Listener won't start (11g)
536054Aug 28 2009 — edited Aug 28 2009Hey all -
I have an 11g install on CentOS5. For some reason, the lsnctl command will not start. The following is the output:
LSNRCTL> start
Starting /opt/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...
TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
System parameter file is /opt/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/network/admin/listener.ora
Log messages written to /opt/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/cm/listener/alert/log.xml
Error listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=EXTPROC1521)))
TNS-12555: TNS:permission denied
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00525: Insufficient privilege for operation
Linux Error: 1: Operation not permitted
Listener failed to start. See the error message(s) above...
I have the feeling that this is just some OS level permissions - at least I hope so!
The DB is started and open, and the ORACLE_SID is set properly. I am using the "oracle" user created during the install to start the DB and strart the listener.
Here is the contents of my lsitener.ora:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rampod2.jsc-rampod)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
TNSPING reveals no listener (of course).
