Re: AIX Listener error

And then there's this from Metalink 315720.1 ( Oracle Net Services - Version: 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.0.2 This problem can occur on any platform.) Symptoms

Unable to start an Oracle10g R1 (or R2) TNS Listener on Unix:

For example:

$ lsnrctl start

    LSNRCTL for HPUX: Version 10.1.0.4.0 - Production on 01-JUL-2005 10:16:59

    Copyright (c) 1991, 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.     Starting /db02/product/10.1/bin/tnslsnr: please wait...     TNS-12537: TNS:connection closed

     TNS-12560: TNS:proto    adapter error
      TNS-00507: Connection closed
       HPUX Error: 29: Illegal seek

Changes Verify the user attempting to start the TNS Listener process has read permissions on the /etc/hosts file, and that this file contains the localhost entry:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
