TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.

I have installed Oracle 9i on machine in Windows XP. When I try to open the database SID in the Enterprise Manager, it gives me TNS Error: ORA-12541: TNS: no listener.
I have checked the Oracle Net Configuration:
Protocol: TCP/IP
Host: PNR18
Port: 1521
In the xp administrative tools, I found that the listener is on start.
When I try to test trough ' Net Configration Assistant' getting same error, similarly with Net Manager.
I don't know if I am using the correct protocol in my case of standalone installation.
Any advice/correction? it would be appreciated. I am giving all the information of TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, which is on my machine.
Thanks in advance.

First of all Thanks for suggestions for solutions but still SAME PROBLEM:
Case-1::
I tried according to your suggestion, still SAME error !! I have also configured new DB
with Enterprise MAnager Configuration Assistent - during DB creation same error occured.
1) I have seen in XP service where all listener is running as well as OracleServiceORCL
is also running.
2) OracleOraHome90TNSListener also running with other listeners!
Case-2::
Dear I also delete listener and create new one and also configured Database Description
and tried to do so but still same problem while I am TESTing it with - Net Manager /
Net Configuration Assistant. I have also tried
C:\TNSPING ORCL - it is giving 'ok' result
but when I am using C:\LSNRCTL START listener - it gives me following errors.
Service OracleOraHome90TNSListener already running.

The Listener in SNAPSHOT server and the MASTER server - started
I can do the same from different country of the other server with the same tnsname works.
But only this perticular site have issues since Oct 27, 2011 onwards. The last successful replication from that snapshot site to master is on Oct 27, 2011.
I can connect to the SNAPSHOT Site and from there i can connect to the master using any profile to the master.
But only when i replicate from the snapshot site using the script then i am getting this 12541 no listener error
Please help.
Thank you,

Hello Nicholas,
Thank you for your suggestion.
But i do not think it is really required to change P96 tnsnames.ora.
Because, T72 database is in a Linnux box where several other DB are also there.
(Our landscape,NOn-PRD DB instances are together in 1 linux box)
DB13 jobs of other instances are working fine.
Only difference is T72 sap instace is a windows server where as other instances are in AIX.
In DB13c, windows system is configured as without ABAP server .
                 UNIX systems as With ABAP server.
All were working with this configuration till few days ago.
Thank you.

i think you want to connect to a databaseServer on the local host.
set the ORACLE_SID variable with the command
export ORACLE_SID=<here_the_name_of your_database>
with bash shell.
then start sqlplus with
sqlplus system
and type the password at the following prompt. default password for system is
manager
better not use the user/password cmdline,
cause other users on this system can see your password in the processList (ps ax).
create a demo user, i found no user scott after installing.
have fun

RE: Error: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

I installed 9i on Win98. When I go to run 9i Navigator to connect to local database, or run SQL*Plus to connect the above error is returned
Thanks in advance for your help !
Joey C. :-)

I'm assuming that you chose to install the database & client, not just the client. If you chose only to install the client components, there won't be a database to connect to.
If you look at the list of services running on your machine via the Control Panel, you should see something along the lines of a "database listner" service. I don't recall the exact terminology at the moment. Make sure that this service is "Running".

Using a DNS address in tnsnames.ora and a hardcoded IP address in listener.ora or a DNS name not translating to the same IP address the tnsnames.ora DNS translates to, is a known source for ORA-12541.
The listener tries to establish communications to the client, using the IP address it gets from listener.ora or by calling nslookup.
If they don't match: kabloey.
Been there, done that, and a little searching would have helped you out.

ORA-12541: TNS:no listener error from client mechine

We have oracle 11g server from onsite and I am trying to connect from offshore client.But I am getting error
From SQL plus i am getting the error,
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
and from SQL Developer I am getting the error,
IO Error:The network adapter could not establish the connection
I am able to Telnet the host with proper port.Onsite peoples able to connect the database from any client using the same TNS names configration I am using.
What are the possibilities to get this errors ?
Please guide me on this.

Hi
Thanks for reply.I checked with onsite DBA for listener and it is up.If you have an on-site DBA why aren't you working with him to solve the problem?
Since you assert that other client machines are able to connect to the database, the issue must be with your own setup. I strongly suspect your tnsnames has a bad entry. Please compare it to the same file from a working client. Also, show us the contents of your tnsnames.ora file.

I dont have access of disable the firewall in my clent mechine.I will get it done by network team and post you the status.

After upgrading from 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7, I get the error: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener.
I have attached my tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and my sqlnet.log.
I have tried deleting the listener and re-adding it and I get the same error.
I have tried adding a new database and it errored at 97% because it couldn’t connect to the listener, but still seemed to create the database.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi,
What is your ORACLE_SID name of your database. Have you checked in given above output there is two things:
1.
Service "orcl.us.oracle.com" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orcl_XPT.us.oracle.com" has 1 instance(s).

The command completed successfully
The status BLOCKED is coming instead of READY

(ORACLE_HOME=/private/app/oracle/product/8.0.3)
In your case SID_LIST_LISTENER part is missing.
In this part you have to set SID_NAME and ORACLE_HOME value of new 11g home.
Hope this will help you.

Another ORA-12541:TNS: No Listener

I have Windows Vista
I install Oracle 10g Enterprise edition on my laptop, then I install the DevSuite 10g and 4 days later i cant connect to TOAD or SQLplus I got the error
ORA-12541:TNS: No Listener
I have 2 folders on my C:// Drive

Can anyone help? I ran already the command:

And I got the following message:

Can someone help?

ORA-12541: TNS:no listener on my VISTA

Hi guys,
I've installed Oracle 10g on my Windows Vista laptop and it says Successful but upon connecting to Database using TOAD or SQL plus an error ORA-12541: TNS:no listener. What seems to be the problem here. I've search the forums and try all the advices but to no avail.? I run the lsnrctl start / in the command prompt but it seems that lsnrctl command is not recognize as an internal or external command. by the DOS. I also checked the Services to determine if the OracleServices is running but I cant find any Service with Oracle name. Ive reinstalled twice but unfortunately same things happen. Kindly advice.
Thank you
Jay

Sybrand and Zack: Thanks for pointing me to the log. I was able to see that the problem computer had a Windows Computer Name mismatch. And also, its "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" network connection had been disabled. While I could have tried enabling the MLA, I chose to set the "HOST = " value in the listener.log file in the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\ADMIN\ path to match the Windows Computer Name. Once I changed that, I was able to start the Listener.
...and now, I need to address the issue of Vista versions:
If you guys would look up the Microsoft Windows Vista: Compare editions page, you would see that the differences are just frosting on the cake. Things like "Aero Desktop", "Tablet PC Support", "Windows Meeting Space", some backup/restore options and more games (Yeah I really want InkBall and Chess Titans!). Otherwise, Vista is running the same engine under the hood.
I have no clue why Oracle has chosen to certify only a specific Vista version. It appears they have fallen for a Microsoft marketing ploy: give people a choice of levels, and human nature is to always reach for the more expensive one.
A few years ago, when Oracle was proudly bragging about their robustness and the "Write once, Run anywhere" theme, they would have certified their software on all Vista versions. Given Larry's distaste for competition with Microsoft, it would seem like he would have urged Marketing to aim for the leanest Vista version. But then maybe Marketing decided that having software that ran on the cheapest Vista version would look cheap. Or maybe they are looking for ways to cut back on costs -- it is less expensive to say you support Vista and then tell some of the people seeking help that they have the wrong version, rather than spend the time helping them work through the problem.
No matter what Oracle's reason, I still say you guys parroting the same line as Oracle are doing a disservice to people looking for help on the forum.
The answers given so far were perfectly valid, because this is the
answer you will get from Oracle Support. They will not help the OP. Nor
will they help you when your database on Vista Home crashes.Sounds like my mother telling me to put on a coat before I go out to play. "You'll be sorry when you catch a cold!"
Sorry, but Oracle is the LAST place I would go for help. Multiple times, I have presented issues to Oracle, and the person at the other end either could not comprehend the problem, or maintained that what I was seeing was the same as another bug... It is my experience that they go to the greatest lengths possible to maintain that there is nothing wrong at their end. The result is that it is up to me to find a workaround.
Not certified means not certified. It might work, and then it might not
work. You have just been lucky.Right. I work on software day in and day out that has been uncertified by Oracle, but still runs fine -- in production. And on the other side of the coin, have published steps to get software to run on platforms not yet certified by Oracle.
People are providing this answer here, because no one can provide more
support than Oracle Support actually does.Why do you write such stuff? Every time I encounter this Re: Sarcasm and negative comments, it gets me going.

porblemYes. There is a very easy process to solve this:
1) open a Windows Explorer, go to the directory (oracle home)\network\admin, copy and paste into the forum the files listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora
and
2) open a cmd window, enter command lsnrctl status and ipconfig /all, copy and paste into forum the complete display of this
Exactly the same advice of others, such as madrid, Virag and orafad, who want to help you.

9.2.0.1.0 - OEM - XP home - ORA-12541 TNS: no listener

I have installed 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows XP home edition and can connect to database with SQL Plus but get ORA-12541 TNS: no listener error when I try to connect with OEM. I saw someone else had this problem in Febuary and he sadly got no replies, hopefully someone will be able to help me (us) out.

I guess you now have answers.
1. Check if listener is running
lsnrctl status <listener name>
2. Check port number and SID used
3. Check TNSNAMES for correct Port and SID name
4. Check error details in $HOME/network/log
