Greetings to all.

I am having a problem getting my listner to start. I need help and it is a learning opportunity.

Please let me know what other information you need me to post. I am thinking that oracle is the victime of networking setup but I am not sure why. Thanks to all in advance.

much looks OK.
One details caught my attention.
>192.168.1.1 jhlinux.home.com jhlinux
Typically X.Y.1. is gateway/route off the subnet.

post results of command below
/sbin/ifconfig

>inet addr:192.168.1.207
when hardware has one IP# & /etc/hosts has a different IP# problems result
192.168.1.207   jhlinux.home.com        jhlinux
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost

above might work better after reboot complete

does system use DHCP to obtain IP#?

will SQL*Net work after changing /etc/hosts?

During installation I got the following error at the end. Could this be the reason I am failing to start the listener ?

I don't think so.
Everything reported depends upon the listener.
OS/Networking is mis-configured, but I can't seem to identify exactly what it is & DHCP complicates everything.
It appears you have root access to OS. Correct?
Just as a test, consider unplugging network cable & configure system with fixed/hardwired IP#.
First need to get SQL*Net working on a standalone system

Here is what I am seeing.

[oracle@jhlinux admin]$ /sbin/ifconfig

then I started the listener and got the following

[oracle@jhlinux admin]$ lsnrctl start

So I took this to mean that I need to startup the database. So once I started the database I quickly found out there is no listener.

Black Swan, I appreciate the effort you have put forth trying to help me. I do not know what is wrong here.
In the past I was able to install Oracle 10g on RHEL 4 and I did not get this problem.

My isp is Comcast and they have this modem they use to hook the phone line and internet. Since it does not
work as a router, I had to plug the internet outlet to a netgear router to make it accessible. Could it be
that my problem is router related ?

I doubt it.
I have my laptop configured to only use localhost, so I can't be hacked into regardless of where I take my laptop.
So SQL*Net "works" even when I don't have an actual network connection as shown below.

>I will wait and see if someone has additional ideas on what I can do.
I am out of ideas.
My gut says that the root cause is local to your system.
It is as though the DB & listener are on different systems.

Hi Smile

I have the exactly same problem.

Prompting lsnrctl status command, I get:

Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=VMCentOS)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
  TNS-00511: No listener
   Linux Error: 111: Connection refused



Is it possible that there not exist any solution to the problem?

I think that in my case the problem is due to a bad network configuration. I modified hosts file and network adapter ip address many times before and after installation.

BlackSwan only you can help us. You are the best here!

1/ What is the result of ping the hostname?
2/ What is the result of "lsnrctl start <your listener name>"
3/ What is the content of your listener.ora

Sorry I'm not BlackSwan but I think I can be helpful, if you don't think so, please, tell me and I'll leave this topic and no more try to help you.

Sorry Michel Cadot, I said that only BlackSwan can be helpful because only him has answered this post/topic. But I think that many of you are very expert.

P.S.: I'm not from remote machine... I'm on local machine.
