directory manager

I am tryingt log in the orcle directory manager but it says that the server is down... I try with system manager, localhost, and the server is runing, it says server is not up and running 389/localhost... so whaqt shoudl I do to get the server up and running, e becasue it is up and runnig, I mean I can conect via dbastudio, other thing when I open the dbastudio, it gives me 2 different choisses, login to the oracle managment server and launch dbastudio standl alone, welll I have to select standalone because when I tryto login tho the OMS it asks for the anagment server wich is localhost, but it says unable to connect, asks for verifing the host name, it is localhost... the host is localhost, am I wrong? how do I correct this, how can I login to the OM I am strarting with thiso of oracle, I have aoracle 81, winn2000 server, on a laptop pc, some things work but some other do not ask o for thigs that I do not know, so please give me a hand, other question I read in a book that there is an oracle apication server, with many web interfaces for administrative tasks, how do I get there? I am talking about the Oracle appliactin server, I have isntalled oracle 8i ver 17, and I have never been able to get any kind of web interfaces, another thing I am getting this error msg, for http://localhost/demo/sql/bean/ConnBeanDemo.jsp

`m using connection and a query bean and i'm quering EMP names and Salary from EMP table in schema SCOTT..

There was an error doing the query:

java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135294976)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))

why is tis erro comming up? it is an example that comes with oracle installatin, and it sithe sme error msg for all the jsp examples of database conctin... conection.. so is my oracle not well installed? if it is not ok, I will reinstalled but what do I have to do in order to get it right? I would like to use the desgner, but it has been ipsible to use it, everytime I try to use it it says that it cannot conect to the database....I am trying to run the examples, the oralce jssp demo section, the localhost/demo, but I am getting mistakes in most of them..... so I assume I have sm mistakes, but how can I do the things rihgt, I just installed oracle and I am runnig the demo and what do I have to do are not the demos suppouse to work with no configuration of any kind just after the installation....here is another mistake:

Employee List in XML

 java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135294976)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))  

and I have not changed anythng, it has just comed uot after the installation.... so what shoudl I do, hey one ting that o comes out of no well better not tosay anything else but pelase please what do I have to do in ordr to have this oracle working ifne, what Iam I doing wrong? the only examples that are running are the basic examples-.... lotto and hello user but nothing that has to do with db....so please I really would like to get oracle runing, but really it is diving me crazy so me any mistakes after what was suuposue to be a sccesful installation... cheers
