Problems in installing Oracle 10g database

Question

While installing Oracle 10g software, at the end i got the following error message.

And then when i run SQLPlus.exe I can not sign in using Scott/Tiger username/password. I get this error message

"ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"

Whats the issue?

Also, At the end of installation, i get this screen which says Database Control URL is .......... iSQLPlus url is ......

but when I copy/paste this url in the browser i get

Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname) 

Your requested host "imccit101.imcc.ae" could not be resolved by DNS.

For assistance, contact your network support team.

What are these url's for and how can I use them?

Answer 1

You can check whether you have the necessary services installed related to oracle. There should be service for the oracle instance and Tnslistner. If you have them try start them manually.
