    Does anyone know how to change the location of the listener.ora file on solaris 2.6.

    I inherited a situation where this file was placed in a non default location (7.3.4). Ive recently installed 8.1.6 and need to set up a second listener. Unfortunatly both listeners seem to want to use the same listener.ora file.

    Any ideas?

    ENV variable TNS_ADMIN points to the directory of the listener.ora. Set up different listeners if you need to. They should have different names however. Listener is the default name.

    if you want 2 listeners, one 7.3.4, and the other 8.1.6, they won't ask for the same listener.ora file since this file resides in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin, I guess you didn't change your environment
    what you got to do is :

    set environment for 7.3.4 (ORACLE_HOME and PATH)
    start 7.3.4 listener
    set environment for 8.1.6 (ORACLE_HOME and PATH)
    start 8.1.6 listener

    I set the tns_admin variable for the oracle7 user and got this

    bash$ export TNS_ADMIN=/development/usr/local/oracle/product/7.3.4/network/admin/
    bash$ echo $TNS_ADMIN
    /development/usr/local/oracle/product/7.3.4/network/admin/
    bash$ lsnrctl start

    If I do this for the ORACLE8 user I can start the listener.

    Strange!

    :-)

    Check for mismatched parenthesis in the listener.ora

    If that was not the problem then it might be this: set $TNS_ADMIN to a specific directory and place the SQL*Net configuration files in that location.
