Oracle Database Discussions

Installed Oracle 10g XE on my notebook running linux. Because the IP address and hostname is assigned dynamically from my cable broadband provider, I edited both $ORACLE_HOME/server/network/admin/listener.ora and $ORACLE_HOME/server/network/admin/tnsnames.ora so that any reference to the dynamic hostname refers to 127.0.0.1 instead, as shown below.

However, after these changes, and restarting via /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop and then start, nothing is listening on port 8081 anymore ( port 8081 is the port I have set in /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe
for the HTTP_PORT variable ).

What to do to get back HTTP port 8081 ??

tnsnames.ora

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =

)
