Re: Cannot AutoStart Oracle Net8 Listener (lsnrctl)

I am not sure - but check the env variables ( ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) in the unix session you are executing the "lsnrctl start" command. Also, based on the error spewed out - I feel that the listener.ora file is incorrectly set. If you are running anything 8.1.5 and above try not to define your own listener.ora ( unless you have specific reasons like dbsmp support etc ).

JFYI -
> oerr TNS 1103

01103, 00000, "Protocol specific component of the address is incorrectly specified"

// *Cause:  The ADDRESS used to contact the listener is not correctly specified.
// This error occurs because the address fails to specify the destination
// of the listener. The address is well formed (for example, there are no
// missing parentheses) but it is missing a protocol specific component. For
// example, this is the error returned when the HOST component is missing from
// a TCP/IP address string.
// *Action: Edit the ADDRESS in LISTENER.ORA to include the required
// protocol-specific keywords.  For more information about the keywords
// required by different protocol adapters, see the Oracle operating system
// specific documentation for your platform.

HTH,
Vinayak
