You most likely need to set the ORACLE_SID environment variable. This error usually means you are trying to connect to a database that doesn't exist. Also check that ORACLE_HOME is set correctly. If that doesn't fix it, check if the database service is started. If it is, check the alert log for error messages.

  • Did you start the database using Step 5.1 in the above document? Did you get any error messages when you did that, or during the installation? Commented Mar 25, 2014 at 9:58
  • Yes, the DB is started but when I put "connect System" & the password in the sqlplus cmd line I get this error message i.sstatic.net/rsehS.jpg and even when I use this andress 127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 I can't connect Commented Mar 25, 2014 at 15:49
