Hi,

please find the error below when I try to run the listener manually,


$ which lsnrctl
/u07/oracle/proddb/10.2/bin/lsnrctl

$ lsnrctl start

Thanks for all except one,

The problem was solved, There was a problem in Oracle parameters.

So, are you saying that making those changes
to "/etc/services" was a good idea?

[rick jones]

/etc/services is not a reservation mechanism, it is there simply to provide a translation from port numbers to service names. In other words it is there as a convenience.

An inetd -c command will change nothing unless one has also changed /etc/inetd.conf.

The docs for Oracle should describe how to start-up their listener processes.

Certainly true, but the remarkably large
number of postings here (questions _and_
answers) showing a contrary belief suggests
that many folks don't seem to understand its
purpose. (This question is a good example.)

> An inetd -c command [...]

Also true.

> The docs for Oracle [...]

I'd expect so.

Not the biggest problem in evidence, I claim.
