ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact error

edited Jan 3, 2013 6:23PM in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 13 commentsAnswered
I just installed Oracle Software on the server and ran the patch.

Now I am attempting creating my first database.

I am following this document:

http://kamranagayev.com/2009/05/31/create-database-manually-step-by-step-instruction/

I got to the point where I created PFILE and attempting to create SPFILE by running

CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE=’/home/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/init.ora’;

I assume the above statement should run in SQLPlus, so I attempted to login to SQLPlus as

sqlplus / as sysdba

After I ran the above, I got an error ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

I searched various forums and looks liek I need to configure a lsitener in order to conenct via sqlplus

Howdy, Stranger!
