Your listener.ora is not complete.
First hit in google took me here
http://www.mike-devlin.com/oracle/listener_ora.htm

You have to define the listener and associate the SID with it.

Hi,

I believe the extra information in your link is optional, and that the most basic form of the listener.ora would be:
ht
tp://ww
w.orafaq.co
m/wiki/Listener.ora

Please advise, or let me know if I misunderstand.

Thanks.

listener.ora does not need to exist for V10+

The Oracle listener will start & run just fine without any listener.ora file existing

When I rename my listener.ora file I get the following error for the "lsnrctl start" command:

TNSLSNR for Linux: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
Log messages written to /oracle/diag/tnslsnr/owcvm/listener/alert/log.xml
Error listening on: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00512: Address already in use
Linux Error: 98: Address already in use

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

-The HOST= entry is blank - is that OK?
-Also, it reports that Address 1521 is already in use, but that port does not show up in a netstat.
-"lsnrctl stop" and "lsnrctl stat" still output the following:

Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521))
TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00511: No listener
Linux Error: 111: Connection refused

How can the port be in use if there is nothing listening on it?

You did not CUT & PASTE all at once but that is OK.

I need more details. Please do below & post results back here

uname -a
cat /etc/hostname

I'll be away for about 90 minutes.

Before (and now) the final commmand does not execute with all the rest. It is written to the line, but I have to press enter to get it to execute.

>Both ping commands did not get any response
This indicates basic OS networking misconfiguration.
ping must work before listener has a chance of working.
Obtain assistance from local sysadmin/network wizard

Is any type of OS virtualization involved?

Yes, I am running this as a an image through VMWare Server 2.0

I used ifconfig to check the virtual ip address, and changed the host file to reflect the result. Now, I am able to ping both owcvm and owcvm.localdomain and start the listener - but I receive a troubling message: The listener supports no services.
Is this a problem, or possibly just how this is particular listener is configured to run?

lsnrctl service results are at the bottom, but the reason I think there may still be an issue is that I receive the following when I try to start up the Weblogic server (is this something you can help with?):
