Can not start OracleTNSListener and OracleAgent
hello everyone,
I have recently installed Oracle9i (9.2.0.1) on a Windows 2000 server. Before installing the latest patch, everything was fine and all services were up and running.
After installing the patch to upgrade to Oracle 9.2.0.4. I could not longer start the Oracle9iTNSListener and the Oracle9iAgent. I have not created a dB instance yet as I was about to so and now I can't. would anyone have an idea as to what may be wrong? many thanks!!.

What is the error you are getting when you try to start it up? Does it just time out? Have you looked at the log file in the listener directory to see if there are any errors there?
Without some more specifics from you, it is difficult to trouble shoot this. Oracle9.2.0.4 certainly works on Windows2000 - I have that combination. Have you tried rebooting? If you try to start the Oracle service from a DOS prompt, what happens? The syntax is:
net start [service_name]
For the listener, it is:
lsnrctl start
or:
lsnrctl status
or:
lsnrctl stop
net start [service_name]
For the listener, it is:
lsnrctl start
or:
lsnrctl status
or:
lsnrctl stop

oh, sorry, ok, here's what happens:
the service just times out
I tried the Net Start and still times out
when I try to run the Oracle commands (any command), I get an error that says some information is missing from dynamic library Oranls9.dll. I don't know much about this file and what it does. I hope some of this information is useful.

I'm not familiar with that Ora*.dll file. Have you tried starting the listener from a DOS prompt? Have you rebooted since installing the patch?
ASKER
yes..I rebooted multiple times...and I did try the
lsnrctl start
lsnrctl status
from the DOS prompt...and still nothing...I am beginnig to wonder if the upgrade process went wrong. I think I'll try to reinstall it or something...and the first thing I upgraded was the Universal installer, so it had no reason to complain...I'll try again...

well, the response when I ran the "lsnrctl status" command was a pop up and it said that some information is missing from dynamic library Oranls9.dll. and now I can not reproduce the error message because the network admin wiped out the server and starterd over. The server was new and we were trying to install 9i. I will try the entire install process again and upgrade and I will post any results I obtain. Thank you for your help.
