TNS-12541: TNS:no listener TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Dears
One of the solution , is to check the listener log , in my case I got this error when the size of logfile reached 4GB , so notepad will not be able to write to this file , then I just rename it and generated automatically a new log and listener work fine.

RegardsIt sounds like you're running Windows. In Unix/Linux environments you can configure LogRotate to avoid that. It rotates the logs on a fixed bases and can delete them based on an aging policy. This way this problem never occurs to begin with.
I believe there are log rotate equivalents available, you should look around for them. I see one on SourceForge but I haven't tried it myself.

    Hi,
    Did you check whether the windows service for listener is up and running? if not please start it, by typing "services.msc" in run window and start the service. Then check whether you have listener.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and also post listener.ora contents.
    Regards,
    Pradeep. V

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded from oracle 9 to 10g and I get the error above.
    I created a new database I CAN connect to it using sqlplus (from console), but I cannot connect using any ide.
    .ora files are the following:
    listener.ora:
    LISTENER =
         (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
              (DESCRIPTION =
                   (ADDRESS_LIST =
                        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT = 1521))
    sqlnet:
    NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
    tnsnames:
    SM_LOKI =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = SM)
    Oracle version is:
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
    When I try to start listener (lsnrctl status) I get the error:
    Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=loki.dev.justplus.ro)(PORT=1521)))
    TNS-12541: TNS:no listener

    TNS-00511: No listener
    32-bit Windows Error: 61: Unknown error
    Forgot to mention the OS: windows 2003
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You didn't describe how you performed the upgrade process. But it looks like you performed a migration process instead. If there is no listener service listed it's because it has never been started, or even configured. You should use the netca or the network manager to configure the listener and start it. The first time it starts it shows an error on windows platforms because the service originally doesn't exist, once it is created it displays the listener status.
    Please check the name resolution mechanism. If you are working on dhcp assigned IP or if you have a fixed IP. In case you are working with dynamic IP address you should configure a loopback adapter, and I suggest you reading this reference: Connectivity. Loopback Adapter.

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error  TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error

    Unable to start listener service.
    Running Oracle Database 11gr2 on Windows 7.
    I just installed Oracle with the "install software only" option.
    Already set up the instance, the database, the dictionary views, etc.
    Created tsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora and listener.ora as shown below.
    Before installing Oracle I followed the instruction on Oracle
    documentation to install a Loopback Adapter.
    It is set up as the primary adapter as indicated on the
    instructions. The name is "gabylan" (previously the computer
    name was "P4". I set up the "hosts" file as indicated, the oracle_hostname
    variable, etc. as you will see below. I don't know if it's important to "uncomment"
    the line on the "hosts" file for the "localhost" entry, I left it
    as it was originally.
    Services currently in "Started" Status:
    OracleServiceorcl
    Oracle orcl VSS Writer Service
    OracleMTSRecoveryService
    OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent

  • Oracle Database 11g Installation Issue: ORA-12560:TNS: protocol adapter error.

    Folks,
    Hello. Initially, my Windows XP host name is "localhost" and IP address 127.0.0.1.
    I installed Oracle Database 11g with Windows XP successfully and all Database clients work with Database instance correctly.
    For some reasons, I uninstalled the entire Database Server and delete the entire installation directory /oracle.
    I configured Windows XP IP address into 192.168.196.101 in order to ping other machines.
    For my need, I installed Oracle Database 11g with Windows XP again. On step 7 of 8: Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I got this error:
    ORA-12560:TNS: protocol adapter error.
    I click "Password Management" button, there are no rows in this Windows (no username, no lock accounts).
    I check listener as below:
    C:\>lsnrctl
    LSNRCTL>start
    Its output: listener name LISTENER has already been started.
    LSNRCTL>status
    Its output: ......Service DB1 has 1 instance. Instance DB1 status ready. The command completed successfully.
    I check \Oracle\cfgtoollogs\dbca\DB1\trace file, the entry is :
    listen[0]=LISTENER address=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(port=1522))
    I also check \oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE\tnsnames.ora file and listener.ora file, the entries are the same as below
    HOST=localhost  port=1522
    I think HOST=localhost and port=1522 is the cause of the error ORA-12560 because Windows XP has been configured into HOST=192.168.196.101.
    But I don't understand how to solve this issue.
    Can any folk tell me how to solve this issue ? need to cancel the installation on step 7 of 8 and install it again ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Oracle Database 11g Installation Wizard is on step 7 of 8. I don't cancel the Wizard. I am not sure whether there is effect or not. listener.ora is not removed. I have been waiting for a while after stop listener.  I run the 3 commands again and copy the result as below:

    Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

    hi,
    thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

  • ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error in Oracle Forms...

    Hi, I installed Oracle developer suite to use for Oracle forms but am getting "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to run a form. The database is running locally on my PC.
    I've run the command line to see if hostname matches up with the "HOST= " in the ".../network/admin/listener.ora " file match, they do. What can I try next? I did have Oracle 10gXE installed, which I have now removed. I'm including my tnsnames and listener file content:

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Of course you found another one. Each .and every Oracle database client home (such as developer, app server) has one.
    Don't just change the port - the tnsnames.ora in the dev home does not point to a database service. It only points to an extproc [external procedure called by a database]. You need to put a database service entry into that file similar to the one in the database home. (Easiest solution - copy the tnsnames.ora from db home ... after you've made a backup)
    And please don't tell me you are using Developer 6i - a simple Google search would verify that the networking is incompatible.

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error (when starting database)

    Hi.. everyone.
    I am testing oracle9i and oracle10g on the same machine, windows xp pro.
    When I was trying to start oracle10g using command line mode,
    I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
    I entered these command.
    set oracle_home=10g_homexxxx
    set oracle_sid=xxdb
    sqlplus /nolog
    conn sys/xxx as sysdba
    I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
    The install of two different versions of oracle , oracle9i and oracle10g,
    on the same machine(windows xp pro) could cause this problem?
    Is it safe to install two different versions of oracle on the same window machine?
    Is there any confliction in environment variables?
    I think there is no problem on the linux, unix system.
    I stoped the listener of oracle9i and tried again. But I failed.
    I am looking forwared to hearing your experience and advice.
    Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
    Ho.

    Dear Werner.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I shutdown oracle9i and 10g, using "services.msc" utility from windows.
    Therefore, "OracleService<xxdd>" is not running.
    What I want to do is to startup 10g database using "cmd",command line mode.
    In addition, I would like to know why I could not start 10g database, using "cmd"
    on windows xp pro.
    I installed 9i first and installed 10g. I think there are a kind of environment variable
    conflictions.
    I am wondering how I can fix them, and whether or not they are curable.
    Thanks for your reply. Have a good day.
    Regards.
    Ho.

  • Tns-12560: TNS protocol adapter error on linux

    I've installed an oracle 10g database on linux 4.6 in a VMWare image. After opening an x term window within the image, I'm getting a tns-12560 error when both running tnsping and opening a sqlplus session as a database user. The listener and database seem to start fine. I've included entries for sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora and ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME values for my user.
    mui> tnsping orcl
    Used parameter files:
    /pinmaster/newtools/oracle_10.2/linux/network/admin/sqlnet.or
    Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
    Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = cgbu-p731v2.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
    TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    From sqlnet.ora: NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
    From tnsnames.ora:

    This is from init.ora
    # Database Identification
    db_domain=""
    db_name=orcl
    Environment variables for the database user:

    ORACLE_SID=orcl
    13mui> env | grep ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_HOME=/pinmaster/newtools/oracle_10.2/linux

    One of the more common issues causing 12560 is that the host in the listener.ora does not match current host name. Commonly caused by dhcp.
    Your tnsnames.ora looks for cgbu-p731v2.us.oracle.com
    Your listener.ora want to listen for cgbu-p731v2.us.<<my domain entry>>.com
    Your hostname is ??? (enter 'hostname' at command line)

    hi,
    I am getting -

    As you can see, my listener port is 1521.
    Do not put that line after the line with REJECT keyword ( it won't work then) !
    Save and close the file. Restart iptables:
    /etc/init.d/iptables restart
    Now you can connect from the outside.
    It works on my OEL version 5 update 4.

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error - Of a different sort

    Hi ,
    Have a unique problem.
    System :- Win 2K
    I have installed 9iDB & 9iDS. They were working perfectly fine. I was able to connect to DB from forms. But due to some restrictions i had to resort to 6i forms.
    Now i installed 6i forms on the same machine. But when i try to connect to DB i get the TNS:Protocol Adapter error. I am sure the instance and the listener is up and running. Because still i am able to connect from 9i forms. The DB name is MYDB.
    The error i am getting is :-
    ========================
    Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:
    (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle80)(ARGV0=oracle80ORCL)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORCL)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\Oracle6i\BIN\PLUS80W.EXE)(HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)(USER=Myself))))

    Can someone please guide me as to how i can connect to my 9iDB from 6iforms.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Oracle is a bit touchy with tnsnames.ora spelling. I copied your entry, just changing names :
    MYDB =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)

  • TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error Windows XP

    have Oracle 9i and 10g installation on Windows XP
    trying to start listener
    lsnrctlLSNRCTL> start
    Starting tnslsnr: please wait . . .
    Failed to start service, error 1058.
    TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
    32-bit Windows Error: 1058: Unknown error
    Any suggestions for how to fix this error?

    What's the status of the corresponding Windows service? OS error 1058 means normally service is deactivated. In the worst case it could be necessary to remove the service from the registry. Afterwards reboot the machine and recreate the service by 'lsnrctl start'.
