New Install Win 2000 Server ORA-12560 : TNS : Protocol Adapter Error

I am trying to learn Oracle.
I get the following when logging into SQL*Plus.
ORA-12560 : TNS : Protocol Adapter Error
I have just installed New Install Win 2000 Server and then Oracle 8i for Win2k
null

Step 1 - from a command line on the database machine, enter 'lsnrctl status' and report the output
Step 2 - display the contents of the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file on the machine running sqlplus.
These are the first two stepo, whether on the database machine or in a traditional client-server configuration.

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

I tried to install oracle 10g r2 in server 2008. but it gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing. how I can fix this issue??? please help me ASAP. because its urgent.
thanks in advance.
chamara

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 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 creating new database

Hi,
I installed Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 1 (10.1.03) and created the default database it had which was emrep. Once Oracle Grid Control was installed I ran the install for Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2).
Now when I try to create a database I get the following error: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
My assumption is because I seem to have 2 Oracle home's now because I installed the Grid Control??
My question is, have I done this backwards? Should I install Oracle 10g before installing the grid control? If thats not it, can someone point me in the right direction?
FYI: The server we're using is running Windows Server 2003.
Thanks for your help

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
sql:\> connect scott {press enter}
Enter password :tiger {press enter}
sql:\> connected
or
sql:\> connect system {press enter}

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error from ADO ODBC connection in Access VB

I have an MS Access 2000 VB module that loads data from Access into an Oracle database. This worked when Access was 97 using DAO and Oracle RDBMS was 8i.

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error after patch 9.2.0.7 on Windows2K

I just install the patch 9.2.0.7 for client Oracle machine on windows 2000 server.
Since then I'm constantly getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" and I cannot connect via SQL plus.
Any help is appreciated, mj

I'm trying to connect to databases that are running on a separate machines - aix5.2, and I can connect from every other machine in the office but not from this one.
There's no database on this machine - only Oracle client tools installed with 9.2.0.1 and then updated to 9.2.0.7. Before the update the sqlplus was working just fine. After the patch run, I'm not able to connect viw sqlplus.
There were no errors when running the patch.
Thanks a lot,mj

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error with samples

hello,
I am trying to run the cdemo1 sample on Windows 2000 but I keep getting the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. I have set the correct username and password in cdemo1.c before compiling.
I am using Oracle 9i and I have the Oracle Client installed.
I am able to connect to Oracle using the command line with the following command sqlplus qa/tester@TESTSERV and I am also able to connect to Oracle using the Sqlplus Net8 client interface.
I have set ORACLE_HOME on the command line to the path of my oracle home directories. And just for kicks I have also set the ORACLE_SID on the command line to TESTSERV
My tnsnames.ora is configured properly
TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = PEPSI)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TESTSERV)
(SERVICE_NAME = TESTSERV.COMPANY.NET)
None of the methods seem to work.Anyone have any ideas why I can't connect with the cdemo1 but I can connect using command line and SQLPLUS?
-Will

I have had a similar problem with 8.1.6 on W2K Server. I have managed to get around it and get into svrmgrl by typing the following at the command prompt: set oracle_sid=sid_name. I am then able to get into svrmgrl without a problem. This always happens after the server has been rebooted. I have no idea why this happens or why setting the sid name works. Hope this helps.

hi,Mr sb92075
Do you use what kind of messenger?If we can communicate on messenger,it will facilitate solving my problem I think.I don't mean to disrespect you but I just want to overcome the problem very quickly.
with best regards,
Ian Su
Can I know very clearly?
what are the things(eg dbname,username,protocol I don't know exactly just guessing)needed to connect to the database?
I already installed oracle developer suite 10 and oracle 10g xe database server.
I can't login to sqlplus and what are the things i need to check to get connected to the database from sqlplus?
I appreciate your help and need somebody help.

Help: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

I created a new database and afterwards my established TNS connection to my starter database was lost. Now I cant get it to work. I tired deleting the new database I created, but my old connection with my starter db still does not work. When I test the connection using the NET 8 assistant I get the following error: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Im fairly new to Oracle8i and Ive posted numerous threads elsewhere concerning my problem but so far I havent gotten a solution. Any ideas?
Thanks, Andrew

Edwin,
1. I can ping my server.
2. I reinstalled Oracle8i entirely on the server I still could not connect.
3. I installed Oracle8i client on a totally new client I still could not connect.
On thing though, when I de-installed all Oracle products and then reinstalled Oracle, some of my settings from the previous install still existed. Ex: When I opened Net 8 Assistant some of my Net Service Names remained from the previous install.
Three things I think I can rule out as causes:
a) It seems really significant that from the server I can successfully connect through the TNS connection. And this is using the exact same TNANAMES.ORA file that is on my client machine. This leads me to believe that my TNSNAMES.ORA file is not the cause of the problem.
b) Also the fact that the new client install (3) didnt work makes me think for sure that it is not the client.
c) When I open SQL Plus on the server I type ORACLE4 for the host string and I get right in. This leads me to believe that the instance and database can be ruled out as possible causes.
In the Oracle Client Net8 Profile section I set tracing to on. I am posting the results. Also FYI: I am the only person that has been working with Oracle on the server. Any ideas??? Andrew

Help: Error message "ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error "

I tried to install Oracle 8i EE version 8.1.7 on Windows 2000. Everything is OK until the installation proceeded to installing "Oracle Database Configuration Assistant". At that point, I got an error message "ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adapter Error (network not loaded)". I looked up the error message. The cause of the error said: "This error occurs when the SQL*Net driver cannot find the JSB driver because you may have either forgotten to load the JSB driver (for instance MFTP) or used an incorrect TCP_VENDOR key (for example, TCP_VENDOR=NOVLWP).". And the suggested action said: "Load the JSB driver or use the correct TCP_VENDOR key.". I am using a standalone PC with Windows 2000 at home, and the PC does not connect to any network(except that I can dialup to internet via modem). What should I do? I can't understand the error message. Any expert to help me overcome the error?

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
regards,
Tarisa.

hi,
thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.
regards,
Tarisa.
