which login do you use ???
what are the owner and rights on $ORACLE_HOME/bin ???

[gaegoori]

I am login as Oracle
permission on $ORACLE_HOME/bin is 755

You may need to change the permissions on the "/VAR/TMP/.ORACLE" file.
In order for the Listener to open a socket, oracle must have write
access on
"/var/tmp/.oracle". Do the following:

1) % cd /var/tmp

2) Either change the ownership and group of the ".oracle" directory to
"oracle/dba":

# chown oracle .oracle
# chgrp dba .oracle

or

Change the permissions on the directory:

# chmod 777 .oracle


Solution Explanation:
=====================

Upon starting the Listener, an IPC socket file is created in
"/var/tmp/.oracle". Thus, "/var/tmp/.oracle" must be writable by the
oracle
user.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DOUG.....Listener started now.....=)

I'm running into another problem....our server went down and lsnrctl did not started up....so I went to /var/tmp...but somehow /var/tmp is link to tmp --> /tmp/vartmp...and I don't see .oracle file anymore....what should I do?

[molonede]

Try creating the .oracle directory in /tmp, if this does not succeed try creating the .oracle in /tmp/vartmp.

You must be the oracle user when creating the directory.

cd /tmp
mkdir .oracle

or

cd /tmp/vartmp
mkdir .oracle

[molonede]

Also, the .oracle directory may need to be listed without all the parameters. Try

ls -la

This may allow you to view it, did you try cd'ng into the directory? Ask Unix admin how this changed.

[gaegoori]

it worked.....thank you...I don't know who create that link...but I guess I should get rid of that link and mkdir under /var/tmp/.oracle?...right?

[molonede]

Your unix admin may have moved your directory because it was eating up space in that file system. I would leave it where it is, I have a couple that are installed in /tmp/.oracle and have no problems. It saves space in the /var directory.
