You can use the netstat command to check the port usage.<\/li>\n<li>Check the firewall settings: If using firewall software, make sure the listener&#8217;s port is allowed through the firewall.<\/li>\n<li>Check the network connection: ensure that the network connection is working properly, you can try pinging the database server to confirm that the network is clear.<\/li>\n<li>Check the environment variables to make sure that ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are correctly configured.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If none of the above methods work, it is advisable to consult the official Oracle documentation or seek help from Oracle&#8217;s official technical support.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More tutorials<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/what-things-should-be-considered-when-starting-the-oracle-listener\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What things should be considered when starting the Oracle listener?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/what-is-the-method-for-setting-up-the-oracle-listener-configuration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is the method for setting up the Oracle listener configuration?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/what-are-the-reasons-why-the-oracle-listener-fails-to-start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are the reasons why the Oracle listener fails to start?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/how-to-regenerate-network-card-configuration-files-in-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to regenerate network card configuration files in Linux?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 cLBplk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silicloud.com\/blog\/what-is-the-method-for-reloading-the-network-card-in-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What is the method for reloading the network interface card in Linux?<span class=\"sc-gswNZR eASTkv\">(Opens in a new browser tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Oracle listener does not respond when starting, it may be due to various reasons.
