TNS Listener suddenly won't start
540072Jan 30 2012 — edited Jan 30 2012I have a database (10gR2) that has been running for a couple of years, but all of a sudden I couldn't get to it. Then, when I went to that server and tried to start the service it wouldn't start. The machine is a Dell running Server2003 R2. The service error says:
The Oracle[instance] TNSListener service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service.
Anyone ever seen this one before?
