cannot connect to Oracle on Linux
Hello,
I installed Oracle 10g 64Bit on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) and it seems it work fine but
when I try to connect to it with SQL Navigator I get error message
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
here is my setup
I have windwos 7 64 Bit with Oracle Client 32Bit
I can connect to all other servers that we have (in tnsnames.ora) with no problems
my OEL is installed on a VMware Workstation (worked fine when I had Windows Server with Oracle)
all what I did is make another VM with OEL and Oracle 10g
when I installed OEL I use the Oracle-Validate package
from the server side all seems OK (I welcome any help to make an internal test)
I just need to connect to it with SQL Navigator and tart using it :-)
here is the files on the server

tnsping only talks to the listener, not the actual database.
The errors above mean the database itself is down. Go to the server in question and check the alert log for the database and see why it isn't starting up.

Thanks,
do you have any tips on how to check/test/diagnose the problem?
what logs should I check?
for me when I write the command "dbstart" it does not return any error!
also I can log into sqlplus in the server!

Which entry in the tnsnames.ora file is generating the ORA-01034?

I want to connect to VM.Linux
I hope it is that what you mean (asked)
yep.
So you have Oracle installed locally and want to connect to Oracle on your Linux VM, correct?
When you are logged in to 192.168.222.20:
You can connect with SQL*Plus?
The listener on the Linux machine is listening for ORCL( lsnrctl status)?
Also, the '.' might be confusing Oracle into thinking a domain setup. try changing the tnsnames.ora file to: VM_Linux

Hello,
The Oracle DB is installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux which is running in a Virtual Machine (in my PC)
now from my PC which is running Windows 7 I want to connect to the Oracle Database
I have another Virtual Machine on the same PC which is Windows Server and I could connect to it with no problems at all!
the Windows server had the IP 192.168.222.10 and with the "." it worked perfectly (and the other windows servers at work has also "." and they all work)
but as you said it's maybe the Linus Server who does not like the "." !?!
yes, The listener on the Linux machine is listening for ORCL( lsnrctl status)
within the same server I can connect to the database with SQLPlus using #sqlplus "as sysdba" and it works
but I can not connect to it from the windows client! I get the same error as the SQL Navigator
I will test the vm.linux to vm_linux ? but here at my Computer or the VM ?

From your computer.
you say from your computer tnsping vm.Linux works? It shows the correct server and service.
It's only when you try: sqlplus /@vm.linux as sysdba that it fails. Please confirm.

Hi,
when I "tnsping vm.linux" from my computer it works I get OK
and it shows everything right
when I try to "sqlplus /@vm.linux as sysdba"
I get error

then I get a questions to enter username and password, I did and I get another error

Do you need to connect remotely 'as sysdba'? You will need to mess with the password file (orapwd) and remote authentication.

From a Linux terminal window: sqlplus / as sysdba

Then from your local machine try connecting as myuser (no 'as sysdba').

so I changed vm.linux to vm_linux and tnsping and it is OK
now when I try to "sqlplus /@vm_linux as sysdba"
I get error
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
then I get a questions to enter username and password, I did and I get another error
ORA-12560: TNS:error with protocol adepter
and I get the same if I run within the server !!!
Forget 'as sysdba' for now. That is a special privilege and normally you don't need to connect as SYS remotely.
You created a test user so from your local PC try: sqlplus mytest/mytest@vm_linux
I assume the tnsnames entry on your local machine is vm_linux and you didn't change it back to vm.linux.
>>ORA-12560: TNS:error with protocol adepter
This is probably because of the tnsnames.ora file on the Linux machine.

Let's back up for a minute and explain a little about Oracle. Oracle out of the box is client-server. The server needs specific config files and the client needs specific config files. One of the main client configs is the tnsnames.ora file. So, every 'client' connection over a network needs the tnsnames.orace file properly configured.
>>from within the server
>>[oracle@oracle ~]$ sqlplus mytest/mytest@vm_linux;
Have you configred the tnsnames.ora file on the linux box to know about vm_linux?
>>and it askes for username and password again!
>>
>>Enter user-name: mytest
>>Enter password: mytest
You did not specify @vm_linux so it didn't use the tnsnames.ora file. I hope this makes sense.
>>now when I try to "sqlplus mytest/mytest@vm_linux" from my PC
Did you reboot the Linux VM?
tripple check:
the database is up and running in the Linux VM:
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
the tnsnames.ora file on the PC to make sure it is pointing the the Linux VM. and tnsping vm_linux still works

Don't worry about this right now. That is a different problem. You will want one eventually so dbshut gets executed on shutdown (otherwise the database isn't being shutdown properly).
>>but I do not have it in my system! should I create it manually ?
probably not. If you don't have it then I'm thinking you didn't run root.sh after the initial install. This used to be the script that created all that.

Shouldn't matter but I'm not sure what put the 'HS' in yours. For grins, change the name for your entry to vm_linux2 and paste mine in.
Then staying on the linux server.
test the new entry: tnsping vm_linux
then test the connection: sqlplus /@vm_linux as sysdba

This is weird.
If you can connect locally and vm_linux in the linux tnsnames.ora file points to the same ip address, tnsping vm_linux works: You shouldn't get a ORA-01034.
Do you see anything with: ps -ef | grep pmon

no problem. typos happen.
I'm running out of ideas to try. The database appears to be up and running. Everything seems to be configured properly. I can't guess why "sqlplus mytest/mytest@vm_linux" is giving you a ORA-01034.
If we can't get that fixed, I'm thinking there is no way to connect from your host OS.
I've never messed with Oracle Linux but a quick check with our Windows admin (he knows a little Linux), he's thinking it might be the Linux iptables (sort of like a firewall).
For test purposes:
Try changing the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file to use the local loopback (127.0.0.1).
Then bounce the listener:
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
Make sure ORCL is in the list then try sqlplus again:
--make sure Oracle is still up
sqlplus mytest/mytest
--then test the network
sqlplus mytest/mytest@vm_linux

is there any why to try to test connection directly against the IP and ignore the tnsnames.ora ???
>>is there any why to try to test
Yes and no. There are other ways for connecting, like LDAP but TNSNAMES is the simplest ( believe it or not ).
Not that I think there's an issue here but what does your sqlnet.ora file look like?

Get some rest. If I think of anything later I'll post back. When you get back to working on this you might click the 'Request Attention' link above. This will send out a 'call for help' to other experts.
Hopefully they can see what both of us can't.

No. ORACLE in the error message is not the database name. It is hard-coded in the error message.
