I have installed oracle 9i (9.0.1) on a windows 2000 server computer.

during the installation i have set it to build a database automaticaly (universal database).

the installation is ok but when it create the database i get the following error :

ORA-01041 internal error hostdef does not exist.

i have gone the the oracle web site and they tell us to contact the oracle support services..... no solution.

when i go to the windows service screen, only the followin services are running. :

oracleOraHome90TNSListener
oracleOraHome90Agent

I Can't run any admin because everytime i get the same error.

I try to see some log file and in the following : sqlnet.log i get this error :

Fatal NI connect error 12631



this is really weird..... does someone can help me....

OK... I have found the problem so I will post the solution because nowhere on the internet I found it.


In your sqlnet.ora file , you must make the following changes



SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

to :

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)

and then you will be able to access your database or create one.



bye
