Newbie: Oracle Express 10g Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1

[mcauliff]

I installed the Oracle Express 10g. When I click to "Go To Database Home Page", I get an error. Using Windowx XP w/ SP3 and IE 8. Error is standard IE8 error, "Diagnose Connections Problems"

I'm able to ping 127.0.0.1.

What steps should I do to resolve this issue?

Hi,
What port#s are you using for the database site?

Have you reviewed the install docs for the server:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#CIHHJEHF

and the client:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFEDEI

and started the instance with these steps:

Your description of your problem is a little sketchy, but the fact that you are using a web browser suggests that you are trying to use database control to manage your database. It's possible that database control hasn't been started. Please execute the command "emctl status dbconsole" after setting your database sid, as described in the following link. If you find that it hasn't been started, you can start it with the command "emctl start dbconsole".

It appears that the OracleXETNSListener is unable to start. When I did netstat, did not see port 8080.



C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN>net start OracleXETNSListener
The OracleXETNSListener service is starting.
The OracleXETNSListener service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.
