The IE "Invalid syntax" message almost always means the browser saw a malformed address string rather than a web-server problem. used a Windows-style path and the replies from and pointed in the right directions: rule out name-resolution issues and try the machine address with an explicit port if the server is not on the default HTTP port.

Checklist to narrow the fault quickly:

  • Use the standard URL form: protocol, host, optional port, then the path (forward slashes, not backslashes).

  • Confirm the Oracle web component that serves the iSQL*Plus page is running. On most Oracle installs also verify the TNS listener.

  • From the server, confirm a listener on the expected port:

    netstat -an | findstr :<port>

    or on Linux:

    ss -ltnp | grep <port>
  • Test raw connectivity from the client machine:

    telnet <host> <port>

    or

    curl -v http://<host>:<port>/<path>
  • Check host name resolution (hosts file or DNS) and any firewall/AV rules that may block the port. Check the Oracle listener status with lsnrctl status and any Oracle HTTP/XDB services listed in the OS service manager.

Finally, inspect IE’s developer tools (network tab) or the server logs for the exact request and response. Those details show whether the browser rejected the address string up front or whether the server returned an HTTP error.

try using localhost instead of system name.

http\\ip address of the pc:port_number(e.g, 8080)\isqlplus
