ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified

538299Jun 24 2008 — edited Dec 21 2009
hello,

I installed oracle 10g but the oracle user is an ldap user and its home directory is on a nfs server.

The installation went ok. the inventory was created locally.

the profile exists on the nfs server.

When I do sqlplus "/as sysdba", I get

*************************
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
*************************


the tnsping returns a reponse and the ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are all set in the profile and they are correctly set (when doing echo).

What am I missing?

Usually all the installations went ok but I was using a local user. This time I am using a remote user.


thx.
