Network setup for Personal ORACLE

Dear all,

I am new to ORACLE. I have hit a problem and hope that you can kindly help.

I installed Personal ORACLE 8i, and set up as follows:

Global DB Name: oracle
SID: ORCL
Listener: Listener (Port 1521)
Net Service Name: oracle, (Host: localhost, Listener port: 1521)

When I test it, I see the database is started and I think it is working. However, just a few seconds later, it says 'ORA-12541: TNS: no listener'.

What's wrong with that? Please help me out, thanks. Received on Wed Jul 26 2000 - 00:00:00 CEST
