Oracle listener not running and won't start

Question

I am getting the following errors while from the lsnrctl status command:

C:\\Users\\pna105>lsnrctl stat

 LSNRCTL for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem on 11.201 on Windows. After: additional install 11.203 64bit server and client in new folders. PATH environment variable was changed right after install. Error in listener appeared after listener service restart. In my case there was a night time and number of windows updates, so windows server restart helped us. Also I cleaned listener.log file according to http://pavandba.com/tag/tns-12560-tns-protocol-adapter-error/, it was surprisingly big.
