Oracle 11g Enterprise Manager Login Fail Internal Error has Occured

Question

I have installed Oracle 11g on my Windows 10 machine. I followed all preinstallation requirements.

When trying to log in to the Enterprise manager via this link:

https://localhost:1158/em

I get the error:

Internal Error has occurred. Check the log file for details.

I have found log files and it looks like this is the relevant entry:

2017-09-17 07:36:53,631 [MetricCollector:HOMETAB_THREAD600:60] ERROR rt.DbMetricCollectorTarget _getAllData.344 - java.lang.NullPointerException

I have tried to set the unique name in environment variables, I thought maybe Java was the problem so I updated my JDK to 8. I am still getting the same error, and my SQL Plus will not open, as soon as I put in the correct credentials it closes. Also I have configured a Listener and tested, test was successful.

Please help.

I managed to fix the issue, turns out it was a time zone issue. The DB time zone and computer time zone were different. Thus the DB Console would not start and was giving the error "EM daemon is not running". I fixed it by following instructions here.

Also note before I did that I completely uninstalled Oracle and reinstalled it. There were some issues on that install that were causing SQL not to run. But the above is what fixed the Internal Error I was getting as I got it again even after the fresh install.
