Oracle 11g on Windows server 2003

688050Mar 2 2009 — edited Mar 9 2009
I've oracle 11g installed on Windows Server 2003.
I have installed oracle 11g twice, so wasn't sure how to uninstall one version without effecting the other.
There are a few databases set up, none of which are now working.

Trying to connect using mysql client, or the oracle11g client results in TNSListener errors:
'TNSListener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor'

The command completed successfully

Trying to modify the database (using Database Configuration Assistant) results in the error:
'there is an error in creating the following process: c:\apps\oracle\product\11.1.0\db\bin\sqlplus.exe -S /NOLOG the error is: Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus Messaging file sp1<lang>.msb not found SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your oracle software directory'

If there are forums you would recommend to a completely new oracle sysadmin please let me know.

Many thanks.
