default Listener name in Oracle:Listener

Default Port Number:1521

but when i start the listener with the default name it still gets started and associates itself with the instance which is currently running.

Note: This entry of the default listener is not at all present inside the listener.ora file.

1/ When you post something, please remove the lines in comment, they are just misleading.
2/ Are you sure you posted /oraeng/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/listener.ora

Is this not clearer without the comments and when post is formatted?

3/ Try LIST in upper case.

a single listener.ora can support multiple listeners so why does default listener not appear in posted listener.ora?

Hi - if I were you, I would re-create the listener.ora file, and make it much simpler. Delete it, and create a new one with one line:
LIST=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=192.168.0.1)(PORT=9999)))

and now try to start it.

I STEPPED IN AS 'YOU' AND DID THE SAME THING BY MAKING IT AS ONE LINE. IT BECAME A FLOP. TRY TO GIVE SOME RESOLVING ANSWERS INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME.

MICHEAL I THOUGHT YOU COULD SOLVE THIS ISSUE, BUT I WAS WRONG.

NOTE: IF SOMEONE COMES WITH A PROBLEM TRY TO RESOLVE THAT WITHOUT MOCKING AND PRICKING LIKE HOW JOHN HAS WRITTEN IF WERE U!! I BECAME LIKE HIM AND NOTHING HAPPENED!!

I will no more waste my time to try to help you but will remind you to read the OraFAQ Forum Guide and not post in UPPER case and not use IM/SMS speak but be polite and patient, we do not owe you anything; remember we spent time from our sunday morning for you.

You know you should not feedback ONLY when you don't get a complete answer to your question but you should also, or better only, feedback when you do get one and then thank people that helped you (review all your previous topics).

Regards
Michel

There was no mocking, just people that take some ease on week-end, nothing against you personally.
