Good Evening,
Here we have a Two Server with different operating system and different versions of ORACLE

1 server contains SCO UNIX 5.0 with ORACLE 7.1.6.2 and
2 server Contains WINDOWS 2000 with ORACLE 9i.

We have a problem related with listner Services is not running on UNIX Machine and when we connect from 9i Server/ or any windows Client Machine by giving host Name(Through TNSNAMES.ORA we have already Defined host String by giving Host Name/ IP Address and SID Name) it gives a error "NO Listner".

so we tried to Start Listner Service on UNIX Machine it gives Error :

I am writing the Following Procedure
to start listner Services on UNIX Machine

$ lsnrctl

LSNRCTL for AT&T System V/386: Version 2.1.6.0.0 - Production on 08-JAN-04 15:32:49

Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1994. All rights reserved.

Welcome to LSNRCTL, type "help" for information.

LSNRCTL> start
Starting /u1/oracle/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

TNSLSNR for AT&T System V/386: Version 2.1.6.0.0 - Production
NL-00462: error loading parameter file /etc/listener.ora
NL-00405: cannot open parameter file
SNL-00016: snlfohd: error opening file

we have also find Listner.ORA in Oracle Home Directory. But Listner.ORA is not there in oracle Home ie not exists in "etc" folder.I think it may be Deleted. also Initial Parameter file ie Initorcl.ora is ok

is there any solution or reason for that.

by default listener.ora should be in
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
make sure a corret copy of listener.ora ( with correct entries) is place in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
if there is no such file...create one~

thanks Mahesh. exactly by default listner.ora is in oracle_home/network/admin directory but in our case there is not network directory in oracle home. and also when we try to start listner it searches in
etc folder ie

NL-00462: error loading parameter file /etc/listener.ora

also how to create listner.ora ? or if create mannually then is there any difference in listner.ora in windows and unix environment.can we copy listner.ora of oracle 8 in windows os to unix by changing database name parameter and host address

here in windows NT the contents of listner.ora in oracle 8 is

LISTENER =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= IPC)
(KEY= oracle.world)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= IPC)
(KEY= ORCL)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= IPC)
(KEY= EXTPROC0)
)
(ADDRESS=
(COMMUNITY= NMP.world)
(PROTOCOL= NMP)
(SERVER= MIRASHNT)
(PIPE= ORAPIPE)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= TCP)
(Host= mirashnt)
(Port= 1521)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= TCP)
(Host= mirashnt)
(Port= 1526)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= TCP)
(Host= 127.0.0.1)
(Port= 1521)
)
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL= SPX)
(Service= mirashnt_lsnr)
)
)
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = 0
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = mirashnt)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = extproc)
(PROGRAM=extproc)
)
)
PASSWORDS_LISTENER = (oracle)

thanks

listener.ora is very sensitive to syntax and formatting. any additional spaces will also make the lsrnctl to fail.
You can copy the windows file to unix system and make sure u dont have any additional charcters (^m).
