Dear All,

We are installing SAP ECC 6 on Hp Unix 11.31 for Testing purpose. Database is Oracle 10.2.0.1.0.

sapinst throws the error related to listner. Listener is not able to start.

I have try to start manully using ora<sid> userid it also gives following error. I have set the permission on /vat/tmp/.oracle. It ok now but following error remain same.

Clear the /var/tmp/.oracle directory and start from fresh:

1. Stop all listeners
2. Remove the /var/tmp/.oracle directory, e.g. run the following from the root account:

   rm -rf /var/tmp/.oracle

3. Check the listener(s) configuration contains unique keys specified for each IPC endpoint and each listener
   
4. Start the listener(s) from the normal Oracle OS user.
   

Clearing the /var/tmp/.oracle directory will force the listeners to recreate the socket files from fresh, each with its own correct ownership.

Database is Oracle 10.2.0.1.0

Version is unsupported, apply last patch and continue.

Database version is also out of support, you should own the issues and resolutions part.

is right, you should use the newest patchset of Oracle 11.2.

Dear Nirav and SCN users,

TNS-12555: TNS:permission denied

Solution:

Commands:

SAPSUSE:/var/tmp # chown oraids:dba /var/tmp/.oracle/

SAPSUSE:/var/tmp # su oraids

SAPSUSE:oraids 50> lsnrctl start

Regards,

Good day,

We had the same problem.

The solution

- cd /tmp/.oracle

- Some of the files are not owned by oxa<sid> meaning that someone tried to start listener with either the root or sidadm user.

- delete all that does not owned by ora<sid>:dba files.

- lnsrctl start will work.

Kind regards,

Charles Koekemoer

Dear All,

Problem is solved.

I have checked in /tmp folder, it also have .oracle folder.  I have change the permission of /tmp/.oracle

to ora<sid> and group dba.

Now lisenter is started.

Thanks,

Nirav
