Re: ERROR ORA-12154 TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified

Thanks guys,

I've searched forums.oracle.com and all other places, but still no
luck. The ORA-12154 error message is very general. I am very
appreciated if you have any clues.

Stupid questions maybe, but anyway questions about this error are
always redundant as there is a plethora of resources, just *because*
people don't do anything to resolve it themselves:

Is the webserver located on the database server?
Did you run tnsping on the webserver or on the database server?
Do you have one or multiple tnsnames.ora floating around?
Did you set the TNS_ADMIN enviroment variable?
Please note similar questions have been asked to other people with the
same problem, so I have one final question:
Why didn't you bother to search the documentation or forums.oracle.com
or Usenet. Assum ing you are unioue? Or just lazy?
Just wondering...

What Sybrand's saying here is that you are not as unique as you think
you are.  _Somebody_ would have had the same problem as you somewhere
at some point.  Did you try searching the archives for ORA-12154?
