Netca: "a listener with the name already exists" after bombing out

Installing a listener via netca on a CentOS 5 x64 11g RAC setup.
I had a typo in the $ORACLE_HOME shell variable in .bash_profile for the oracle user. This caused netca to bomb out with a series of 'file not found' and 'directory not found' errors. netca did not complete.
netca did, however, create listener LISTENER on port 1521 on both my nodes. There is no listener.ora file anywhere, due to the bad $ORACLE_HOME directory.
I'd like to delete this and start over so that netca completes normally.
I cannot use netca to delete listener LISTENER. The delete option is greyed out. I did reboot, and tried killing the tsnlsnr process.
crs_stat -p shows the following:

My question...how do I delete this listener (and the one on rac2) so that I can re-install them correctly using netca?
Edited by: user611309 on Apr 21, 2009 12:12 PM

Hi,
the listener is still registered with Oracle Clusterware. This registration will stay regardless of the existence of listener.ora and related files. Thus, you need to get rid of the registration, if you want to do it from scratch (which may not be required, if the listener starts and stops correctly). However, from your Clusterware home, please, issue:
srvctl remove listener -h
Usage: srvctl remove listener -n <node_name> [-l <listener_name>]
-n <node> Node name
-l Display listener configuration
-h Print usage
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus

SharePoint 2007 Content deployment Error: 'A folder with the name already exists.

Hi, In SharePoint 2007 one Content deployment job is failed with below error:
Content deployment job 'Remote import job for job with sourceID = some id' failed.The exception thrown was 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException' : 'A folder with the name PublishingImages/AEI-2014/Blue already exists.'
From last 3 days I am getting this error and previously this Job was running without any Error.
In Import Log file getting message: "FatalError: A folder with the name PublishingImages/sg-2015/yellow already exists."
Please tell me how to resolve the issue.

Hello,
It seems same folder exist in destination server that's why job is failing. You need to check destination server and remove the same name/GUID from site then try again.
See this technet for more info: (see "Conflicting content on source and destination" section)

Spotlight/Finder can't find a file, yet when I search the timecapsule for they find it. If I try to restore the file I get "file with that name already exists...." What is wrong?

I was trying to find a file (iTunes Backup). When using finder/Spotlight they couldn't find the file.
I then opened up my timecapsule and searched for the file....tick-a-de-da it found it in yesterdays backup. I attempted to restore the file and got the prompt "A file with that name already exists in this location, would you like to keep both, replace the file or cancel the request.
So if the file is there why can't spotlight/finder find the file??
If it helps I get this from the terminal when checking if indexing was enabled.

Hi Danielle,
Is there any possibilty that some of your files (a VI or DLL?) have been moved, renamed, or deleted? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you using and are you using any .NET DLLs? Another option to consider would involve VISA or DAQmx property nodes. Are you using any of these property nodes in your code? Here is a KnowledgeBase article to describe more about the VISA and DAQmx property nodes in a source distribution:

Problem with copying to external drives 10.8.3 "the operation can't be completed because an item with the name .ds_store exists"

After upgrading from 10.7.5 to 10.8.3 I cannot copy certain folders to any external drive. the operation can't be completed because an item with the name .ds_store exists. I have seen this problem in discussions for many years with no real solution. Does anyone have a resolution? Please help. This is very frustrating as I work in two locations and copy folders back in forth all the time.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

File name replaced with Tilde (~), name already exists error

When exporting jpg files in Lightroom 4 I've recently had an issue with some of the files containing a tilde (~), the 43rd file in the series often gets it as well as a few others. So in the series one might be named 43-MA~1.jpg instead of the 43-Maegan-details.jpg that I originally named the file.
When I've tried to rename these files from the finder I get the error "name already exists". If I rename it to something totally different it works but if I then try to rename it the original filename I wanted it gives me the error again or reverts to the name with the ~.
I'm running 10.6.8, and the problem has been happening the past few weeks but I've never had the problem before. I can't figure out what is causing the problem and it's not every export but it's a huge hassle to try and rename the files.

This is the one error message that I have gotten in years with Encore. In my case, I had created a Project to be used as a "template," and had done the layout, Imported the common Assets, and then used this as the basis for a 17 DVD set, just Importing the unique Assets to each. Everything went perfectly, until disc 15. Maybe I was sloppy, as I had just completed 14 such Projects that day, but when I went to Build, I got that error. I tried un-Linking and re-Linking Assets, and checked all Menus. Nothing - just that error. Flushed Media Cache, and only the error. I posted here, with the details and asking for ideas.
In the meantime, I just grabbed my "template" Project and Imported those same, unique Assets. Used my altered Menus from bad Project and did my linking, exactly (or so I thought) as I had just done. This time, the Build was successful and # 15 thru 17 went without a hitch.
I had Saved that bad Project, and several folk offered suggestions. I tried them all, but never could get it to Build. I always got that error. I finally gave up testing and chalked it up to OE on my part, but I never figured out what I had done wrong, as I really thought that it was by the numbers.
Based on my experience, I would just start a new Project, being careful in the workflow. That was the only thing that worked for me.
Good luck,
Hunt

Program related ENHANCEMENT-POINT/SECTION with the name LMEPOF8D_02 exists

Hello
In an upgrade, after finishing with the SPAU task we got the following error in the standard object LMEPOF8D:
A program related ENHANCEMENT-POINT/SECTION with the name "LMEPOF8D_02" already exists.
Anyone knows which cause could be generate this kind of error?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best Regards,
Leonardo

Hello Sandra,
We have finished with SPAU. Regarding LMEPOF8D include, we kept with the ECC6 standard code. Therefore, from a point of view of code, it should be ok. However, we have this sintax error.
As you said, the include contains the enhancement point LMEPOF8D_02 which generates the sintax error, but we couldn't find if this enhancement is used in another place.
We also found note 1331844 and tried to fix the issue by using the 2nd solution propose in the note. But, it didn't work neither.
Do you have any idea about what cause could generates this error?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best Regards,
Leonardo

Cannot backup my files / copy my files and folders due to error message " The operation can't be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exists. "

Hi Apple community!
I have a [rather worrying] problem.
When I try to copy all my files from my documents on my mac [or the entire documents folder] into an external drive, I get this error message
" The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “.DS_Store” already exists. "
I am not given an option to skip this file or anything else.
But I simply cannot complete the operation!
I have tried deleting a few of the .ds_store files, [both in the original and in the destinations]
but no success.
The same thing keeps happening.
At first, this was just happening when I was trying to backup to my dropbox folder [the one on my mac's harddrive, which gets synced to the cloud],
but then I tried to back up my documents to my external hard drive, and I realized it is giving me the same error message.
So effectively, it seems I cannot backup my files anywhere!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Error message "The operation can't be completed because an item with the name .DS_Store already exists"

Major headaches with copying files and folders between drives. I constantly (and I mean constantly) have to resort to copying files across in small batches (fewer than 10 works best) because anytime I try to copy lots of files and folders from my mac to an external hard drive (or from one external HD to a second external HD), I ALWAYS get the error message "The operation can't be completed because an item with the name .DS_Store already exists".
The files and folders are all Mac-generated, so hint or trace of foreign OSs in the mix.
All file types are susceptible
the HDs are all Mac OS X formatted, no foreign file formats involved
the HDs are all journal-enabled, OS X extended formats
have looked on here for previous posts, past suggestion was to disable creation of DS_Store files - not really a solution and realistically, defeats the purpose of their creation
any ideas anyone?
would appreciate any thoughts or sugestions, this has got me beat
the context is that I have a lot of image files that I am copying (trying to...) new external 3TB drives for backup and the job appears endless if I have to do this in batches of 10 or so..!
many thanks for any suggestions

This is definitively a nuisance. When copying large amounts of files between volumes try opening a terminal window and use use ditto. You need to type the directory paths of the source and the destination volume. When it starts ditto just coupes and optionally overwrites anything on the destination. You can get a verbose mode where it lists all activities.

The operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists

I am trying to make a click and drag backup on an external FAT 32 drive to compliment my Time Machine backup (long story) and I've done this each time by dragging my critical folders into the drive. I get a message asking me to stop, replace or skip, and whether to apply to all items. i click replace, apply all, and let it go.
however, one stubborn folder refuses to comply. every single time I click and drag a group of folder that includes that one, I get a message saying "the operation could not be completed because an item with the name xyz already exists" even after I selected the the "apply all" prompt. at which point, the Mac stops transferring ALL the other files.
I figured, OK, i'll just transfer the other folders individually and then deal with this folder later. so I do that, and once I get to the offending folder, I try to transfer just that one folder into the drive. no good; I get the operation message again. I decide to just transfer the contents of the folder, rather than the folder itself. No good, I just get the operation message about one of the folders within the main folder.
anyone know the cause, or at least a fix?

If you've installed a system modification called "TotalFinder," remove it according to the developer's instructions after backing up all data. Log out, log back in, and try again.
Otherwise, open the Info dialog on both the source and the destination volumes. What is the Format of each? For example, it might be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

That is a problem with an extension that tries to install a search bar. The tnt2toolbar should give you a clue about which extension. You didn't add troubleshooting information with the list of installed extensions, so I can't give a suggestion about which extension is causing this.

A workflow with the same name already exists.

Hi, whenever I am trying to create a workflow in my MOSS teamroom, I am getting the error "A workflow with the same name already exists". I am getting this error message no matter what name I give. I checked all the lists and document libraries to see if there are any workflows but that doesnt seem to be the case. I opened the site in SPD and there also no workflows are listed.
Any insight will be appreciated.xwindow

I know it is a bit outdated but someone might found this helpful:
The other possible problem could be that the SPD lost connection with the Sp site for a sec but on the local machine there is a workflow with that name. ( In this case if you try to rename your workflow it gave you the same error message )
So have a look in SPD click on All files then select Workflows and delete the workflow that is causing the problem.
After this exercise you will be able to rename or re save your Workflow.

The operation cannot be completed an item with the name "...already exists

Hello mac users,
please help me... I can't copy to Applications any larger *.app file. I try drag Ableton (live.app ~120mb) or Mailplane.app (76mb) to Application dyr, but I saw message: "the operation cannot be completed an item with the name "..." already exists". But i had never install this apps before.

So, you are dragging the application from it's folder on the disk image directly to your Applications folder. If that's the case and you still get this message, have you ever installed that application before?
If it was installed at some time in the past, look in /Library/Receipts to see if there is a .pkg or a .bom for it. If you find one, delete it and try again.
EDIT: I'm downloading ableton now to see what's going on... OK no problems here. I dragged it to my Applications folder and now have a folder named "Live 7.0.10 OS X" in my Applications folder.
Perhaps you are looking for it under the wrong name?
