Morpheus is Musci City's napster-like utility for sharing files, primarily, MP3's and videos. My advice is to use Lopster or Gnapster. Having a system which knows how to execute a command like "uname -a" would also help.

Hi,

I don't know what Morpheous is, but have you tried "netstat -an" to find out which ports really are in use.

For example on my notebook:

rem no listener running

H:\>netstat -an | find "1521"

H:\>
H:\>lsnrctl start

rem and the listener output was here.

The command completed successfully

H:\>netstat -an | find "1521"
TCP 0.0.0.0:1521 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING H:\>

so after listener was running I have something listening on port 1521.

Does your winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services file get updated by Morpheous? If so, maybe it will tell you what ports are used.

When you try to start the listener service what gets written into the listener log file?

HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Hi,

Unfortunatelly my Oracle runs under Windows Nt, so I have no inetd.conf :-(

At 17:20 2001.11.25. -0800, you wrote:

Look in your /etc/services or inetd.conf file.

It sounds like Morpheous still has a listener attached to the port and you need to remove the reverence to 1521. If inetd.conf needs editing you will need to send a kill -1 to the inetd process to re read the inetd.conf

Cheers

Subject: Morpheus killed my Oracle! Help!

Hi,

I've installed Morpheus.
Right after that I couldn't attach to Oracle ( 8.1i under Windows Nt), because the 1521 port was already used.
(that's why the listener couldn't start)

I uninstalled Morpheus but the port is still used. I've tried other ports but every one seems to be used.

Thank you in advance
