Oracle 8i install on NT server

Hi,
I have downloaded the NT Oracle 8i trial version, and during the installation, at sample DB creation time, I get the
following
ORA-12560: TNS error: protocol adapter error
In the pdf doc on errors, it says stuff that we should be checking only after the install, or I don't know since I'm just starting with this product.
We are a great potential client. I don't know how this forum works, but if we can't make it work we'll have to switch to another solution.
Thanks,please reply to [email protected]

Thank you -
I will try

  • How to find whether Oracle is installed on any server or not.

    Hi,
    I am trying to use the following command to check if Oracle is installed on any Unix server or not. I am not sure whether it is right way or not. If not, is there any other way to find installation of Oracle or not?
    find . -name oraInst.loc >>/tmp/`uname -n`-swinv.txt
    Thanks
    Vipin Gupta

    Every installation of Oracle RDBMS in *nix will contain a bin directory in which you find the oracle executable which must be setuid to the 'oracle' owner.
    The inventory doesn't need to exist.
    The oraInst.log doesn;t need to exist
    The above are created when the Oracle Universal Installer has been used.
    The oratab doesn't need to exist.
    The above exists when the dbca has been used or the DBA was smart enough to plan for oraenv.
    However, every Oracle database needs the oracle executable, named oracle, in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory, and that must be owned by a userid in the 'OS_DBA' group - usually dba. So
    find / -name oracle
    to find that, and then check whether it is in a ?/bin directory, and finally verify that it is setuid to the owner and setgid to the group.
    Of course that is the tip of the oracle iceberg - Oracle has a whale of a lot more products and the question to find whether 'Oracle' is installed might include Oracle App Server (look for opmnctl in ?/opmn/bin for the full install of Oracle App Server, or ?/bin/oc4j for just the J2EE engine) or Oracle JDeveloper (look for ?/bin/jdev) and so on.
    In Windows, append .exe to the search target.

  • Oracle 10g install on Windows server 2008 R2 ( 6.1 )

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g over windows server 2008 R2 (6.1) but it gives error that OS is not supported. I tried to install below version.
    Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0)
    Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows Vista x64, Windows Server 2008 x64,
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, Windows 7 x64
    But it fails with error that OS version 6.1 is not supported. On download page it is written to get 10.2.0.5 patch from My Oracle support for windows server 2008 R2, I got patch p8202632_10205_MSWIN-x86-64 but it requires a pre-installed oracle home.
    So how should I install Oracle 10g as 10.2.0.4 does not get installed and the patch asks for a previous install?
    The reason I am installing Oracle 10g is that our Java application is running in production over JDK 1.4 and Oracle 11g does not provide JDBC driver for JDK 1.4, is there any JDBC driver for Oracle 11g that can work with JDK 1.4?
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Best Regards!

  • How to find out if Oracle is Installed in server

    I apologize for the simple question but no one in here seems to know if our server has Oracle installed or not. I have no experience in Oracle and have root access to the server but dont know the command to check wether Oracle is installed or not! anyone?
    I thank you in advance for any help
    Eduardo

    This is one of those questions that can be a bit difficult to answer, given all the possibilities in the world. Since you said the magic word "root" I will assume you are on unix or at least a posix system.
    http://tahiti.oracle.com has installation guides, find the one for your platform and check that. It should give a good foundation of what you want to look for. But some people get creative and some things are decisions by the DBA.
    Since oracle may be installed and not running, looking for oracle processes may not tell you if oracle is installed. But a ps|grep ora can often give clues. It is even possible to delete files while oracle is running... (I've seen oracle uninstalled - it keeps running but new users can't log in. This is because rm a file doesn't actually remove a file until everyone is done with it.) Also, check ipcs - shared memory being used by oracle is a clue oracle is installed and/or running, but even that can be misleading with some configurations - sometimes a bungled startup will leave a mess.
    Many unix systems have clues in /etc or /var/opt. Look for files with names like oratab and oraenv. Look at your passwd and group files, see if there are users with names like 'oracle' and groups like 'dba'. Look at user .profile, .cshrc, .bashrc, .kshrc files and see if there are references to oracle environment setting. $ORACLE_BASE, $ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_SID are often good clues, as well as references to oraenv or similar names. Look at the system startup files and see if there are references to oracle: there could be things like /sbin/rc*/*ora*, /etc/rc.d/*/*ora*, and so forth. Often the rc directories have a link to an init directory, such as a file like /sbin/init.d/oracle. There may be an inventory around somewhere called oraInventory, perhaps under $ORACLE_BASE, and installation log files, check your install guide for names. Also, if you have found $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID in an oratab, you might check $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/bdump/alert*log. Be aware that $ORACLE_HOME and the "oracle home directory" probably are not the same.
    Older systems that have been clumsily dealt with may have all these things, and yet still not have "oracle installed." Good luck.
    For these reasons and more, usually you would want to specify exact platform and oracle versions.
    Edit: fixed alert log location

  • Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server

    I downloaded "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP" and installed the personal edition. It did not install successfully and gave this error message:
    Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
    The specified key was not found while trying to GetValue
    - stop installation of all products.
    - stop installation of this component only.
    The installation of Oracle 9i Database was unsuccessful
    The Integration tools and client installed just fine from the same download. Why didn't the database install successfully? All the other components seemed to install just fine and the database appeared to be created - but I could not open it and there was not start menu option for DBA Studio.
    I am running Windows 2000 professional with Service Pack 3 on a 2 GHz Pentium4 machine with 512MB Rambus RAM, 32bit color graphics ATI All-in-Wonder card, about 40GB of disk space, a local peer-to-peer network via cat5 cable to another Win2k P3 machine, and Creative Soundblaster Audigy card. Do I need to adjust any network settings? Would it help or hinder if I installed MS IIS? WinNT has a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) but Win2k has COM+ instead; does that make a difference in terms of the installer looking for MTS? Do I need to configure COM+ in some special way / change settings?

    HI Salman,
    I am doing the following.
    1. I am installing Oracle 10.2.01 Database(Not Client) on my windows Xp laptop. While installation i Choose the custom option and Check the Oracle Windows Interface. In that i check the "Install Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server" checkbox. The installation goes on fine till 99% and when it tries to install the
    Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server it gives an error saying that "Microsoft Transaction server" was not found on the system.
    I had previously installed the same on my laptop and it was working fine. but after uninstallation when i try to re install i get this problem.
    If i go to the services.msc option in windows i still see the OracleMTSRecoveryService option even when i have uninstalled oracle. But when i try to start the services i get the following error
    Could Not start the OracleMTSRecoveryService on the local computer.
    Error 3: The system cannot find the file specified.
    Any help on how to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated

  • Oracle 9I Database, and Mobile Server install history

    Dear Oracle technical representative:
    This TAR started out as a true request for help in solving installation problems with Oracle 9i Release 2 Enterprise Edition, and Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1, but it has turned into a history of frustration with out of date, laconic, and often incorrect, and misleading documentation. As a software developer, I understand that documentation is always out of date, at least mine is. Nonetheless, I must speak my mind while understanding, and sympathizing with your situation.
    I struggled through the documentation, and managed to get everything working. While I was doing that, I wrote down the step by step procedure that I used to get Database, and Mobile Server running. By sharing this rough install history with you, it is my hope that it will help prevent others from experiencing the same difficulties that I have had. It has been my observation that when a user has problems installing a trial software package they give up quickly, and do not purchase a copy. It is thus extremely important that the installation instructions, and quick start guide be accurate, attentive to detail, and well written. The first impression is the one that counts.
    The Oracle 9i Lite Installation, and Configuration Guide for Windows NT shipped with Oracle 9i Lite Release 5.0.1 definitely requires, and emergency rewrite. It is terribly out of date, inaccurate, and laconic. My guess is that it is a very sloppy rewrite of poorly written 8i documentation. The Oracle 9i Database Installation Guide for Windows is somewhat better. It however should do a better job informing you that before installing onto a old server the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC), and VC runtime libraries must be up to date. The history describes the trouble with not having the MFC42.dll at version 6. Another corker is that the default port the installer presents is 2030, and not 1521, and that leads to major confusion in the both the Database, and Mobile Server installs.
    Thank you for looking at the history. I hope that it will be of use to you when you update your documentation.

    TAR for Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition, and Oracle Lite Release 5.0.1 Mobile Server
    Installation problems are highlighted in red.
    Installation sequence/history:
         1. Installed Windows NT 4.0 Server SP1 on Dell Power Edge 4300 dual x86 server to wipe the slate clean.
         2. Setup TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX networks
              Computer name YGGDRASILL
              Host name = YGGDRASILL
              Domain = CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Internet name = YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSATE.EDU = 130.18.130.225
         3. Installed NT SP3, and Internet Explorer 4.01 from the NT 40 Options Pack CD as the gateway to installing MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0.
         4. Installed MTS 2.0, and IIS 4.0 from NT 4.0 Optins Pack CD.
         5. Applied NT 4.0 SP6.
         6. Installed Internet Explorer 5.5 as a prerequisite to installing MADAC 2.6.          
         7. Installed MDAC 2.6
         8. Installed Paint Shop Pro 7 for capturing error screens.
         9. As previous install errors stated that the ordinal function xxxx could not be found in MFC42.dll, the latest version (6.0.8665.0) of the dll was installed, and registered from MS VC++ SP5. Also I upgraded MSVCIRT.dll, MSVCRT.dll, MSCRT40.dll, and added MSVC60.dll from SP5 to be on the safe side.
    According to the installation documents all the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Release 2 Database Enterprise Edition are satisfied.
         10. Began install of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with target parameters:
              Home directory = D:\Oracle\Ora92
              Database directory = D:\Oracle\oradata
              Global database name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU
              Port = 2030
              SID = FIA
              SYSTEM Password = phwphw
              SYS Password = phwphw
              SCOTT Password = phwphw
              DBSNMP Password = I left this one unassigned or empty.
              tnsnames.ora entry for remote TCP/IP connection
              a. CD 1 of 3 load
                   1. Error writting to MFC42u.dll. Action ignore. A check indicated that MFC42u.dll version did not match the updated version of MFC42.dll. Plan is to update after install. Unicode version of MFC is probably not used by the installer.
              b. CD 1 completed with only one problem, and CD 2 load begins.
              c. CD 2 installed without incident., and CD 3 load begins, and completes without farther problems. The only issue to address at this time is to update the MFC42u.dll.
                   HTTP Server URLs
                        http://7778
                        https://4443
         12. Evaluation of install success begins.
              a. Oracle HTTP Service will not start. It is of particular interest that on installs that I do not upgrade the MFC42.dll the Oracle HTTP Service will start correctly, but during the install I get the error message Ordinal nnnn not found in MFC42.dll, and the Oracle MTS Recovery Service crashes during the install. I am caught between a rock and hard spot on this one. See the Figure 1. At the end of this document. I do not need the HTTP Server at this time but I will need it later and this issue must be resolved. It appears that it hangs during startup. I am sorry but I lost the ordinal number nnnn.
              When I try to start the HTTP server from the Programs menu. It Hangs, and does not return an error message. See Figure 2, and the included Apache Setup.txt, the install log, and the HTTPd.conf . The conf, and setup files look OK to me. What is the problem?          
              b. All other services start correctly.
              c. Logged into the database as SCOTT on the server with SQL Plus using the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
              I created some tables, inserted data, and queried for the data. Everthing seems to be working correctly.
              d. Logged in remotely from my AOL account on a dial-up line using Oracle 9i Release 2 Personal Edition installed on my ThinkPad. Every thing tested out as above. I used the connection information:
                   FIA.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU =
                   (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                   (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu)(PORT = 1521))
                   (CONNECT_DATA =
                   (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                   (SERVICE_NAME = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU)
         13. I concluded that except for the Oracle HTTP Server Service not starting correctly, and that after updating the MFC42u.dll to VC++ SP5 level the stage is set for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1. I copied the MFC42u.dll to the server and registered it successfully.
         14. As Visual Studio 6.0 Professional updates all of the MFC stuff, I decides to install it at this juncture, and apply SP5.
         15. Installed JDK1.3.1 required for Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
    At this time the prerequisites for installing Oracle 9i Mobile Server Release 5.0.1 are satisfied, and MFC, and rt are at version 6.
    It is important to note that after installing MS Visual Studio Professional 6.0 SP5, the HTTP server started working. It is clear that prior to installing Oracle Database it is essential that MFC, and possibly other components are upgraded before starting an installation of Oracle. This probably only applies to old NT servers, but it should be mentioned in the installation instructions.
         16. Attempt to install Oracle Mobile Server Release 5.0.1
              a. File locations Screen
                   Name: = OraLite501               
                   Path: = D:\OraLite501
              b. Select Mobile Server at Installation Screen
              c. Mobile Server Repository Database Information Screen
                   Hostname = YGGDRASILL = hostname from tnsnames.ora
                   Port = 2030 = same as Database port
                        It is troublesome that the port in tsnames.ora is 1521, and not 2030 as was specified in the database install. I will try this port on the reinstall. On the retry, it worked. The problem was that I was mislead by the default port of 2030 at the database install. The database was actually installed on port 1521, and I was not given an error message, or warning. As I am a first time installer of Oracle products this threw me for a loop. The default port for the database needs to be 1521, if regardless of what the user specifies for a port you are going to install on port 1521.
                   Net Service Name = FIA.YGGDRASILL.CFR.MSSTATE.EDU = Global database name as required by installation instructions.
              d. Yes. At Do you want to install the Mobile Server Repository question.
              e. At Oracle Protocol Support, I checked the SPX box.
              f. Summary, and Install screens function to specifications.
              g. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Database System password:
                        Password = phwphw
              h. Mobile Server Repository Wizard
                   Schema Name: fiafield
                   Password : fiafield
              i. Success at last with the install part. The problem was the wrong port number. See my above comments on this problem, and how Oracle could grease the skids for the next first time installer.
         j. I could not find the httpd.conf file in the place the install instructions said it should be for running the Mobile Server in Oracle HTTP Server. Since only one copy of httpd.conf existed, I added the include D:\OraLite501\mobile\server\bin\wtgias.conf to the bottom of the file assuming that it is the correct one. I the re-booted instead of using apache -k restart. The Oracle HTTP Server started, so there is hope. The install instructions state that the httpd.conf file would most likely be in the program files directory, when they are really installed in the Oracle Lite home directory.
         k. According to the documentation the Mobile Server should start when the Oracle HTTP Server starts with the wtgias.conf file added to the httpd.conf file. It does not. If I use Process Explorer, I know that Apache loaded the wtgias.conf, because both Apache.exe processes that are running have the wtgias.dll loaded. The facts are at this stage of the game are
              1. OraMTSRecoveryService is started
              2. OracleOraHome92HTTPService is started
              3. OracleOraHome92Listener is started on port
              4. OracleServiceFIA is started
              5. Apache.exe has the wtgias.dll loaded
              6. The Moble Server is not running and it should be if the documentation is correct.
              7. If I start the Mobile Server either as a service using wtgsvc -i or with the webtogo command from the DOS prompt, the Mobile Server starts, but when I attempt to log in with the URL http://Yggdrasill:7778/webtogo/startup it inform me the Mobile Server is not started and it is. Figure 3 shows the response I receive from the login attempt.
         l. I finally ran the Mobile Server in total debug mode using the command webtogo -d0", and it gave me the subtle hint that the correct URL is
              http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup.
         When I use the above URL and I can login to the Mobile Server with UN = fiafield, and PW = fiafield. I was confused by the documentation. I was under the assumption that the host address would be either http://Yggdrasill:7778, or http://Yggdrasill:4443. After all when I, installed Oracle Database these URLs were listed. It needs to be made clear in the installation guide for the mobile server that the Mobile Server address is http://Your servers WWW address/webtogo/startup, and the statements about the Mobile Server will start when the Oracle HTTP Server is started needs to be removed since they are incorrect. Also, the documentation should clearly state that the Schema Name, and Password given in the Repository Wizard Screen are synonymous with the username, and password for the Mobile Server login.
         m. After determning the hard way that the Mobile Server does not start when the the Oracle HTTP Server starts, and that the correct URL is http://Internet address/webtogo/startup = http://Yggdrasill.cfr.msstate.edu/webtogo/startup, I decide to start the Mobile Server as a service with the command wtgsvc -i. After I re-booted, to my surprise, I could not login to the Mobile Server. When I checked the system services, the webtogo service was running. So to give the start as a service thing a fair chance I re-booted again, but obtained the same results. I thus concluded that the Mobile Server will not run correctly as a service. As it turns out my conclusion was wrong. After waiting a few minutes, my login try was successful. The documentation should indicate that after booting it may be a minute or two before the Mobile Server service become available.
         n. After some serious problems with the installer, and the documentation everything is working. I have a green light to go on to the next stage, which is program the handheld to take advantage of the Mobile Server. I will be glad to get back to programming, and am so thankful that I am not a network administrator.

  • Install oracle 10g on windows 2003 server issues

    I am very new to oracle
    I installed oracle 10g release 2 Enterprise Edition on a Win 2003 Server.
    I got all oracle services running after install
    But I can not connect to the database from another machine which is on the same domain
    I set USE_SHARED_SOCKET =TRUE under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Oracle/HOME
    (as I learned from the forum)
    I turned off windows firewall (or with the firewall turned on add port 1521 to Exceptions list) .
    I restarted listener serivces and I even reboot the machine Still I can not connect to the database from another machine.
    What am doing wrong here?
    We are on a tight schedule now any help will be very appriciated.

    Firewall-related problems normally throw ORA-12535, not ORA-12170 (the message a timeout occurred is the same). Description for this error is:
    Error:     ORA-12170 (ORA-12170)
    Text:     TNS:Connect timeout occurred
    Cause:     The server shut down because connection establishment with a
         client failed to complete within the allotted time interval. This
         may be a result of network/system delays; or this may indicate
         that a malicious client is trying to cause a Denial of Service
         attack on the server.
    Action:     If the error occurred because of a slow network/system,
         reconfigure the SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in
         sqlnet.ora to a larger value. If a malicious client is suspected,
         use the address in sqlnet.log to identify the source and restrict
         access. Note that logged addresses may not be reliable as they can
         be forged (e.g. in TCP/IP).
    Hostname in listener.ora has a domain included, while in tnsnames.ora has not. Y Can you ping the host? Does tnsping work? To get more detailed informations you may turn on tracing on the client side (in sqlnet.ora) and the server sid (in listener.ora).

    Dear all,
    May I know what is the best practice for install oracle 11g r2 on windows server 2008 r2. Should I create a special account for windows for the oracle database installation? What permission should I grant to the folders where Oracle installed and the database related files located (datafiles, controlfiles, etc.)
    Just grant Full for Administrators and System and remove permissions for all others accounts?
    Also how should I configure windows firewall to allow client connect to the database.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to install a new oracle 9i  in the same server where a 8i is installed

    Hello and sorry for been an inexperience dba.
    Now I need to install 9i oracle version in the same server (solaris os-5.9) where is previously installed a 8i. I'm reading the installation guide and I know that I have to make two different oracle home, and then two different owners .
    My problem is when I've seen the kernel parameters and their permissions and of course all of them have the owner the old oracle user.
    Do you know if I have to change some of this parameters?
    How to do that, and where can I find some guide to follow ?
    thanks in advance

    and then two different owners .Not necessarily, you can use the same OS user, of course on a different Oracle Home.
