TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting listner

Hi,
I am having this error when trying to start my oracle database listener.
I can connect to database normally with SqlPlus
Microsoft Loopback Adapter is installed and config with a fixed IP address. The IP add with computer name and domain is specified in the hosts file.
I didn't modify anything to the default listener.ora file.
Any suggestion. Thank you very much.
Best regards
K.

Now I am able to start my listener after I turn off my firewall and restart my computer. The port might be blocked previously ?
However, now I can't connect to the database even in Sql plus. When connect using user name and password, I have the same error: TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Testing my connection in Net CA, it said: "TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor".
In tnsnames.ora, I have SERVICE_NAME= orcl.
Result of tnsping orcl is "..OK<100msec>"
But result of lsnrctl services is: "The listnener supports no services"
I can't find any clue?
P/S: I am using Oracle database 11g EE Release 11.1.0.7.0 on Window platform.

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.

Getting ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when starting Oracle8i SVRMGR

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums, and I guess you could say "somewhat new" to the Oracle DB. I've played around with it casually in the past, but never got real serious with it :)
Anyhow, I wanted to see if someone could help with this. I found an old thread on a similar issue, but nothing seemed to help at all towards resolution, so I thought I would start a new thread, and maybe get some fresh ideas.
The issue is, I start SVRMGR on Oracle8i, and get the ORA-1260: TNS:protocol adapter error.
Here is my setup:
OS: Win2k Advanced Server
CPU: 2 - 930MHz Intel Xeon's
RAM: 1GB DIMM
DB Version: Oracle8i
No firewalls or any other TCP interference. Ok, so now that's out the way :), here is the issue:
When I start the SVRMGR, I get that error immediately. I have checked my tnsnames.ora file, and found some discrepancies, and have corrected them (at least to my knowledge), restarted all the Windows services running the various databases, and closed/re-opened the SVRMGR, and still get the same thing.
For reference, here is a copy of the tnsnames.ora file:

The ones I commented out were either non-existant databases, or the databases were shutdown, because they are not presently being used.
If someone could help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

HI,
1). Can you connect normally from SQL Plus?
-----------------------Here is entry in your Tnsnames.ora file.------------------------------
#You must check that your Dbase Listener is Listening request on port 1521.
ORCL9i =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Local-Server)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl9i)
2). For pinging a service.
If you've Microsoft Windows.
If your database service name is orcl9i
Run->Cmd
Tnsping orcl9i
--It will give you as following information either "OK" or Fail.

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when trying to connect

hopefully somebody can help me out... the problem i'm having is connecting to the scott/tiger database. i keep getting :
"ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" when trying to connect to it. it worked previously, but i unistalled oracle 8i personal and reinstalled it. now it doesn't let me connect. what's going on?
thanx,
uriah

You can run the net8 assistant to set up your tnsnames.ora file.
start/programs/oracle/network administration/net8 assistant
When you are done it should look something like this:
ORCL =

Gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing oracle 10g

I tried to install oracle 10g r2 in server 2008. but it gives ORA-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error when installing. how I can fix this issue??? please help me ASAP. because its urgent.
thanks in advance.
chamara

Welcome to the forums !
Pl indicate which version of 10g you are installing and on which version of Win 2008. Neither 10gR1 nor 10gR2 are certified to be installed on Win 2008 R1, AFAIK.
For 10gR2, only 10.2.0.5 is certified for Win 2008 R2 - see MOS Doc 1173433.1 (How to Install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on MS Windows 7 / Windows 2008R2)
Also see MOS Doc 740926.1 (Where can I find the Database / Client software to download for Microsoft Vista, or Windows 2008R1?).
Both 10gR1 and 10gR2 are now in extended support - is there a reason you are not using 11gR2 ?

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

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.

Check if your tnsnames.ora file has the entry for database you are trying to connect.
Are you able to connect using sqlplus??

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:

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 on Oracle Enterprise Linux

hi,
I am getting -
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error when I try to connect the Db installed on Oracle Enterprise Linux from other machines.
I made all the .bash_profile changes and created one shared listener also to check whether there is any problem with the dedicated default listener or its port.
Please suggest the solution .

You need to open the firewall on OEL.
Edit the contents of /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. I added the line in bold:
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
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.

Hello I am using Windows 7. Oracle 11g R2. Firstly I created my directory C:\oracle\net. Then I created an entry for TNSADMIN in the windows registry entering the newly created c:\oracle\net.
I ran Oracle Net Manager. The path C:\oracle\net is displayed in the title bar.
Using Oracle Net Manager I created my listener with the following settings as saved to listener.ora in the C:\oracle\net directory
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\net\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ADR_BASE_NEWLIST = C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\log
NEWLIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 2521))
From the command line prompt I type ......
lsnrctl start newlist
The following is returned
starting tnslnsr: please wait...
followed by
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: TNS:protocol adapter error
??? How do I resolve this? thanks

The above scenario is part of a learning exercise (ex6.1) from the chapter on configuring the Oracle Net Environment OCA Oracle Database 11g Administration I Exam Guide by John Watson from the Oracle Press series.
127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of (all) local machines.
This step is step 16 of the learning exercise. Until I resolve it I cannot complete the remaining steps!
The steps of the exercise are as below..........................
Configure Oracle Net
In this exercise, you will set up a complete Oracle Net environment, using graphical
and command-line tools. Where there are differences between Windows and Linux,
these will be pointed out.
1. Create a directory to be used for the Oracle Net configuration files, and set
the TNS_ADMIN variable to point to this. It doesn’t matter where the direc-
tory is, as long as the Oracle user has permission to create, read, and write it.
On Linux:
mkdir /u01/oracle/net
export TNS_ADMIN=/u01/oracle/net
Ensure that all work from now is done from a session where the variable has
been set.
On Windows:
mkdir d:\oracle\net
Create and set the key TNS_ADMIN as a string variable in the registry in
the Oracle Home branch. This will typically be
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OraDb1g_home1
2. Check that the variable is being read by using the TNSPING command from
an operating system prompt:
tnsping orcl
This will return an error “TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name” because there
are no files in the TNS_ADMIN directory. On Windows, you may need to
launch a new command prompt to pick up the new TNS_ADMIN value from
the registry.
3. Start the Net Manager. On Linux, run netmgr from an operating system
prompt; on Windows, launch it from the Start menu. The top line of the Net
Manager window will show the location of the Oracle Net files. If this is not
the new directory, then the TNS_ADMIN variable has not been set correctly.
4. Create a new listener: expand the Local branch of the navigation tree,
highlight Listeners, and click the +.
5. Enter a listener name, NEWLIST, and click OK.
6. Click Add Address.
7. For Address 1, choose TCP/IP as the protocol and enter 127.0.0.1 as the
host, 2521 as the port. The illustration that follows shows the result.
8. Create a new service name: highlight Service Naming in the navigation tree,
and click the +.
9. Enter NEW as the net service name, and click Next.
10. Select TCP/IP as the protocol, and click Next.
11. Enter 127.0.0.1 as the host name and 2521 as the port and click Next.
12. Enter SERV1 as the Service Name, and click Next.
13. Click Finish. If you try the test, it will fail at this time. The illustration that
follows shows the result.
14. Save the configuration by clicking File and Save Network Configuration.
This will create the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files in the
TNS_ADMIN directory.
15. Use an editor to check the two files. They will look like this:
LISTENER.ORA:
NEWLIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 2521))
TNSNAMES.ora:
NEW =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT =
2521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = SERV1)
16. From an operating system prompt, start the listener with lsnrctl start
newlist.
17. From an operating system prompt, test the connect string with tnsping new.
000
18. Connect to your database using operating system authentication, bypassing
any listener, with sqlplus / as sysdba.
19. Set the service_names and local_listener parameters for the running
instance (memory only, not the parameter file) and register the new service
name with the new listener:
alter system set service_names=serv1 scope=memory;
alter system set local_listener=new scope=memory;
alter system register;
20. From an operating system prompt, confirm that the new service has registered
with the new listener with lsnrctl services newlist.
21. Confirm that the new network environment is functional by logging on:
sqlplus system/oracle@new

Thx.

Yes, the XP firewall is running. During the Oracle instalation it poped up twice, but I selected 'Unblock'. I can't turn it off because it is running using the domain settings, but I can add exceptions (programs or ports). Port 1521, tnsping or sqlplus are not blocked and there is an option 'Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program' witch is checked.

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-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
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.
