ORA-12514 error: Instant Client 11 connect to remote Oracle 8i

I encountered a problem that I have spent hours fixing that. Here is the problem:
I am trying to connect to a remote Oracle 8i server using Oracle 11 instant client: here is my connection string in PHP:
*$conn = oci_connect('db_user', 'db_pass', "db_ip/db_service");*
db_ip is the ip of the server, such as "12.34.56.78". db_service is the service of server, such as "test".
The error shown is "*ORA-12514:* TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
I could use the same client to connect to another oracle 10g server. The php code is same, only change the db_user or db_pass or db_ip. db_service is not provided.
I dont use tnsnames.ora for either oracle *10g s*erver or oracle 8i server. I just use the simple IP of server. Does this matter?
Server using: Windows Server 2008 R2
PHP: php 5.2.17
Oracle Instant Client: 11_2
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Best, Sam

ORA-12514 error while connecting to server

I am using instantclient to connect to Oracle 9i server.
The connection string is given using this format
//host:[port][service name].
In our development environment we can successfully connect to the server. But the connection fails in the production environment giving ORA-12514 error. This occurs even when we copy the instant client dll's onto separate folder and set the library loading path to this folder.
Can u please help me in resolving this problem.

Vinay,
Since you are using Windows, are you setting PATH (the lib loading path of Windows)?

Sqlplus error - instant client 10.1.0.2 with 8.1.7.4

Hi,
I've installed the instant client basic & sql plus from rpm on a debian system. When I try to connect with sqlplus I get
SP2-0642: SQL*Plus internal error state 2165, context 4294967295:0:0
The sqlplus cmd line I use should have everything it needs cause I don't have a tnsnames.ora. Here's the cmd line with user & password as xxx
sqlplus xxx/xxx@"(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.25.178.191)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=PWDEV03)))"
Can someone please give me an idea how to figure this out?
Thanks,
Scott

Did you read the Release Notes? It often includes some basic setup instructions.
If you also have DB 8.1.7 installed, which includes Client and RSFs, the problem could be with env setup. Be sure paths (eg. PATH) do not include any reference to 8.1.7 files. (so you're not running a mix-up of different installations)
It is usually a good idea to use an env script for each "oracle home", if you want to run two or more installations (from same user).

on the client - tnsping - to see where the connection request is going and what service is being requested.
on the server - lsnrctl - to see what services the listener supports.
If the listener supports no services, the database needs to be register itself with the listener.

ORA-12514 Error when using Net Configuration Assistant

I have recently installed Oracle 11g on a Windows 2008 server and am now trying to connect via the Oracle client on my local machine.
Here is how I've been using Net Configuration Assistant so far:
Listener Configuration
The name of my listener is LISTENER_PROXIMA (proxima is the name of the server). Does this need to be named something else? Something specific?
I'm using TCP to connect.
I'm using standard port 1521.
Naming Methods
Local Naming and Easy Connect Naming
Local Net Service Name
Service name is ADMI04 (checked this against the lsnrstl service status on the server and it's correct)
Using TCP
Using the hostname proxima.domain-name.com
I'm attempting to connect as SYS (but have tried others with the same result)
When I go to test the connection I keep getting the ORA-12514 error. Does anyone know what I should do? Reinstall the listener? If so, are there any suggestions or guidance for that?
Thank you.

=================================
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
)Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Next, tns sends a request to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the request arrives at port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, you'll be connected.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"

ORACLE XE ora-12514 error

Hi all,
I have installed the oracle xe in my windows xp machine. for some reason i have shut down the oracle and given "startup restrict" mode, but it is thrown the below mentioned error
"SQL> startup restrict;
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor"
please help me.
Thanks

The reason why this error shows is because oracle is self-registered against listener, so when it shuts down the listener deregisters the instance and any further attempt to contact it will result in an ORA-12514 error.
Once the instance is restarted it will contact again the listener and will registers against it once more. This process will take no more than 60 seconds, but you can force it by issuing the command:
ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER;

ORA-12514 Error in remote office

I installed and created a 10g (rel2) database while connected to my office's network. Because my company uses DHCP I had to create a loopback connector and give it a fixed IP address. Everything went as expected.
Now I've travelled to a remote location and, even though the Oracle instance is on my laptop, I'm getting an ORA-12514 error (TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect string). I'm using Windows XP Pro and this is what I get from doing a lsnrctl status:

So now I'm stumped. I've tried stopping and starting the listener, but nothing changed. Is it because I'm physically connected to a different network than when I installed the software and created the database? If that's the case, is there a work-around because I'm going to be travelling a LOT more than I'm going to be in the home office and I need access to my oracle instance no matter where I am or what backbone I'm connected to. Any and all assistance gratefully appreciated.
Leigh Smith

You are trying to connect to a service named: lakota.cgifederal.com but from the output of the listener status it can be seen that the instance has not yet been registered against the listener. Your listener is at 1521 port, this means that can be self registered against it. Just make sure your instance is started.
There is a command to force instance registration, it is from the sql command prompt connected with either sys or system issue: alter system register Automatic instance registration should take less than a minute, if after the time has expired and issuing the command don't work, then if required, instead of relying on automatic instance registration, you can change it to be manually configured. You can do this from the network manager.

have the following in your listener file

Also, dont have 'localhost' in your listener.ora file, provide the actual IP or hostanme. NEVER YOU should have
localhost.
Restart listener and try.

Instant Client to connect to Oracle 8i

Does anyone know where I can download a version of Instant Client that is compatible with Oracle Server 8i (8.1.7.0). The only download I can find is for 11.1 and that's not compatible.
All I'm trying to do is setup some OLE DB data sources in SSIS to pull Oracle 8i data into sql server 2005, but getting a little bit more than I bargined for...
Thanks

Here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html
you can find Instant Client 10.1 and 10.2 for Windows.
These can be used to access Oracle 8.1.7.4, but they do not include an OLE DB provider.
If you want to use OLE DB to access an Oracle 8 server, you'll have to install the regular client (10.2 optimally).
Yours,

Connect to Remote Oracle Database

I am unsuccessfully trying to connect to remote Oracle database using OleDB/ODBC/Oracle Client.
Do I have to install Oracle Client in order to use those drivers and which version?
I would really appreciate any help. THANK YOU!

Marina,
Please refer this question to the general Installation forum. Thanks!
The short answer is yes, you need to have the Oracle client software installed.

JDBC connect to remote Oracle, IOException,Help!

I am trying to connect to remote Oracle 8.1.6 resides on IBM AIX server, the oracle SID is correct, and ping host address is also successful. also, downloaded JDBC driver classes12.zip from oracle...but i still encounter the IOException: Network adapter cannot establish connection!...could anyone tell me how to test whether the oracle's listener works...?
i also tried to run the following piece of code on that IBM server, changed the host address to 'localhost', but still, the IOExcetpion:Network adapter cannot establish connection!...why? cos i am running the code on the server where Oracle resides.....
great appreciation for anyone replies me.....the code is here:

st.close ();
con.close ();
}catch(SQLException e)
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
public void doexample () throws SQLException
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select * from sales");
if(rs!=null) {
while(rs.next())
int a = rs.getInt("no"); System.out.println("NO = "+a);
rs.close();

System.out.println ("Oracle Exercise 1 \n");
try
viewtable test = new viewtable(args);
} catch (Exception ex)
System.err.println ("Exception caught.\n"+ex);
ex.printStackTrace ();

with an RS/6000, don't you have a db admin ? he/she should know how to set up the listener properly.
if you have to do it on your own, try the following things:
- www.orafaq.com is often very helpful
- search the web for "oracle listener" etc. A first goolg search gave me the following link: http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/Oracle-7-HOWTO.html
- check the files listener.ora and tnsnames.ora. They should be located somewhere in your oracle home direcotry on the server
good luck
PS: to start a listenter, type "startup" in the lsnrctl tool, maybe you can already see something.

ORA-12514 Error coming whenever trying to connect to database in TOAD

Hi,
When i'm logging in database(10g) through TOAD, i'm getting the error as:
"ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect

My listener.ora contains

The database is up and running and I've stopped-started the listener.
Still the error occurs. Could anyone suggest what can be done.

The error basically means that the connection service which you are requeting in your connection string is not yet to known to the listener of yours. See here the output of the listener's supported services from your post.

It clearly shows that the listener is only working to listen for the PLSExtproc service which is meant for external procedures.
Is the database just started? If that's the case than it may take a while to get the PMON register the db with the listener. Or you can issue,
alter system register from your db's sql prompt which can ask listener for immediately register the db with it. Try this command and post feedback. If that won't work than you may have to manualy register your db with the listener.
