About Port 1521

Port 1521 is the default port for:

Common Oracle Database Connection Issues

"ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"

Oracle Listener is not running or not configured properly:

Solutions:

  • Start Oracle Listener: lsnrctl start
  • Check listener configuration: lsnrctl status
  • Verify tnsnames.ora file configuration
  • Check listener.ora file settings
  • Restart Oracle services

"ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested"

Service name or SID is not registered with the listener:

Solutions:

  • Check if database is running: sqlplus / as sysdba
  • Verify service name in tnsnames.ora
  • Check database registration: lsnrctl services
  • Restart database instance
  • Check listener.ora configuration

"ORA-01017: invalid username/password"

Authentication failed when connecting to Oracle:

Solutions:

  • Verify username and password
  • Check if account is locked: SELECT username, account_status FROM dba_users;
  • Reset password: ALTER USER username IDENTIFIED BY newpassword;
  • Unlock account: ALTER USER username ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
  • Check user privileges and roles
