Problems with Oracle XE on win xp [message #552598]

Hi,

I have oracle XE installed on my machine and it was working absolutely fine for the last year or so. Today there was an trojan intrusion which caused some issues with my windows xp OS like hiding some files, desktop etc. After everything was cleaned up and things back to normal. I am having issues with XE.

1. I can start and stop XE with out any issues
2. When I use the run sql command line, I can connect using - connect sys/sys as sydba.
3. I can also run a query to see all the users and see the HR user also.

However,
1. When I connect to my hr user using connect hr/password@xe, it just hangs
2. I tried the- go to Oracle XE admin page but it just hangs for a long time and returns page cannot be found.
3. I can tnsping the xe instance.

Not sure what the issue is? I am not a DBA and don't have much knowledge on this. Is a fresh install the only option? or is there any way to correct this using the sys/sys user?

Please help!

Thanks,
Rahul

Make OS listener service is running before proceeding below.

open a Command Window & issue following OS commands

lsnrctl start

I'm not a DBA, but I have used various XE versions for years.

First of all, why didn't you use a decent anti-virus software? What security precautions did (or, did NOT) you take? Anyway, it is too late to cry over it now.

Here's what I would do: make sure that no viruses exist on that computer. If possible, I'd reformat it and reinstall the operating system, as well as the database. Then, I'd restore data from backup (I suppose you have one, haven't you?). Finally, apply anti-this and anti-that so that sh*t wouldn't happen that soon again.

But that's just me; perpahs you'd rather wait for someone smarter who knows EXACTLY what to do.

Little foot. I have Mcafee enterprise edition. And the machine is now clean. I am not crying over it Smile

Just looking at fixing the issue. I tried a fresh install after removing XE. but the same issue.

Yes, I have all data backed up. I just need to get this thing running.

If you didn't reformat the disk and reinstalled the operating system, although the machine is "clean" now doesn't mean that it works properly. Who knows what damage virus(es) caused?

Besides, sometimes removing Oracle software isn't trivial. Recent versions are better than previous ones and Oracle Universal Installer does most of the job. However, there might be certain registry entries that should be removed manually. Did you do that as well? Because, XE installation is a simple task and I have NEVER failed to do it properly, nor had any problems with accessing it.

I'm sorry for not being able to help much; as I said - reformat and start over is my choice. Most probably not the best one, but works for sure.
