information provided for listener is currently in use by another software - Virtualbox


I know this is a common problem that I have come across many time, while installing oracle software on Virtual machine  >>  Linux (Guest OS). I thought of sharing this info as this might help others to ..

Problem / Error :

I was trying to install oracle software on virtual box. I keep getting this error information provided for listener is currently in use by another software.

(or) 

Port you have provided xxxx (1523) is being used by another program.







Solution : 

Step 1 : Make sure you login as Root user.
Step 2 : make sure your valid ip address  in   >>    /etc/hosts
Step 3 : Make sure no other program is using listener port   >> netstat -ntap | grep 1521


In my case initially it had wrong ip address in the /etc/hosts  file.

ORACLE FAL_CLIENT and FAL_SERVER explained

FAL_CLIENT and FAL_SERVER are initialization parameters used to configure log gap detection and resolution at the standby database side of a physical database configuration. This functionality is provided by log apply services and is used by the physical standby database to manage the detection and resolution of archived redo logs. FAL_CLIENT and FAL_SERVER only need to be defined in the initialization parameter file for the standby database(s). It is possible; however, to define these two parameters in the initialization parameter for the primary database server to ease the amount of work that would need to be performed if the primary database were required to transition its role. Sample setup: In Primary site: FAL_SERVER=STANDBY FAL_CLIENT=PRIMARY In Standby site: FAL_SERVER=PRIMARY FAL_CLIENT=STANDBY
