Hi,
Sometimes You can get “TNS-00508: No such protocol adapter ” error.
Details of error are as follows.
TNS-00508: No such protocol adapter
When I run lsnrctl status, lsnrctl start or lsnrctl stop, I got the following error.
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=msdbadm01)(PORT=1521)))
TNS-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00508: No such protocol adapter..
To solve this error, run the relink all as follows.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin relink all
Then try to start again. It will work fine.
Sometimes you may run the lsnrctl status command with different OS user instead of Oracle, in this time you can get this error.
