Hi,
I have recently installed oracle 10g express edition on my fc5 os and the server is up and running, thus i can connect with oracles connect.

However the http server is not working and the log file listener.log contains the following.



TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 25-MAY-2006 18:01:56

TNS-12555: TNS: permission denied
TNS-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error
TNS-00525: Insufficient privilege for operation
Linux Error: 1: Operation not permitted

what can i do to get rid of this?
thank you in advance

did you edit listener.ora? Check to see if you have a duplicate SID_NAME entry, if so, put the original
SID_NAME=PLSExtProc back (from 10gR1 server) or you can try to login as user oracle, and run netca to create/delete/test listeners.

I did not actually edit anything (Not that I know what to edit!)

This is my listener.ora

# listener.ora Network Configuration File:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
____________________________________________________________________________________
And just in case its necessary

the following is my tnsnames.ora

# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:

XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
)

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)

What is netca? I did not find that command


Thank you once again

Hi debasish_5849,

I've been deal with the same problem like yours,..!

Then I changed the listener config (listener.ora) like this:

mesz@zorg-base:~$ more /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/network/admin/listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
# (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = zorg-base)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

The change is to remark (put #) in the begining of line:
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))

Seem's like trouble with IPC protocol or mechanism,..?
But still don't know why this can be hapenned.

FYI, I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy, hopefully this will help!

BR,

Mesz

Hi debasish_5849,

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = zorg-base)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

The change is to remark (put #) in the begining of line:
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))

And then the listener suddenly works fine!
