Oracle listener not running and won't start

Question

I am getting the following errors while from the lsnrctl status command:

C:\\Users\\pna105>lsnrctl stat

 LSNRCTL for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.         


        

Answer 1

In my case the listener service would not start because it was set to listen to a VPN connection as well to other serveral interfaces.

Once I connected to the VPN, it just started.

However, @Imre's trick with "lsnrctl start" put me to the right track.
