Let me translate that for you<grin>:

"It was a corrupted listener file" = "I really don't have a clue why you couldn't connect"

It's easy to overlook that file. I've seen it done, and I've done it myself too. What used to annoy me is that I would always remember at a time when I couldn't afford to shut down the listener. Unlike the database alert log, you can't delete the listener.log file while the listener is running. Not on NT anyway. Received on Fri Dec 08 2000 - 15:17:00 CST
