I was not able to start my oracle instance today. The start and stop server scripts dint show any error, instead they said server started/stopped without any problem. Windows System event log had a error entry saying “The OracleXETNSListener service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 8 time(s).”when I run lsnrctl start I found the issue.D:\Documents and Settings\pandian> lsnrctl startLSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on 23-NOV-2008 01:08:40Copyright (c) 1991, 2005, Oracle.

See the error message(s) above...There is the issue. I renamed my host name. So listener is not able to start. I edited the listener.ora found at oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN folder. I changed the host to localhost. It is working now!
