Can't connect to Oracle Express Edition


I have a problem with Oracle Express Edition. I can open and run commands in the Data Base by using sqlplus, but then I try to connect to Data Base by using sql developer it doesn't work. It's strange because I have many other remote Oracle databases and I can connect to them by using sql developer or other tools like IDEA. May be something wrong with listener?

When I try to connect I get timed out on connection to port 1521.

Connection to @myhost.company.com failed.

The last just hags and nothing happens.


Solution

  • In this configuration, listener.ora and tnsnames.ora. You can make a connection only on the local database, you can not make a remote connection to the database, because The listener listens only to IP localhost. You must add an external IP to the listener configuration. listener.ora

        LISTENER =
          (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
            (DESCRIPTION =
              (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
              (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)(IP=V4_ONLY))
              (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <IP DB server>)(PORT = 1521)(IP=V4_ONLY))
    
          )
    )
    

    Add an exception for port 1521 and port range (32768-65536) for the firewall on the database server, this is necessary for the SQL * NET protocol. On the client machine, you need to fix tnsnames.ora, It is necessary to replace localhost with the IP address of the database server.

    XE =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <IP DB server>)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVER = DEDICATED)
          (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
        )
      )
