Prolem starting listener in Oracle 9i on Windows

After a fresh installation of Oracle 9.2 on Windows 2003 server, there is no service created for listener. When I tried to start it from command prompt, I get following
D:\oracle\ora92\bin>lsnrctl start

There is no listener.log file created at all. Further I started the trace for the listener but it is not even creating the listener trace file.
Please help

Thanks. I installed software and created database as well. The database service is running but there is no listener service created. But I am getting the error even if I try to start the listener with lsnrctl start. Follwoing is listener.ora.

Unable to start listener in Oracle 10g personal edition

Hi all,
I am trying to start the listener on my Oracle 10g personal edition. I tried this from Windows' Administrative Tools' and then 'Services'. I also tried it from the Command line. Both methods fail. Here are the error messages for each method:

i have done that. i copied the tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, listener.ora files from the c:>oracle-home\network\admin folder into oracle_devhome\network\admin folder. i have also set the environment variable oracle_sid=skoolman. skoolman is my sid as you can see on the tnsnames.ora. but the error massage still comes up as soon as i run forms from the forms builder environment.
but as i said i am able to connect to the database with my user name and pass word from within the forms builder environment to access my tables and create data blocks etc but as soon as i run the form through internet explorer the forms servlet boots up and the error massage ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error pops up.
thanks guys for your heip. please i need more solutions

Reply to : TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup

To answer the post from Manwendra Jun 20, 2013 7:17 AM
" TNS:protocol adapter error while starting Listener created by Oracle SES11.1.2.2 Setup "
https://community.oracle.com/message/11077982#11077982
Hello,
Probably that you already have the listener up and running from your installation of SES.
Also, you could check in your Windows Services (from the Control Panel), you'll see that
there is a service like OraclesesTNSListener up and running.
If it is the case, then it's probably why it is telling you the message below when trying to start it again:
TNS-01106: Listener using listener name LISTENER has already been started
Then, before trying to start the listener, you can check if it is already up by running the command : lsnrctl status
If you need to shut it down, then you can run the command : lsnrctl stop
for example, from the command line:
> set ORACLE_SID=ASUSES
> set ORACLE_BASE=D:\ses\
> set ORACLE_HOME=D:\ses\seshome
> cd %ORACLE_HOME%/bin
> lsnrctl status            <== this will give you the status of your listener
> lsnrctl stop              <== this will stop your listener
> lsnrctl start             <== this will start your listener
Hope this can help you and others.
Regards,
-Stephan

Start and Stop Listener service -Oracle 10g

Please, How I can stop and start listener service? My question is because I have "Oracle Instance" Oracle NT Service" in start up options in manually (i need to have them in way).
Platform: Oracle 10g.10.2.0.1.0 / Windows XP Professional.

If I understand your issue....
C:\> net start <listener service name>
and
C:\> net stop <listener service name>
where <listener service name> is exactly the service name you see in Services panel.

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: Can't start with any account but Local System

Fresh install of Oracle 10g on Windows 2003. I install as a member of the local admin group and everything works great. The various services are starting as Local System, though, and I'd prefer to set them up to start as a specific domain user account.
When I make that change, however, I can't get any of the Oracle related services to start. I've added this domain user to the local ora_dba group on my server, given it the ability to log on as a batch job and log on as a service in the local security policy. Doesn't seem to help.
I saw a thread that implied using a domain user account wasn't supported (didn't seem right to me, but what the hell), so I created a local user account and tried that. Same result.
Something I'm missing?
Thanks.

What is missing, I suspect, is reading the installation docs.
http://docs.oracle.com
If that doesn't work then come back and ask specific requestions referencing the appropriate document and naming the actual version you are trying to install (ps 10g is a marketing name not a version number).

Start up and shutdown scripts for Oracle R12 in Windows XP

I succesfully installed R12.1.1 in Windows XP and logged onto the Vision without any issues. But after restarting my PC, I am unable to restart (I dont know how to restart) the services.
I see the other threads that talk about the same scripts in Linux environment.
If anyone knows - how to start and shutdown R12 services in Windows environment, Plz share.
Thanks.

What's the error you get? Any relevant entries in log files? Did you perform any change on this account lately? if so, how did you do that?

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: instance not autostarting

I'm installing Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on two new Windows 2003 servers, and I'm facing the same problem, even after some full re-installations, on both of them; so this issue seems to be some kind of bug related to Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 and not just some random error.
When I run the installation it completes fine, and the database instance gets created and started without any trouble; I can connect to it using the console, the Java stand-alone Enterprise Manager, SQL Plus or anything else; it works when connecting from clients, too.
As soon as the server is rebooted, Oracle services start but it just seems the instance isn't actually started: any connection is refused by the listener which complains about not knowing the supplied instance name, and the oracle.exe process only uses about 11 MB of memory, which is a sure sign it isn't doing anything useful. The instance is configured to start, the registry keys are properly set, and everything works correclty after the installation... but stops working after the first server reboot.
I tried manually stopping and starting the services, in various orders; I tried re-installing Oracle various times; I tried deleting and re-creating the database instance, both at setup time or manually after the setup was done without creating an instance, I tried anything I could think of.
The only thing I didn't try was applying patch set 10.2.0.3 to the installation, but I just can't seem to find them, even though my company has an Oracle partnership; I find Metalink just a bit too confusing.
Can someone please help?
P.S.
The servers are actually VMWare ESX virtual servers, but I just can't imagine this to be the cause of the problem. The operating system on both servers is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (not R2), italian language, with service pack 2 and all the latest updates from Windows Update. The servers are not domain members and I'm running the installation using the local Administrator account.

I don't have a physical server available now, but I really can't even imagine how the underlying hardware, be it physical or virtual, could affect this behaviour. I'm talking about the Oracle service starting while the instance isn't, this is very unlikely to have any relationship with device drivers.

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8i on Windows-xp Professional. it gets installed but runs only once. that means its fails to run once I shut down the system and restart & shows the message-"oracle not found" or "tns server is not found". Can anybody please help me? Thanks in advance.

I've found that Oracle tends to survive well when installed on a supported platform which is upgraded, but there are usually issues when attempting a fresh install on a newer platform.
Your problem states "Oracle Not Found". Therefore your OS services know that they should be attempting to connect to an Oracle database but the database is 'not found'. Further, it says that the TNS Server is not found. TNS is Oracle's term for 'on the network'.
Is there a business reason that requires you to run obsolete software? If the database software MUST be obsolete, what is the logic behind upgrading the operating system? (In other words - why only upgrade one?)
You need to check the following things:
1) You have a static IP address and host name, and are NOT using DHCP;
(look at or post the result of command line "ipconfig /all")
2) Check whether the Oracle database service and the listener service are running;
(Under "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administration Tools > Service" or command line services.msc)
3) Tell us how well the listener is running;
(Command line "lsnrctl status")
