Problem when using SQLPlus in Oracle 9i

[Alex]

Hi Everybody,

I am new to Oracle.
I just installed the Oracle9i (personal edition) on my Window XP
system. I am trying to simply run some basic SQL commands using
SQLPlus. After entering userid (system) password(manage r) and Host
String (my global database name), I am getting the following error and
it does not logme in:
can not run the service.

Would you please help me? Is default user name and password are
correct?

Sincerely,
AlexSM

Sound like the Instance your trying to connect isn't started...
Check for Services into the "Computer management consol" if you can see it.
Otherwise you can startt it manually with the following command

z:\your_oracle_ home\ORACLE.EXE <global database name>

login to SQL PLUS:

A 12560 error would indicate that Oranet (sqlnet, net8) either is not
installed or not configured correctly. First if you have not already
done so re-boot the machine. Then if the problem still exists open
the Oracle Net Configuration Assistent and look at the settings. The
ID used to install Oracle on your PC should have almost full
administration privileges.
