ORA-12541: TNS: no listener
Symptom:
When trying to connect to Oracle the following error is generated:
ORA-12541: TNS: no listener
This error appears to be the same as the error
ORA-12224. Although it may also indicate that the listener
has not been started on the server.
These notes have been tested under Oracle 7.3.4 and Oracle 8.1.5 under Windows NT.
This page represents one page of many pages of notes I made whilst working with Oracle 7 through to 10i. I now no longer work with Oracle databases, but hope that these notes will continue to be of benefit to others.
