Re: Additional problems

Hi,
Is this a windows install ??
I didn't had any trouble like yours...

The tnsnames and listener from 9i is not a problem. It still the same.

If you want to install the java console (like in 9i) it's available on the companion CD (or client CD - i don't remember now).

To get things working you need :

• the database started up -> check by connecting in sqlplus with sys/<password> as sysdba. Select status from v$isntance - if it's open then ok
• the listener (optional) -> from the shell try: lnsrctl status
• the dbconsole (to use EM database control - web based)
  • from the shell: emctl status dbconsole or simply http://host:7777/em

to connect to dbconsole use system or sys account (don't forget to use as sysdba if connecting with sys)

bye
pedro
