Hidden listener ? :)

4224300Apr 3 2020 — edited Apr 6 2020

Hello,

It is cruel to post a question on Friday evening.. But, after my internet search, I couldn't find an answer and I think this issue is fun.

So, here is some background:

I installed oracle database using OUI. During oracle installation, for some reasons, listener was assigned port number 1539. The VM was pretty new.. So, there was no way that 1521 port was busy. I am not sure why this happened.

Then, I changed the listener.ora file to as shown below. Since then, netca also stopped working.. I assume I corrupted something by changing the listener.ora file.

I am not sure why listener is still listening on port 1539. This port is definetely not listed in listener.ora file. Could you please suggest why?

Thanks in advance for your help. I wish you guys a safe weekend.

Best regards,

Chinnu
