Hi,
I installed 10g but when I get the following on Enterprise Manager:

Code:
The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state. Click 'Startup' to obtain the current status and open the database. If the database cannot be opened, click 'Perform Recovery' to perform an appropriate recovery operation.
I click on start-up and gets the following error:
Code:
SQLException  
Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12500, TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)..........................................
..........

Can someone please help me how to fix this error.

Thanks


 
It seems like the database is not started. To make sure, shutdown the database from SQL*PLUS with this command "shutdown immediate" and "startup" to restar the database.

Also, make sure the listener is started by typing this command from shell prompt (unix) or command prompt (Windows): "lsnrctl status". If it's not started type "lsnrctl start" command.
 
I followed the above sequence of shutting down and starting the database the results:
Code:
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

starting the listner gives me the following result:

But when I go to Entrprise EM Console
I get the same error:
Code:
SQLException  
Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.2.100)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=orcl)))

I have Oracle DB9i, and Oracle AS9i installed on the same machine too and looks like PORT=1521 is being used by DB 9i too. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
 
listener does not currently know of service requested"

Is your database instance in the listener.ora file?
