Oracle Enterprise Manager is not running: Unable To Connect.

Prashant Dixit Dec 19, 2011 2:57 PM

Getting an error message while trying to launch "*Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM)*"
https://localhost:3938/em

Error says:
Unable To Connect
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:3938."

Machine Description:
# Oracle Linux 5
# Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition

Thanks

The first thing to check would be whether the console is running

export ORCL_UNQNAME=<name of your database>
emctl status

Evidently this check is documented and you shouldn't need to ask about it.

Port 3938 looks very strange, that seems to be the agent port, not EM port, try 1158 - the default port.

emctl status dbconsole
emctl status agent

Additionally it's not a good idea to work with 'localhost'. 'localhost' always means what its name implies, the host to which you are connected locally. So you cannot invoke EM from a remote host.

Hi,

In addition to points mentioned by oradba, do you see any em login to oracle instance login DBSNMP Program emagent@yourlinuxhost and SYSMAN Program OMS

Also check the log directory +${ORACLE_HOME}/${HOSTNAME}_${ORACLE_SID)/sysman/log+ foir latest entries

You can also do +ps -ef|grep agent+ to see if the agent emagent is running

HTH,

Mich

Thanks for a reply on the post --

See below this is what I'm getting while running emctl command ---

Hi OraDBA,

I tried with default port: 1158
https://localhost:1158/em

still i'm getting same old error message.
"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:1158."

recieved java.net.InetAddress exception after running command: emctl status agent and emctl status dbconsole

[oracle@dhcppc2 ~]$ emctl status agent

Mich Talebzadeh Dec 19, 2011 2:10 PM (in response to Prashant Dixit)

Have you recently changed the hostname or IP address?

What does /etc/hosts saying? i.e. cat /etc/hosts

Also as per my example you should have a directory ${ORACLE_HOME}/$HOSTNAME_${ORACLE_SID}/sysman/log. If you have changed hostname you need to rename/create such directory!

Do you have another instance of Oracle running on this host?

HTH,

Mich

HI Mich,

No, i've not changed any ipadress or hostnames. lately

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Result: cat /etc/hosts

[oracle@dhcppc2 etc]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yes i have the directory: ${ORACLE_HOME}/$HOSTNAME_${ORACLE_SID}/sysman/log created on the machine.

No,, only single instance - orcl is running
[oracle@dhcppc2 etc]$ echo $ORACLE_SID
orcl

Actually i'm able to use dbconsle/Ent Man (OEM) in all unix machines that i have. I recently downloaded this pre-configured linux machine for data modelling and for sql programming (SQL Developer) and i got this .ova file (VIRTUALBOX) from :
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/databaseappdev-vm-161299.htm

Everything seems to be fine but still after several tries the issue endures and it fails to launch and pick up hosts defined:
Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (orcl) = 1158
Enterprise Manager Agent Port (orcl) = 3938

Thanks

I am not sure but check this as well

OC4J Configuration issue.

You may have to install em again no big deal

Mich,

URL: https://dhcppc2.local:1158/em

I'm sad that I've tried all steps mentioned in the link:
OC4J Configuration issue. but still the eccentric endures.

- renamed \oracle\yourdatabaselocation\db\oc4j\j2ee\oc4j_DBConsole_localhost_sidname file/folder name to asked.
- restarted machine every time a change applied.
- still I'm not able to run emctl status dbconsole as it throws an exception

at some point in the past Oracle recorded the fact that the hostname name was "null".
It appears that ORACLE_SID=orcl

You need to remove the EM repository & start over.
