I have an ASP.NET application published on a windows server that used to connect to an Oracle 11g database in a unix server.
Sudenly my application is not connecting anymore and presents the message ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
When I try to connect to database in the same server using sqlplus with the same user, password the sql plus connects ok.
What is the problem?

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
*Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by
specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified
are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

Michel
