connecting to the oracle db in the vm?

[Roy Pardee]

Hey All,

I'd like to play around w/my own data in the VM version of the i2b2 back-end bits, which means I need to be able to connect to the oracle instance on it.  I've installed the 10g client on my laptop & am running the VM on a separate server.  But I don't know how to point my client at it.  I tried just using the machine name at a sql*plus prompt like so:

SQL> connect demo@mpe0nr
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

I've also tried selecting the "go to database home page" from the Applications -> Oracle Express system menu--I get a "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080".  So I guess some crucial component isn't started, or is listening on some other port?

Any advice would be great here.

Thanks!

Hi Roy,

 

You should post this question on the AUG since they support the VMWare version.

Ah, thanks!  I'm getting good response on the AUG group.

Thanks!

FWIW--I've been in contact with Prakash TL, but we haven't been able to figure out the problem.  I'm considering moving to the release candidate VM to see if that's any better.

My understanding is that there is a bug in the RC... I'd wait for the fix at this point. I know of nobody who has gotten it running though there may be people on the AUG who have done so.
