RE: Listener (Windows) will not start - It will now!

Chris,
I'm glad it worked, but...

Word of caution: Setting the ORACLE_HOME to 10g/9i multi-homed machine could cause issues with 9i environment and is not "required" to get things working.

I have never had to set ORACLE_HOME as an ENV system variable to get "it" to work even when multi-homed.

For ease of use, I do have a bat file that I use to launch the cmd prompt for each environment.

Example:
SET ORACLE_BASE=c:\oracle
SET ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\ora92
SET PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;C:\windows\system32;c:\cygwin\bin;c:\gnuwin32; CD C:\oracle\admin

I'd check your path. Make sure the default home for your system is first in the path. When multi-homed, I always have the 9i home first in the path. If the 10g listener create failed, you may have had 9i in the path first.

Probably not work fussing over, but if things break again the env system path might be the issue.

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the their input. The "fix" was to set ORACLE_HOME via Control Panel - System - Environment Variables, not just in the "local environment". Don't quite understand this but at least I have a 10g R2 listener
now.

Thanks again,

Chris
