System error 3 OracleDBConsoleorcl service could not be started.
4joey1May 17 2010 — edited May 18 2010Hallo!I installed Oracle 10g on my Windows XP while connected to my modem that accesses the internet via DHCP.
I installed the Microsoft Loopback Adapter to force my OEM and isqlplus to use the static IP 10.0.0.1.
When I try to launch my OEM via http://joey-xp:1158/em (hostname joey-xp resolves to 10.0.0.1),I am unable to launch OEM.
From the cmd prompt,I type emctl start dbconsole.
C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY>emctl start dbconsole
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.1.0

http://127.0.0.1:1158/em/console/aboutApplication
Starting Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control ...The OracleDBConsoleorcl service is starting.
The OracleDBConsoleorcl service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 3 has occurred.
The system cannot find the path specified.
I don’t understand why the default loopback (127.0.0.1) is being used.
How do I solve this?
Thanks.
