Hello, does anybody know why I get this message when I login to sqlplus with sys account?

SQL> conn sys/manager as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

The oracle service is running.

Thanks.

Below are the contents of listener.ora and sql.ora

# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = CCServer1)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\ora92)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

You also need a tnsnames.ora file:

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
OS2T =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = solarsystem)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = os2t)
)
)

This shows a service name of OS2T, a port of 1521, and a sid of os2t.

Hi

R u connecting to ur database from client?
If Yes, u have to specify the service name while connecting

SQL> connect sys/manager@service_name as sysdba

The service_name should be specified in tnsnames.ora of client as
service_name
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = google) (PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = mydb)
)
)
