I am having some (possibly rookie) issues with connecting to my database after installing Oracle 11g.
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Oracle: 11.2.0
ORACLE_HOME = C:\Oracle\Chris\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
ORACLE_SID = hr_orcl
If I run "C:\> sqlplus" from cmd, I get:
"Enter username: Chris
Enter password: *****
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error"
There is a listener problem, when I run lsnrctl status I get a "TNS-12541: No Listener error", "TNS-12560: No protocol adapter error", "TNS-00511: No listener" and "32-bit Windows Error: 61: Unknown error"
I have checked services.msc, and there is a service named "OracleOraDb11g_home2TNSListener" which, when I start it, says "The service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."
I have been trawling the web to find a solution, I have installed a new Microsoft Loopback Adapter (hence the address 10.10.10.10), I have checked and changed ORACLE_HOME a dozen times, I've probably changed a few configurations I wasn't supposed to, but I'm stumped.
This issue came about after I re-installed 11g. It was working correctly before, but for other reasons I had to uninstall/reinstall. I've posted the contents of listener, tnsname and sqlnet, I would post some trace reports if I knew what files would help. If anyone knows why this issue occurs, and what can be done about it, I will be extremely grateful for your help.
Thanks
