Lost power, tnslistener 12514 error

732110Nov 4 2009 — edited Nov 7 2009
All,

We recently lost power and a server that shouldn't have been in production anymore is apparently something that needs to be online. I'm not a DBA by any stretch, so this is a bit over my head. It's running oracle 10g services on top of a Windows 2003 standard server. The error I receive, even trying to connect to SQL Plus among other utilities is: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.

There's nothing obvious in the event viewer and listener.log has this at the tail end:
Started with pid=2884
Listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=sstudent)(PORT=1550)))
Listener completed notification to CRS on start
