ORA-12560 while creating database Oracle 11.1.0.6

Question

Hi,
I tried to create a Oracle Database using Oracle installer.
I got the error ORA-12560
This is part of the logfile:
INFO: Configuration assistant "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" succeeded

INFO: The "E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands" script contains all commands that failed, were skipped or were cancelled.

INFO: Since there is an Internal Plugin Invocation or a Java Plugin Invocation tool in the Oracle Home E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1 we use the runConfig Command instead of the plugin's command

INFO: The backed up file name is E:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\configToolFailedCommands.bak
SEVERE: OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed/cancelled. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any "Recommended" assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the 'Retry' button to retry them.

Good morning Siegwin,
First, you should probably post to this forum: [Database - General|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=61]
However, the error you are getting is a TNS error. You should check the following information in your TNSNAMES.ORA on your system and on the Database Server.
<li>Name of the database
<li>Port Number of the database as defined in the TNSNAMES - compare against the port number that the database is actually listening on
<li>The SID defined in the TNSNAMES file.
On the Database Server:
<li>Check that there is a listener running and that it is listening for your database.
Don.
