[Spacewalk-list] Getting an error when starting osad

[Frey, Evan]

Just did a fresh install of 6 and when osa starts I get the following error:
 
2009/08/12 14:26:14 -04:00 23663 0.0.0.0:
rhnSQL/driver_cx_Oracle.connect('Connecting to database', 'xe')
2009/08/12 14:26:14 -04:00 23663 0.0.0.0:
rhnSQL/driver_cx_Oracle.connect('ERROR', 'Connection attempt failed', 12505,
'ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect
descriptor\n')
 
tnsnames.ora is as follows:
 
xe =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = xe)
    )
  )
 
I can login as follows



rlwrap sqlplus -USERNAME-/-PASSWORD- at xe
