Re: lsnrctl can't start tcp_listener

I was getting this message as well; it would never come up on the <default> port
of 1521. The last portion of my listener.ora file is:

LISTENER=
(
:data for my listener
)

 STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF
#

Remove all lines after your listener definition and the (#) except for those shown above.
