Re: 8i - Designer - Developer Installation

Hi Gary(and other readers)

I forgot to mention before that This is being installed on Win Workstation 4.0. I took all the neccesay steps to set up designer and Orale 8i. I installed them in seperated directories. When accessing Repository Administration Utility I'm getting the following error: ORA-03121: no interface driver connected-function not performed

Any suggestions on what's going on and how I can fix it?

Also, here is a list of the TNSNAMES.ORA files: IF I rename the file in Windows Explorer, Do I have to rename it anywhere else?
E:\Orant\ file as TNSNAMES.ORA
E:\Ora81 file as TNSNAMES81.ORA

TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Orant\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE
TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Orant\NET80\ADMIN\TNSARI
TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Orant\NET80\ADMIN\SAMPLE
TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Orant\NET80\ADMIN
TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE
TNSNAMES.ORA     E:\Ora81\NETWORK\ADMIN

Thanks
Richard
