Hi,

I have just installed an Oracle 9.0.1 database and now the application server. When I run the Oracle 9i Portal 3.0 Configuration Assistant it prompts for the sys password and a database connection. I entered:

<mypassword>
myhost:1521:mysid1

I can confirm the above information because I CAN do the following: sqlplus app/pass_at_mysid1
>connect sys/<mypassword> as sysdba;

Despite this I get the message:

could not connect

1) Make sure db is running 
2) Ensure pass/connect is valid 
3) specify hostname:port:sid 
4) TNS names alias is not allowed

I have removed mysid1 from the TNS alias just to validate 4) but it makes no difference.

If anyone can offer help then that would be awesome.

thanks
