I am currently Running Oracle8i on an NT4 Server, and have installed a
trial version of Oracle 10G.

I am unable to communicate with the 10G database because I cannot
start the Listener (Port 1521 Being used By 8i).

Can anyone tell me how to configure Oracle10G to use a different Port?
- I can create a new listener using 1521, but all connections still
try to use 1521 (and Fail!).

TIA

Edit the tnsnames.ora file in the %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin folder of the
10g installation to run on another port.
You may also want to compare your listener.ora files from each
installation.

Another problem i had was with connecting to my primary db after installing
another Oracle product. This had to do with the order of the environment
variables....
