Re: Visual Basic connection to Oracle Personal 8i

I have the same problem as his. When I use Net8 to config the connection, I get the error:
ORA-12500:TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process

In file tnsnames.ora is the following:
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (SOURCE_ROUTE = OFF)
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(Key = EXTPROC0))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)

    )
  )

In file listener.ora is the following:
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =

        (PRESENTATION = TTC)
        (SESSION = NS)
      )

    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pavilion)(PORT = 1521))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
        (PRESENTATION = TTC)
        (SESSION = NS)
      )

    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = pavilion)(PORT = 2481))
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
        (PRESENTATION = GIOP)
        (SESSION = RAW)
      )

    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\Oracle\Ora81)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
  )
