    ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed

    I am trying to connect remotely to another linux server. When my servers are started as user 'A' and I connect through sqlplus as system/password@hos from the user 'oracle' i get this error message from the logs:

    TNS-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
    TNS-12547: TNS:lost contact
    TNS-12560: TNS: protocol adapter error
    TNS-00517: Lost contact
    Linux Error: 32: Broken pipe

    Our processes are set to 2000 so it isn't the processes. Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks

    DBA

    Can you post what you have in listener.ora, listener.log and /var/log/messages?

    Sorry guys, got busy with other things. Here is the info you requested.

    Listener.ora:
    LISTEN_1521 =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST=
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IP ADDRESS)(PORT = 1521))
    (SERVICE_NAME = SID)
    )

    listen.log:


    type='UNKNOWN' level='16' host_id='hostname'
    host_addr='IP ADDRESS'>
    18-JUN-2009 10:25:50 * (CONNECT_DATA=(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=hostname)(USER=user 'A'))(COMMAND=status)(ARGUMENTS=64)(SERVICE=listen_1521)(VERSION=185599744)) * status * 0




    I can connect as user oracle via ssh.

    when I am in sqlplus and try to connect remotely I get the error when the listener is started as the user 'A'.
    SQL> conn user/password@hostname.world;
    ERROR:
    ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed

    Your listener seems not configured properly. Please post 'lsnrctl status listner' and 'tnsping' command outputs.

    Thanks,

    Try hard to get what you like OR you will be forced to like what you get.

    TNS:Connection closed

    Thanks guys, I think I found out the problem. I still have to test it but it appears that when I do a nslookup it isn't configured correctly. It still has the old domain name. Once I change this hopefully it will fix the issue. Thanks again for your help.
