SQL*PLUS
User Name: xxxxx
Password : xxxxx
Host String: <Blank>
connect without any problem.
Once I include the orcl name I can't connect and get the following error message
TNS-12541: TNS: no listner

Service OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener already running.

Answer 1

Hi
Check this out.
TNS-12560: "protocol adapter error"
Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
Action: Check addresses used for proper protocol specification.
For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. Turn off tracing when the operation is complete.
TNS-00530: "protocol adapter error"
Cause: A generic protocol adapter error occurred.
Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.
Proposed Solution on metalink.
Solution Description:
=====================
Delete the protocols in your "listener.ora" file that you do not use.
Edit the "listener.ora" file and look at the protocol section. Make sure that
only the protocols that you use on your system are there (i.e., TCP, IPC, ...)
and that there are no entries listed for SPX or NMP (named pipes).

Since you are only using TCP I don't think that is the issue. You should turn on tracing to get more details.
