Well the listener is up. I did a TNSPING from another machine using the service name and it was fine. I also did a TNSPING to itself. In fact I set up the repository ahead of time and because it would not start I dumped it and redid the EMCA and had it create its own repository and I pinged that.

I looked in the oms.nohup file and I found this in it about 2/3 of the way down.

Error in attempting to bind OMS Services over ORB. Shutting down oms

This was in the middle of trying to load everything in Java in the nohup file. I did a google on this and the only conclusion that I can see, because everyone said check listener etc etc. (which I did) there was one person who said it was a JRE problem. Since I looked at the nohup file and because it was in the middle of loading all the java classes etc it made some sort of logical sense, but I dont know anything about JRE except what Java does.

I did an uninstall and I am trying to do a reinstall.

I will keep you posted on my progress. If anyone else has any ideas let me know.
