Hi all,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8i on Windows-xp
Professional. it gets installed but runs only once.
that means its fails to run once I shut down the
system and restart & shows the message-"oracle not
found" or "tns server is not found". Can anybody
please help me? Thanks in advance.When attempting to install obsolete software on modern operating systems, one must expect problems. I've found that Oracle tends to survive well when installed on a supported platform which is upgraded, but there are usually issues when attempting a fresh install on a newer platform.
Your problem states "Oracle Not Found". Therefore your OS services know that they should be attempting to connect to an Oracle database but the database is 'not found'. Further, it says that the TNS Server is not found. TNS is Oracle's term for 'on the network'.
Is there a business reason that requires you to run obsolete software? If the database software MUST be obsolete, what is the logic behind upgrading the operating system? (In other words - why only upgrade one?)
You need to check the following things:
1) You have a static IP address and host name, and are NOT using DHCP;
(look at or post the result of command line "ipconfig /all")
2) Check whether the Oracle database service and the listener service are running;
(Under "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration Tools > Service" or command line services.msc)
3) Tell us how well the listener is running;
(Command line "lsnrctl status")

  • Oracle installtion on Windows 7 Professional

    Hi all,
    I just want to install oracle 10g on Windows 7 professional. But i am getting error during OUI installation after clickng on next on first screen there is a pop up message of unknown error
    can anyone help me out

    Pl post exact version of "10g" and whether Win 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit, along with the complete message from the install log file - the only certified version of "10g" on Win 7 is 10.2.0.5, and the install instructions are here -
    32-bit - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b14264/toc.htm#CIHCFAGA
    64-bit - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15680/toc.htm#BABEBBJF
    Applying the 10.2.0.5 patch set is mandatory - this assumes you have access to the patch on My Oracle Support. If you do not, then you will need to install 11gR2.

  • Problem in installing Oracle 9i on Windows XP professional

    I have completed a fresh installation of Windows Xp professional on my machine. The machine configuration is 261 RAM with 10 GB hard disk with NTFS partition and IE 6.
    When I tried to install Oracle 9i Client on my machine, it gives me the following error:
    The Java Runtime environment was not found at C;|Documents and Settings\Program Files\....\jrew.exe. Hence, the ORacle universal installer could not run.
    Plz help!

    Down the Java Runtime from Sun
    That might solve it :)
    If I recall, Java Runtime is not shipped with XP

  • Oracle 10g on Windows XP Professional SP2

    I have problem installing oracle 10 g on Windows XP Professional. When the installation goes to "Configuration Assistants", it shows three options, Oracle Net configuration Assistant, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and iSQL *Plus Configuration Assistant. However, the status of "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" keep showing "In progress.." for more than 6 hours. It seems the program is not responding, then I stopped the program, uninstall it and tried to install it again but the installation still stopped at "Configuration Assistants". I did the installation/uninstall 3 times already. Could anyone help and provide some solutions?

    Hi,
    you have two option to start your oracle service. your problem is your oracle serivce is not start.
    for that you can start manully....

    go services window. start >>>> run >>>> services.msc <<<enter>>>
    check and select oracle services and right click and set automatic..
    every time your system is reboot then oracle service is automatically is start.

  • Oracle Repository on Windows 2000 Professional

    Hi all,

    Regards..
    null

    Hi Arik,
    The short answer is yes, if you are using Oracle 8i 8.1.6 EE or 8.1.7 EE on the server.
    Information on operating system certification is available in the install guide here:
    http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/repository/doc_library/cmnhlp72/rep_insgde/igch1_65.htm#PreliminaryInformation
    In addition to what is specified in the install guide, the release notes state that Oracle 8.1.7 EE is also a certified server version.

  • Problem installing Oracle 11g on Windows XP Professional SP2

    I removed my Oracle 10g express from my XP Professional according the
    the blog at
    http://aricsblog.blogspot.com/2005/08/uninstalling-oracle-10g-manually-from.html
    Then I downloaded win32_11gR1_database.zip (1824539KB) from oracle and
    unzipped it.
    If I click either setup.exe or oui.exe, a dos console pops up and
    shows the following:
    Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

    It hangs there for about 1 minute and disappears, and nothing
    happens. Tried it a few times, and every time it was the same
    behavior.
    Am I missing anything critical? How can I install 11g on XP Pro?
    Thank you very much.

    Hav you checked you have enough swap space?I had the same issue when I tried installing Forms Developer.

    my main objective is to install OBIEE and for that I got to install oracle database, I did install both database and OBIEE then I didn't find any database to use for OBIEE (silly right :P). yes, that is true and I'm lost
    what to do now?
    Found easy way is re-installing, I tried uninstalling both and not sure whether database was deleted or not, the same case with OBIEE
    what I'm asking you is, "HOW TO ENSURE THAT I HAVE NO ORACLE DATABASE ON MY SYSTEM?"
    Don't take me the other-way, I'm very new with Oracle products
    Thanks for the patience & time of course :)
    Awaiting for your valuable response

  • Error message when installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP Professional

    Hello,
    I need help installing oracle 10g database. When I attempt to run the installation from the setup.exe icon, I get a message that says
    "Error in writing to directory C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Temp\OraInstall2007-04-29_01-19-29PM. Please ensure this directory is writable and has atleast 45Mb of disk space. Installation cannot continue."
    When I try to open the installation from the Autorun icon, it points to an innability to find setup.exe and when I go back to Setup.exe, it gives me the above error. Everytime I try to run the installation and it fails, the installation leaves a folder in my Temp folder with the above format. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I do have administrative privilege on my computer and I have plenty of space. I have 80gb of free space. What do I do to successfully install the software without incurring those messages I displayed in my first thread?
