Running windows-me.
installed free trial version oracle9i without problem,
but completely skipped configuration steps at end
of installation because they are 'supposedly' optional
and I have no idea what goes in many of the fields.
When startup SQL-plus, login popup prompts for
username, password, hoststring. I enter valid user/password
combinations SYSTEM/MANAGER or SCOTT/TIGER
without hoststring. Always get oracle error message 'TNS: protocol
adapter error'. If I startup SQL-plus from the command line
to bypass the login popup by
entering 'sqlplus.exe /NOLOG', SQL-plus starts up. However,
whenever I enter a SQL statement, I get the oracle error
'not connected'. What am I missing in the configuration step
which is keeping oracle from running most simple basic local operating
mode? OR is there a general windows-ME / ORacle incompatibility
problem?
thanks,
m.skinner
