最近在布置一个应用程序连接oracle后台数据库，数据库为oracle11g（11.2.0.2）。应用程序属于root用户，所以需要以root用户通过系统认证的方式连接数据库。设置了root用户的环境变量并将root用户加入了dba组中。但是在root用户中启动sqlplus连接数据库一直报
ERROR:
----------------
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
起初以为是oracle_home目录的权限不够，给了最大的权限仍然报同样的错误。在root用户下通过网络服务名可以连接成功就是通过系统认证一直不成功，说明我的环境变量没有问题。通过一位朋友的帮助，查了oracle的maintant link。获取如下信息：
Symptoms
- Not able to make a local connection.
- Getting the following error when trying to connect to scott/tiger
ERROR:
----------------
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
Cause
1. This could be due to kernel parameters settings
2. Incorrect permissions on the ORACLE executable
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1.
This could be due to kernel parameters settings
Please check the notes below that provide the required settings for kernel parameters
Note 169706.1 Oracle Database on AIX,HP-UX,Linux,MacOSX,Solaris,Tru64
Note 201021.1 SOLARIS: Quick Start Guide - 9.2.0 RDBMS Installation
2.
This could be due to Incorrect permissions on the ORACLE.exe
The 'ls' command should show permissions 6751 (as follows)
Please check the following:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$ ls -l oracle
The output should be
-rwsr-s--x 1 oracle dba
If not then please execute the following
$ chmod 6751 oracle
Please also verify if the following are correct
echo $ORACLE_HOME
echo $ORACLE_SID
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $PATH
3.
If the above does not resolve I suggest that you shutdown the database and listener and then
"relink all"
Note 131321.1 How to Relink Oracle Database Software on UNIX
根据提示查看系统的配置，内核参数是按照官方的说明进行配置应该没有问题可以排除。到第二个的时候发现$ORACLE_HOME/bin目录下的oracle程序权限有问题，修改为文档提示的权限后测试连接成功。原来是该脚本的权限不够导致该错误报错。
