Howdy:

I'm trying to install Oracle 9iAS rel. 1 (1.0.2.2) and
I'm at the Oracle 9iAS Portal Configuration Assistant.

The assistant wants to connect to the 'Origin Database'
(which is Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on RedHat Linux 7.2.x)
as SYS. The docs says to change the password, etc and
I have done that. The error that appears says:

1) check to see if database is running ( YES )
2) ensure password and connect info are valid ( YES )
3) database connect must be in HOSTNAME:PORT:SID ( looks correct )
4) TNS names are not allowed ( okay )

I am guessing it wants to make sure I can connect like:

local_host> sqlplus sys/****@orcl

Which I can *not* do.

I thought that if the account is locked, it would give
an error, but how can I connect sys/*** and not have to
log in as sysdba and supply a password? Or, do I have this
part all wrong? The port number I'm using is 1521 and not 1526
(which I thought was only for Solaris by default)?? At least
that's the port number I see in TNSNAMES.ORA.

Thanks!
