Problem installing Oracle XE in Linux (Suse 9.2)

532005Sep 10 2006 — edited Sep 14 2006
hello

I just installed Oracle XE and did the configuration. the database starts and I can do a
telnet localhost 1521
and I get a connection.

but I can not connect via sqlplus or the database homepage with firexfox. SqlDeveloper does not work either.

with sqlplus as root I get this error:

./bin/sqlplus / AS SYSDBA
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sun Sep 10 23:03:32 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

as a non root user I get this:
ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified


when I run lsnrctl status I get this:

I am not oracle expert. I think the installation itselft was ok, but maybe the database
does not start correctly.

my configuration is like this:

cat /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe

#This is a configuration file for automatic starting of the Oracle
#Database and listener at system startup.It is generated By running
#'/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure'.Please use that method to modify this
#file

# ORACLE_DBENABLED:'true' means to load the Database at system boot.
ORACLE_DBENABLED=true

# LISTENER_PORT: Database listener
LISTENER_PORT=1521

# HTTP_PORT : HTTP port for Oracle Application Express
HTTP_PORT=8080

# Configuration : Check whether configure has been done or not
CONFIGURE_RUN=true


any idea what's wrong here ?
