Hey folks, this is my first time to set up Oracle (formerly used a hodge-podge of MySQL and sometimes Access), the install went OK and everything BUT...

Every time I try to set up a new database I always get this error saying that the hrdef or something cannot be found, I have to click ignore like 20-30 times for the db to finish creation... then it doesn't work when i try to open it from the Console Manager... also I have tried to create a database manually, but nothing is seeming to work.. could someone please provide some assistance?

The operating system is Windows 2000 Pro., and I am just setting it up right now to run off of my own PC. Also, it seems like some of it is working, because whenever I type my computer's name in I.E., (http://josh/) then I am getting the Oracle Server page.

So, what's up? Thanks for anyone's help with this! It is really appreciated!

EDIT: just now realized this... is there any way to install Oracle and have it NOT install the HTTP server, etc., but only install things like the database? I will be later installing this on our server, and we already have a LOT of websites hosted, I think it will be bad news if oracle decides to take over! :Q

From what very little oracle 8i experience I have or have seen or think I understand... :confused:

I don't know if you can choose not to intall the http server, but you can at least disable the oracle http server service.

yeah.. tired of headaches for now, needed a quick DB solution

anyway I opted for what I know.. MySQL w/ phpMyAdmin :D Guess I don't have this problem anymore lol... although any info about that error could help, as I would be interested in picking this up again
