Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: ORA-12500 TNS listener failded to start a dedicated server proces
Is 'orcl' the name of the Database you are trying to connect to ?
Check in U'r $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora and listener.ora if
everything is fine ( Check if Listener is listening to the Correct
Database,ORACLE_HOME and ports are set Ok)
Do a lsnrctl status <Listener_name> and check to see if the Database is listed
in it's Services..
I hope you have installed the TCP/IP Protocol adapters for Net8...check this
with
$adapters
Ps: It is preferable to start the Listener first and then the Database..especially if MTS is configured...
