Protocol Adapter Error, Listener is unable to start. 1521 is down

997337Jan 7 2015 — edited Jan 11 2015

hi,

I installed oracle 12c on my windows 8 OS(laptop).

Issues I am facing

1. I am unable to start LISTENER service using netca.

2. While configuring database using "Database Configuration Assistance" my LISTENER is down.

3. Tried to start it using lsncrtl start:

      then it gave me errors as:

Starting tnslsnr: please wait...

Unable to OpenSCManager: err=5

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error

I tried configuring LISTENER with different port number(other than 1521) then also unable to login.

4. When I tried to login using SQLPLUS i got this:

Enter user-name: orcl

Enter password:

ERROR:

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

The command prompt is of "netca" to configure listener. Its not giving the message of service success or started.

Please help me to solve all this problem. I think this is because of some entries in .ora file. Don't know how to configure it right.
