Apart from the comments made by others about the environment, here's the error message meaning:

oracle> oerr ora 12514
12514, 00000, "TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect des"

// *Cause:  The SERVICE_NAME in the CONNECT_DATA was not found in the listener'.
// *Action: Check to make sure that the SERVICE_NAME specified is correct.
// *Comment: This error will be returned if the database instance has not
// registered with the listener; the instance may need to be started.

In other words, make sure the listener is listening for the SID you've given.
