Database Log In Failed
TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring entry of the DAD for this URL is valid and the database listener is running.

Hello Teijo
sorry about this, but I have checked on both of my two standalone servers(Running similar softwares and settings(host name...etc) independently) I can't see any service registerd by APACHE LISTENER.The only listener service available is for ORACLE8i under the oracle8iHome.
The only running service under the 9iASHome is HTTPServer.During both installations I didn't encounter any problems,everything ended succefully.Can you p'se let me know if this sounds Ok to you?

This looks like a tnsnames.ora issue. I copied a reply from a similar post:
Since you have multiple Oracle homes, you are probably looking at the wrong tnsnames.ora. The reason why SQL*Plus is working is because it is being picked up from an Oracle Home where the correct tnsnames.ora resides. Here is a quick way to confirm this
- Stop the Apache Listener service
- Open a "Console prompt window"
- Go to $IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache
- Set TNS_ADMIN=Directory_with_correct_tnsnames.ora
- Issue "tnsping your_dbalias_name" to verify that you can ping the database. If this does not work, then your tnsnames.ora is incorrect
- If it works, startup Apache by issuing "start Apache -k start"
- Try connecting to Portal thru your browser
- This should work.
- Post a reply if this does not work<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
