Oracle error.

[Soumyen]

In my hope PC I have Windows XP, I am going to install Oracle 9i,

Installation completed successfully except 'Agent Configuration
Assistant' failed.

When I am trying to start the listener services from the Windows
Service Utility, i am getting the following error for couple of
services namely --
OracleOraHome92Agent,OracleOraHome92HTTPServer,OracleOraHome92PagingServer
OracleOraHome92TNSListener etc.

Error:
The Oracle92TNSListener on Local Computer Started and then Stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alert service

If i delete all my previous listener services from oracle through "Net
Manager", although these listener services are showing in the "
Window's Service window" --why?

When i am trying to run listener from windows command prompt, getting
the following error

TNSLSNR for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
System parameter file is E:\oracle\ora92\network\admin\listener.ora
Log messages written to E:\oracle\ora92\network\log\listener.log
Error listening on: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=home-8bdc697937)(P
ORT=1521)))
TNS-12546: TNS:permission denied
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00516: Permission denied
32-bit Windows Error: 13: Permission denied

Listener failed to start. See the error message(s) above...

How to proceed?

Hi Soumyen,

Deleting through NetManager will only remove the entries from
listener.ora, it is not going to remove it from windows service
manager. To delete a window server you need to use this command:

sc delete <Service Name>

For example:
sc delete Oracle81TNSListener

It seems like port 1521 is occupied by a previous installation of
Oracle. To verify give this command on command prompt:

telnet localhost 1521

If your screen goes blank, that means port 1521 is occupied. You can
exit the blank screen by pressing Ctrl + ] (right common square
bracket), which will bring you to telnet prompt, from where you can
type exit. On the other hand if port 1521 is available then you'll
get a message like this:

C:\>telnet localhost 1521
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 1521: Connect failed

You need to stop all the old listener services, only then you'll be
able to start listener from windows command prompt.

Hope this helps
