I installed oracle 11g successfully and was able to login with SQL plus.
When I tried making a connection with the username and password via SQL developer I'm getting the ora-12505 error (picture is attached)

Printout of tnsname.ora:

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\Oracle11g\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

ORACLE11G =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = oracle11g)
    )
  )

ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = CLRExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
    )
  )


When I execute the tnspint orcl; I get:

C:\Windows\system32>tnsping ORCL;

TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name

Could anyone assist in solving this problem and getting sql developer connected with my oracle database?

ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
 *Cause:  The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
 database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
 specified a SID for an instance (usually a database instance) that either
 has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been
 statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition
 such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance
 has registered with the listener.
 *Action:
  - Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
  - Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing:
    lsnrctl services <listener name>
  - Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies
    an instance known by the listener.
  - Check for an event in the listener.log file.

TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name
 *Cause:  The service name you provided could not be found in TNSNAMES.ORA,
          an Oracle Names server, or a native naming service.
 *Action: Verify that you entered the service name correctly.  You may need
          to ensure that the name was entered correctly into the network
          configuration.

I suspect OS/networking misconfiguration.
I doubt hostname is really localhost.
Realize localhost always has IP# of 127.0.0.1
I suspect that you PC got a real & routeable IP# via DHCP.

>I installed oracle 11g successfully and was able to login with SQL plus.

was the sqlplus login done with
or without SQL*Net?

sqlplus scott/tiger
or
sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl

Wait a moment and try to connect a second time - still giving the same problem even though I restarted my laptop

Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>:

Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance known by the listener - don't know how to do this

Check for an event in the listener.log file - where can I find these?


Verify that you entered the service name correctly. You may need to ensure that the name was entered correctly into the network configuration - I'm simply installing oracle 11g on my laptop, i.e. localhost. I didn't enter no configurations apart from what was done during the installation.


was the sqlplus login done with or without SQL*Net - see the picture below

tnsping only confirms the listener & confirms NOTHING about any database

I'm trying to log into the system account with sql developer. The last time I worked with oracle was with oracle9i and would access the system account from the sql worksheet. I just installed oracle and didnt created any Database. I'm just trying to log in with the system or the sys account via sql developer

basic problem is that the listener does not know about any database.
listener does not require any listener.ora file.

lsnrctl stop
#move rename, remove or eliminate listener.ora file
lsnrctl start
#pause 60+ seconds
lsnrctl services
