Re: [cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle installation problem / python

[Humberto F. da L. J. <hum...@gm...>]

I think I'll need your help once more.
I installed oracle_client and cx_oracle.

When I type "import cx_Oracle" in python shell everything works ok. But
when I try to connect to the database I get the following error:

>>> conn = cx_Oracle.connect('oracle://user/password@ip:port/dese')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    conn = cx_Oracle.connect('oracle://user/password@ip:port/dese')
*DatabaseError: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service
requested in connect descriptor*

By what I understood I'd need to create a tnsnames.ora file in
ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/ (oracle client path). But after doing this I
keep getting the same error.

Does somebody know where or how I should configure the connection?
