Cannot create a database in Oracle 11 g. TNS Protocol card error. . Missing ORA files.

I want to start by saying: I went through several forum threads about errors in Protocol TNS, .ora files, installation guides and you name it. I am new to Oracle 11 g, and I bought the book for a course of database, I don't take in college; However, I'm not a newbie to technology and I have SQL experience. My Oracle experience has been a disaster so far, and I am a tester of application by trade! I spent an entire week, just try to get the software installed correctly before finally creating this discussion on your forums. So I'm sorry to disrupt your forums. I know that you have 1,000 other subjects with a similar scope, but I have received no help from Oracle and none of the proposed solutions have previously solved my problem. Let's get to it.

My system: 6 core AMD, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 16 GB RAM, multiple disk drives, if you need anything else to say.

I am trying to install software: Oracle 11 g SQL Database Standard Edition (it came with my book SQL Oracle 11 g and I need company for the moment)

Environment: Windows 2008 Server Virtual Datacenter

Client VM: VMWare

Problem in short: when I try to install the software and create a database, everything is successful, until the database Configuration Wizard attempts to finalize the process. All the prereq check Oracle directories are created and etc. To the database Configuration Wizard, I always get the following error message:

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

If I try to launch sqlplus and enter my credentials of the default Oracle, I get the same error (I am basically unable to get to the SQL > screen). I noticed that I only have a sqlnet.ora file in my folder "OraHome_1/NETWORK/ADMIN", and I have not all listeners or tnsnames file in this directory. The sqlnet.ora file reads as follows:

sqlnet.ora # Network Configuration file: C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers can opt for
# install 'Software Only', this file does not exist and without the native
authentication #, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.

SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

NAMES. DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

I look at my running services and find that I 3 running Oracle services (at this point, I tried to uninstall/reinstall several times, none seems to be a COMPLETE uninstall, while some of these services were not there before...):

Oracle ORCL VSS Writer Service (started)

(Disabled) OracleJobSchedulerORCL # I will revive it with no other success

OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener (on the way)

I tried to launch another listener using the following cmd command, but I still received the TNS error trying to create a database or connect to sqlplus.

lsnrctl start LISTENER

I admit, I am quite sleepy at this point, and I'm not figure this tonight. I'm not having my hand held through the process, but I could really use some help here. I understand that my VM disk drive is probably fragmented at this point and I'll probably need to start over from a clean installation of OUR. I also understand that I keep missing a crucial procedure during initial installation because it is quite obvious that this will not work without the listener or tnsname files. I tried to interpret the samlples, but an example of the syntax would be really useful. Also, what users to manually configure these standard files? It seems that a lot of my trouble could have been avoided if the installation had been easier. On the contrary, the flame of the fact that I'm more efficient with Microsoft, that the fact that I am new to Oracle. I could just go to mysql, but I want to give a chance to Oracle. I just need a nudge in the right direction to get database database server installed.

I really appreciate any idea that anyone can provide. I know that you have had other similar subjects historically, but none that I found helped me to this day. I'm a major network, so I understand that TNS is an Oracle proprietary protocol. I also understand that the listener is required to actively receive information about this port; I even took down my firewall temporarily to make sure it wasn't a problem. I even understand that connection strings are needed to associate the database Oracle, Oracle with my Microsoft OS and etc. What I don't understand, why this was so complicated. Help, please. I'm just tired of banging my head into the wall on this one.

Your friend.

I don't really understand Windows, but I think that you must be connected to the machine as a local administrator and a member of a group ora_dba local, nothing to do with the areas he makes. It is a working example of an account that works:

DBCA cannot create the database in 12 c in Windows

Hello
After the installation of Oracle 12 c on R2 Windows Server 2012 and successfully running the netca command to configure the listener, I run with the DBCA tool question
It throws an error message of "Recovery Manager could not restore the data files"
I looked at the log files, here is some information:
Corrupt block 1 found during the backup piece, reading file=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\12.1\DBHOME_1\ASSISTANTS\DBCA\TEMPLATES\SEED_DATABASE. DFB, corr_type = 4
Review of blocknum = 1, file=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\12.1\DBHOME_1\ASSISTANTS\DBCA\TEMPLATES\SEED_DATABASE. DFB, found the same corrupted data
Not sure if this helps, but I am attaching several log files to help debug the problem.
I read the post DBCA cannot create the database in 12 c, but it doesn't quite have an answer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Pranav

Looks like a bad installation or a bad block on your disk. Have you tried creative using the "Custom Database" model in the wizard dbca (one that does not come with the data files)? It will take more time to create, but shouldn't read the dbca reported as corrupted file

ColdFusion 10 - cannot create the database

I think that this error has to do with permissions, but I'm not sure. I'm not under personal service accounts to run IIS 7.5 or Coldfusion. There is some dirt on my server and Setup:

Edition	Developer
Operating system	Windows Server 2008 R2
OS version	6.1
Update level	/C:/ColdFusion10/cfusion/lib/updates/chf10000002.jar

Java version

1.6.0_29

History of this server:

A installed version 9.0.1. Installled CF 10 Beta and then uninstalled beta 9 and 10 to install 10 final. Ran into a problem with IIS 7.5 refusing to release some settings somewhere deep beyond web.config files so it was a dev server I simply uninstalled IIS 7.5 role and also uninstalled WAS, wonderful Windows Process Activation Service, test function (if it is really what it is... more as a burden IMO) and delete the files C:\ColdfusionX and C:\inetpub to purge settings and garbage. I then rebooted and again installed IIS and WAS. The previous problem had nothing to do with the substance of data base, it was the IIS for CF 10 connector not properly be created and applied by IIS, resulting in .cfm files offered for download.

After all the changes, I was able to connect to the CF admin date to which I applied the update of 10 CF 2. Web server here on out stuff is practically install stock.

I created the directory C:/ColdFusion10/cfusion/db/andHalt/and then to data sources to create the embedded Apache Derby database.

Error just after the attempt to create the data source:

Connection verification failed for data source: andHalt

org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedSQLException: cannot create the database "C: / ColdFusion10/cfusion/db/andHalt /', see the following exception for more details."

The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: unable to create the database "C: / ColdFusion10/cfusion/db/andHalt /', see the following exception for more details."

Logs show a very little bit of detail that does not help me to find a crowd of CF related Google goodies so I come here to read more in the knowledge depth and because Murphy's law still nips at my heels I'm always towing in good errors for the people gawk and awk to
