I was setting up SOA 12c environment on my personal laptop and thought of giving it a try with oracle 11g XE database. Mind it that Oracle XE database is not officially supported for SOA 12c. Though the installation of XE database was damn easy, setting up of remote DB connection (using tns method) left me quite a bit frustrated.
Issue:
The initial connection after the XE setup using tns method was successful, but once I restarted my laptop, subsequent tns connections were failing complaining about listener unavailability. On restarting the listener I received the error shown above.
What didn't work?
I tired many things, like assigning ugo+rwx to oracle home, starting the listener using “sudo service oracle-xe start” but none yield any good results.
Solution:
It was after some trials I realized, that to have listener (and DB) running properly, following must be ensured:
a. “lsrnctl start” should be executed by root user only
and not with oracle (oracle software owner) user
b. “sqlplus> startup” should be executed by oracle user
only
