8 on Windows XP machine, so I don't know. And Oracle does not provide download link for software they don't support (like Oracle 8.1.7), 
So your options are upgrade your existing database or try searching 8.1.7 version. I presume you don't have 8.1.7 version, either way you need to upgrade your database anyway.
Give Oracle Express Edition(it's free) a try, using it you can fully utilize advance ODP.NET feature like Database Change Notification. If you choose to download Oracle Enterprise Edition, Oracle won't charge you if you use it only for development purpose.

Discoverer desktop installation on Windows 7 64 OS XP Mode TNS error

I have installed discoverer administrator and desktop in XP Mode on a Windows 7 64 OS. I downloaded the install from Oracle Discoverer 11g Fusion Middleware. I am using XP mode because I believe there is no download for the 64 bit OS in the Windows environment. I have had no trouble with the installation. The trouble comes when trying to connect to a database. I get a TNS error.
I have edited the environmental variable to include tns names. I am able to connect to a database on the network via sql developer but not with discoverer.
One needs to run the xp application within the Windows 7 environment. I have included the environmental variable in both environments (xp virtual and Windows 7) and am 0% successful with discoverer and 100% successful with sql in seeing the database.
Any technical advice?

I am indebted to Praveen Deshpande for this :
You need to create a Windows environment variable TNS_ADMIN that points to the directory where the correct Tnsnames.ora file is held.
On my system, I went to 'Computer - System Properties - Advanced - Environment Variables", created an environment variable TNS_ADMIN and set its value to C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
Check where your server or other tnsnames file is stored and set the corresponding value.
Then it all worked perfectly.

Oracle 12560 tns protocol adapter error

Hi, I have installed oracle database 10G Release 10.2.0.1.0 in my laptop which works correctly, Then I installed Oracle Developer suite in the same laptop because It is for study purpose only (I don't plan to connect to another pc). I had to start the OC4J instance manually, I create a form with the forms builder but when I compile the Oracle application server forms service gives this error :'oracle 12560 tns protocol adapter error ' and then shows me a connect screen that doesnt accept my password, Can anybody please help me

To connect to an Oracle database you need to make the connection identifier which is something like this:
<service name> =
(DESCRIPTION =
 (ADDRESS_LIST =
 (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <server hostname>)(PORT = 1521))
 (CONNECT_DATA =
 (SERVICE_NAME = <db SID>)
)Not that the port number is the default number, if you have changed it during database installation you need to use the right port number.
Or the easier way you can use the Net Configuration Assistance GUI tool found in Start/my programs/oracle home

Oracle Universal Installer gives a fatal error

Hello,
When I start the Oracle Universal Installer to install the Oracle Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) I get a Microsoft Fault Report, so the installation will abort.
I had removed first the Oracle installation via the same wizard and then clean up my registry.

Ok, I have found the problem: The installer can't write to c:\documents and settings\pieter\local settings\temp\...
The error is like this: "error in writing to c:\documents and settings\..."
Many users that install Oracle have this error (check google) but I can't find a solution :(
Anyone?

APEX 3.2 Installation - 500 Internal Server Error

Hi All,
I am trying to get APEX 3.2 working on a 10.2.0.5 database, using Embedded PL/SQL Gateway. I have followed the steps from here.
The installation is successful (no errors in install log). However, when I try to access the APEX admin page (http://host:port/apex/apex_admin) for the first time after installation, I get "500 Internal Server Error".
Can somebody help me to figure out what is the issue ?

Hi Alberto,
A revised version of the APEX Listener has been applied to the apex.oracle.com instance, containing a fix for bug 16210026. So you should now be able to carry out your RESTful Services tests successfully. Please note that the updated version of the APEX Listener release, release 2.0.1, is not yet available for download from OTN but hopefully should be soon. Keep an eye on the APEX Listener OTN page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex-listener/overview/index.html.

TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.

I have installed Oracle 9i on machine in Windows XP. When I try to open the database SID in the Enterprise Manager, it gives me TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.
I have checked the Oracle Net Configuration:
Protocol: TCP/IP
Host: PNR18
Port: 1521
In the xp administrative tools, I found that the listener is on start.
When I try to test trough ' Net Configration Assistant' getting same error, similarly with Net Manager.
I don't know if I am using the correct protocol in my case of standalone installation.
Any advice/correction? it would be appreciated. I am giving all the information of TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, which is on my machine.
Thanks in advance.

First of all Thanks for suggestions for solutions but still SAME PROBLEM:
Case-1::
I tried according to your suggestion, still SAME error !! I have also configured new DB
with Enterprise MAnager Configuration Assistent - during DB creation same error occured.
1) I have seen in XP service where all listener is running as well as OracleServiceORCL
is also running.
2) OracleOraHome90TNSListener also running with other listeners!
Case-2::
Dear I also delete listener and create new one and also configured Database Description
and tried to do so but still same problem while I am TESTing it with - Net Manager /
Net Configuration Assistant. I have also tried
C:\TNSPING ORCL - it is giving 'ok' result
but when I am using C:\LSNRCTL START listener - it gives me following errors.
Service OracleOraHome90TNSListener already running.
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

TNS Error after Linux Patch

I manage a small instructional Database (Oracle 9i) running on Linux Advanced Server. Everthing had been okay since installation last summer, until a week ago that our Linux Admin applied some patches. Now TNS listener (port 1521) and Oracle Apache (Port 7777) cannot be reached from outside the system. The strange thing is that both services are reported to be running OK, and on the server itself both of them work ok. However, trying from another machine (on the same network) there is neither a TNS listener found, nor an apache service for web (iSqlPlus).
Has anyone seen anything close to this before? Where would you suggest we look?
Thank you

What kind of TNS error you've got? - That's important!
Check that is not local firewall running.
Try stop that firewall using:
"/etc/init.d/iptables stop" - in case of iptables
or
"/etc/init.d/ipchains stop" - in case of ipchains
If it will solve your problem then disable starting of service for future. For example: use the "setup" command.

TNS errors - 8.1.7 Personal edition

Thanks to whomever replies,
I am brand new to Oracle (I am a student). Everything on the 8.1.7 seems fine when I installed it. The thing is when I attempt to log into SQL+ using scott/tiger or whatever, with or without a host I get tns errors 12560 - protocol adapter error, 12541 - no listener, and 12154 - could not resolve service name. I am using my standalone computer, and I'm not connected to any database. Oh i've read other people's forum questions and replies and have experimented by changing configurations but still no luck. Most students in my class are experiencing the same problems I have--professor really of no help. Anyones help will be deeply appreciated.

while connecting to an oracle database using any tool you have to specify a service name (net service name) to the client tool.
Service name is a combination of
Oracle SID :- each database will have a SID. In privious version its a 4 letter word like ORCL. In latest versions you can have the SID upto 8 letters. This SID is given while creating the database. In most default installations the default sid is ORCL.
Protocol information:-The protocol used to connect to the server. If you want to use TCP/IP protocol you should also provide the port number.(default 1521).
Machine name:- In which the server is installed. you can give ipaddress or machine name. if you want to know the ipaddress of your server you can use "ipconfig" in the os prompt. (in windows)
To create the service name you can use "net8 assistant" or Net8 configuration assistant. Then give the service name created as the host string while connecting to the database.

+ VM Server 3.0.2 on Dell PowerEdge 1950
+ VM Manager 3.0.2 in OEL 6.1 on Sun Fire X4100M2 Server
Refer to Oracle VM Server 3.0 Document, they recommend to do Discover Oracle VM Servers to VM Manager first of all step then do anything else like Creating a Server Pool so I try to do Discover Oracle VM Servers in many times but still not success.
What I try to do Discover Oracle Servers as below:
After I install both already I start to Discover Oracle VM quickly
1. Log into Oracle VM Manager
2. Select the Hardware view.
3. Select Discover from the Actions menu. The Discover Servers dialog box is displayed.
4. Enter information about the Oracle VM Server(s) to be discovered.
5. Specify an IP Address (or rang): IP_of VM Server and Click Add
6. Put password of VM Server Agent
7. Click OK
Wait a minute the Status of VM Manager show fail and when I click Detail it show as below:

Hi, make sure you have downloaded all the four foundation packages and also check you have the x64 specific packages.
Your error might indicate you have downloaded unix install instead:
The inventory pointer location /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
Not sure why you need HFM components for a FR install ?
Also worth noting is that 11.1.2 does not supported on Windows Server 2008 R2.

HI,
Please cross check you rpd connection pool details in physical layer like below.
Data source name
Username and password
Or,
Login Weblogic Console with admin username/pwd.
Goto Services -> JDBC -> Data Sources.
Select Lock & Edit button
Select Data Source "bip_datasource" link in the available Data Sources list
Select Connection Pool tab
.... Change the URL|Driver|Properties|Password
Select Save button.
OR,
you have to go to WEblogic Enterprise Manager (http://<server>:7001/em/. Then go to Business Intelligence folder -> coreapplication. Go to "Deployment" tab and then to "Scheduler" tab. Change the database field to point to the new DB and apply changes.
Or,
Please check Database services running or not including TNS listner service also.
Hope this helps.

Problems with the installation Oracle 10g 10202 - Platform x86 - Sol 5.10

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 10g R10202 in plataform x86 Solaris 5.10. I did all the tasks of preinstallation, and when I execute runInstaller, the following error appears ==>
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking installer requirements...

Obviously it is not a problem of space in the directory/tmp.
I have tried other options as ==>
*-Run runInstaller con el parameter ignoreSysPrereqs
*-Setting others variables of environment like, TMP =/opt/tmp
and TMPDIR =/opt/tmp.
But I don't fix the problem.
Someone has some idea of like solving this bug or problem?
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards.

Error is on small caps but it is straight forward:
".. error: invalid compressed data to inflate ..."
Your oracle media is corrupt. Redownload it and verify the downloaded zip file.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
Have you tried using oradim?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .
