I am a new one who started using Oracle Database and encountered a problem while installing the latest Oracle XE 11gx64 on Microsoft Windows 7 x64 Enterprise.
There were no errors during the installation, and Windows services ( OracleXETNSListenerand OracleServiceXE) were successfully created and started .

However, when I try to get a list of available databases, I get an error
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

For some reason, the XE base was not created in %ORACLE_BASE%\oradata\XE.

The contents of my listener.ora with localhost:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
I installed tnsnames.ora by setting the localhost IP:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
sqlnet.ora contains both services:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE;NTS)
The log file from "% ORACLE_HOME% \ server \ log \ myhost \ client" contains this error:
