Manual modification of spfile caused error....

sgalaxyJan 25 2007 — edited Jan 25 2007

Hi ,
I have manually modified the file spfile.ora of Oracle10g v.2. After restarting the database service (control panel->windows service) whereas the database has been started successfully , i could not connect to it:
"ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"

The same message is displayed also when i deleted the line i had added beforehand in the spfile.ora file.

Executing the lsnrctl program to see what's going on....

LSNRCTL> status
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521)))
