listener.ora

[maxgiusti]

Hi,
i have a DB 8.1.7 on Linux. For resolution name i use local naming, and on my client I edit my tnsnames.ora standardly (sid = "sid", protocol = tcp, port= 1521).

It's all ok, I connect and there isn't any problem. But when I go to edit llistener.ora on my server I don't try it. I search it with command find, ma it isn't. After that I stop listner and I start It, this is the output prompt me:

Starting /home/oracle/OraHome1/product/8.1.7/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...

Ther isn't nothing about system parameter file.
Why? If there is, where is my listener.ora?

Thank you,

if there is no TNS_ADMIN variable defined, it should be in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
alse do :
find / -name listener.ora -exec grep -il 'data.sinapsi.net.com' {} \;

and you'll get the file that is used ...

I have already verified, environemnt variable TNS_ADMIN ther isn't. On $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin there isn't listener.ora and nor with command find I find this file :-(

Thank you for your help

in this case, try to take listener.ora file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/samples, copy it in network/admin, and just change it to match your configuration. If 'lsnrctl start' still gives the same thing, then there is something strange
