Try starting the listener without listener.ora file (temporary rename it
to *.bak for example). If it works then you probably encountered a
network / nameresolving problem

Subject: Listener (Windows) will not start

Hi,

Any help with the following much appreciated:

A new 10g listener on Windows fails to start:

D:\OraDBA\Admin\APEXCM\Scripts>lsnrctl start listener_apexcm

LSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on
12-JUN-2007
13:41:39

Copyright (c) 1991, 2006, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Starting tnslsnr: please wait...

Failed to start service, error 0.
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

The Windows service exists and the listener also fails to start when
trying to start via the Windows Service. There are no errors in the
Event Viewer and no listener log or trace files exist.

The listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files are:

LISTENER_APEXCM =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = UKLON213) (PORT = 1550) )
  )
SID_LIST_LISTENER_APEXCM =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = APEXCM)
      (ORACLE_HOME = d:\orahome\ora1020)
      (SID_NAME = APEXCM)
    )
  )

LOG_DIRECTORY_LISTENER_APEXCM = D:\OraHome\ORA1020\network\log
LOG_FILE_LISTENER_APEXCM = LISTENER_APEXCM.log TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER =
USER



# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File:

# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to #

Versions:
Windows 2003 SP1
Oracle 10.2.0.3 Standard Edition

A default listener, port 1521, running Oracle 9.2 Enterprise Edition
already exists.

BTW I'm not currently in a position to re-boot the server.

Thanks for any help,
