TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error (when starting database)

Hi.. everyone.
I am testing oracle9i and oracle10g on the same machine, windows xp pro.
When I was trying to start oracle10g using command line mode,
I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
I entered these command.
set oracle_home=10g_homexxxx
set oracle_sid=xxdb
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/xxx as sysdba
I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
The install of two different versions of oracle , oracle9i and oracle10g,
on the same machine(windows xp pro) could cause this problem?
Is it safe to install two different versions of oracle on the same window machine?
Is there any confliction in environment variables?
I think there is no problem on the linux, unix system.
I stoped the listener of oracle9i and tried again. But I failed.
I am looking forwared to hearing your experience and advice.
Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
Ho.

Dear Werner.
Thanks for your reply.
I shutdown oracle9i and 10g, using "services.msc" utility from windows.
Therefore, "OracleService<xxdd>" is not running.
What I want to do is to startup 10g database using "cmd",command line mode.
In addition, I would like to know why I could not start 10g database, using "cmd"
on windows xp pro.
I installed 9i first and installed 10g. I think there are a kind of environment variable
conflictions.
I am wondering how I can fix them, and whether or not they are curable.
Thanks for your reply. Have a good day.
Regards.
Ho.

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting listner

Hi,
I am having this error when trying to start my oracle database listener.
I can connect to database normally with SqlPlus
Microsoft Loopback Adapter is installed and config with a fixed IP address. The IP add with computer name and domain is specified in the hosts file.
I didn't modify anything to the default listener.ora file.
Any suggestion. Thank you very much.
Best regards
K.

Now I am able to start my listener after I turn off my firewall and restart my computer. The port might be blocked previously ?
However, now I can't connect to the database even in Sql plus. When connect using user name and password, I have the same error: TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Testing my connection in Net CA, it said: "TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor".
In tnsnames.ora, I have SERVICE_NAME= orcl.
Result of tnsping orcl is "..OK<100msec>"
But result of lsnrctl services is: "The listnener supports no services"
I can't find any clue?
P/S: I am using Oracle database 11g EE Release 11.1.0.7.0 on Window platform.

Getting ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting Oracle8i SVRMGR

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums, and I guess you could say "somewhat new" to the Oracle DB. I've played around with it casually in the past, but never got real serious with it :)
Anyhow, I wanted to see if someone could help with this. I found an old thread on a similar issue, but nothing seemed to help at all towards resolution, so I thought I would start a new thread, and maybe get some fresh ideas.
The issue is, I start SVRMGR on Oracle8i, and get the ORA-1260: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Here is my setup:
OS: Win2k Advanced Server
CPU: 2 - 930MHz Intel Xeon's
RAM: 1GB DIMM
DB Version: Oracle8i
No firewalls or any other TCP interference. Ok, so now that's out the way :), here is the issue:
When I start the SVRMGR, I get that error immediately. I have checked my tnsnames.ora file, and found some discrepancies, and have corrected them (at least to my knowledge), restarted all the Windows services running the various databases, and closed/re-opened the SVRMGR, and still get the same thing.
For reference, here is a copy of the tnsnames.ora file:

The ones I commented out were either non-existant databases, or the databases were shutdown, because they are not presently being used.
If someone could help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

HI,
1). Can you connect normally from SQL Plus?
-----------------------Here is entry in your Tnsnames.ora file.------------------------------
#You must check that your Dbase Listener is Listening request on port 1521.
ORCL9i =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Local-Server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl9i)
2). For pinging a service.
If you've Microsoft Windows.
If your database service name is orcl9i
Run->Cmd
Tnsping orcl9i
--It will give you as following information either "OK" or Fail.

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when trying to connect

hopefully somebody can help me out... the problem i'm having is connecting to the scott/tiger database. i keep getting :

thanx,

You can run the net8 assistant to set up your tnsnames.ora file.
start/programs/oracle/network administration/net8 assistant
When you are done it should look something like this:

Gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing oracle 10g

I tried to install oracle 10g r2 in server 2008. but it gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing. how I can fix this issue??? please help me ASAP. because its urgent.
thanks in advance.
chamara

Welcome to the forums !
Pl indicate which version of 10g you are installing and on which version of Win 2008. Neither 10gR1 nor 10gR2 are certified to be installed on Win 2008 R1, AFAIK.
For 10gR2, only 10.2.0.5 is certified for Win 2008 R2 - see MOS Doc 1173433.1 (How to Install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on MS Windows 7 / Windows 2008R2)
Also see MOS Doc 740926.1 (Where can I find the Database / Client software to download for Microsoft Vista, or Windows 2008R1?).
Both 10gR1 and 10gR2 are now in extended support - is there a reason you are not using 11gR2 ?

Reply to : TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup

To answer the post from Manwendra Jun 20, 2013 7:17 AM
" TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup "
https://community.oracle.com/message/11077982#11077982
Hello,
Probably that you already have the listener up and running from your installation of SES.
Also, you could check in your Windows Services (from the Control Panel), you'll see that
there is a service like OraclesesTNSListener up and running.
If it is the case, then it's probably why it is telling you the message below when trying to start it again:
TNS-01106: Listener using listener name LISTENER has already been started
Then, before trying to start the listener, you can check if it is already up by running the command : lsnrctl status
If you need to shut it down, then you can run the command : lsnrctl stop
for example, from the command line:
> set ORACLE_SID=ASUSES
> set ORACLE_BASE=D:\ses\
> set ORACLE_HOME=D:\ses\seshome
> cd %ORACLE_HOME%/bin
> lsnrctl status            <== this will give you the status of your listener
> lsnrctl stop              <== this will stop your listener
> lsnrctl start             <== this will start your listener
Hope this can help you and others.
Regards,
-Stephan

i have done that. i copied the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora files from the c:>oracle-home\network\admin folder into oracle_devhome\network\admin folder. i have also set the environment variable oracle_sid=skoolman. skoolman is my sid as you can see on the tnsnames.ora. but the error massage still comes up as soon as i run forms from the forms builder environment.
but as i said i am able to connect to the database with my user name and pass word from within the forms builder environment to access my tables and create data blocks etc but as soon as i run the form through internet explorer the forms servlet boots up and the error massage ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error pops up.

ORA 12560 OTN Protocol Adapter Error

I installed Oracle 9iAS DB and Developer. When I tried to run Form (Form Builder). I could not establish the connection.
After insert username and password (without hostname), the error said, ORA 12560 OTN Protocol Adapter Error. However, when I put the hostname, the message alert 'the service name could not be solved' or sth. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you so much

Hey Nikhil,
I have the same problem, however when I try to run the commands u have asked to run I get errors.
When I try
c:>svrmgrl
'svrmgrl' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
operable program or batch file.
and when I start lsnrctl
LSNRCTL> lsnrctl start
NL-00853: undefined command "lsnrctl". Try "help"
I am using XP , the database is on other drive and the Developer suite is on other drive however, Listener is working fine. This error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" comes only when I try to log into my database from isqlplus. I am using 9i. Any Ideas on what should be done.

I don't know what else I could have done given the behavior of the service.You can avoid problems like this in the future by avoiding Windows & using any approved *NIX Operating System.
No such "service" or daemon exist on any *NIX OS.

ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error while installing database

Hello,
I'm having troubles while installing my oracle database 10g. My server is SUN OS 5.10
When I am in the copying datafiles step, a pop up message shows up [ORA-12560 TNS: Protocol adapter error]
Could you please help me?

I am creating the database the database.
I am relatively new in Oracle but I have created a DB before and the ORACLE_SID was set after the database was created.
The steps I execute for are:
1. Install the Oracle engine (without create the DB)
2. Install the Patch
3. Create the database (dbca)
After the database is created, appears a popup (Database configuration assistance warning) where it says to set the oracle_sid among others steps.
Is it mandatory to set the ORACLE_SID before? some other configuration that I could be missing?
Thank you

Check if your tnsnames.ora file has the entry for database you are trying to connect.
Are you able to connect using sqlplus??

"Insufficient privileges"-error when starting database when on network

Hi
I have an Oracle 9.2.0.5 database installed on my laptop (Windows 2000 Prof), but I have a small problem.
When I'm plugged in to the company's network, I can start the database normally.
However, when I'm not connected to the company network, i.e. only logged in locally on my laptop, then I get an ORA-01031 Insufficient Privileges error when I start the database. Therefor, I can't do anything.
When I'm plugged into the company network, start the database, and then unplug my laptop, I can still connect to the database. So I guess it checks some userrights only when it starts the database.
I checked the user account settings, and my user is a local administrator, and is in the ORA_DBA usergroup.
Does someone know which setting I have to change?

You can install MS Loopback Adapter on your system and assign an IP Address to the loopback adapter. You should then be able to work even when not connected to the network.

ORA-01031 Error When starting Database

I have installed Oracle 11gr2 on my laptop having OS ubuntu 10.04, after installation i am receiving ORA-01031 error when try to log in with the command
sqlplus / as sysdba what should i do to resolve it...

Hi,
there are a lot of possibilities why this can be wrong. Look at Oracle Support for note 233223.1, "Checklist for Resolving CONNECT AS SYSDBA (INTERNAL) Issues". This gives links to notes which leads you to maybe the solution.
Possibilities are:
- you are root, which is not allowed. You should connect with the oracle user
- your user is not part of the dba group
- permissions on files
- and many more
