AWS ORACLE Linux 7.4 - Connection issue

Question

I tried to install oracle 12c in Oracle Linux 7.4 instance upon AWS ORACLE Linux 64 EC2 instance, I could make the installation and connect to the database from the ec2 server without any issue however when I try connecting to the database from my desktop I get generic TNS Protocol adapter error.

Please find more information about my instance: 1. I have set following rule for my EC2 instance instance rule

Please note, I am not sure why i am getting every roles twice also I am not sure why type is 'Oracle -RDS', i always check the type as 'Custom TCP'

2. hostname value from my unix

ip-xx-x-x-xxx.ap-south-1.compute.internal

3. tnsnames.ora

ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ip-xx-x-x-xxx.ap-south-1.compute.internal)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.ap-south-1.compute.internal) ) )

4. listener.ora

LISTENER = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ip-xx-x-x-xxx.ap-south-1.compute.internal)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521)) ) )

3. lsnrctl status

5. Value from v$instance table

SQL> select host_name, instance_name from v$instance;

HOST_NAME ---------------------------------------------------------------- INSTANCE_NAME ---------------- ip-xx-x-x-xxx.ap-south-1.compute.internal orcl

I am not sure why I cannot connect from outside of ec2 instance; Please help me out of this issue

• mustaccio: May be it's because ip-xx-x-x-xxx.ap-south-1.compute.internal is on the AWS internal network?
• pravinsham: could be ,but I am not sure ho convert this ip to public one, I have also tried using the public IP and Public DNS provided by AWS, it is not working . ideally the ip should be like ip-xx-x-x-xxxx , the .ap-south-1.compute.internal should not be there; I am not sure how get my ip as such in AWS

Answer 1

Did you check firewall enabled or not on your Linux machine? If it is enabled then you should need to add your port 1521 for accepting requests just like the following command.

sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1521 -j ACCEPT

• pravinsham: it worked !.. thank you very much for your time and accurately pointing the solution.
