Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Absolute beginner ORA-12543
Hello all,
I hope you can help me with this. I have installed oracle on mandrake
8.2 on my laptop for learning purposes. I switch my laptop between
office and home so have to change the IP address of the laptop
frequently. At home
it is 192.168.0.2. So, I have a proxy server set up at home. At office,
I configure mandrake to automatically get an IP address using DHCP and
reboot. I installed oracle when the IP address was 192.168.0.2. Under
this address everything works fine, even a perl script that connects to
the database and retrieves rows. When I start oracle at office, sqlplus
works fine. However, the perl script does not work.
I get the error, DBI->connect(oradb) failed: ORA-12543: TNS:destination
host unreachable(DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach) at line 4 in test.pl which
is the line that connects to the database. I really want to get this
problem sorted. Any help would be appreciated. An explanation of this
happens would be great.
cheers,
Johny Alphonse
