Hi all,

Its been ages since I've looked at this so I think its me being stupid, however if one of you folks could point out where, that'd be lovely Smile


I've got two instances of oracle on this PC for teting/messing around with. The second one is a recent addition and its causing me some connection headaches.


Both instances are running on the same physical PC (this one) and there is a single listener.

As I said, I have no doubt I've done something stupid, but any advice would be gratefully received, if you need anything else posted just say the word.

Thanks.

tnsnames.ora is missing and this is the starting point to investigate your problem.

ORA11GMK=
   (DESCRIPTION=
            (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=127.0.0.1)(Port=1521))
            (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=ORA11GMK))
)

ORA11GGG =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =(SID = ORA11GGG))
  )


I did note a couple of oddities, which I've altered to above, issue persists after restarting listener however.


Edit: Gut feel is its something I've not done with the ports.

Edit2: Correcting the port in the second entry to 1521 resolves it, however I had thought [clearly in error] that the different instances had to sit on different ports? Was that maybe just for enterprise manager?

Your entry ORA11GGG asks for listener on port 1522, your listener port is 1521 so one is listening to your request.

No they do not need to.

Now to find the damned place I read something like that for to get it cleared up in my mind!

Thanks for confirming (nicely) I was being thick though Very Happy


Edit: Can't find exact quote but it was definitely in regard to database control/enterprise manager needing multiple ports, not the instance.

Stupid aging memory.
