Change Oracle port from port 8080

Question

How do I change Oracle from port 8080? My Eclipse is using 8080, so I can't use that.

Answer 1

Oracle (database) can use many ports. when you install the software it scans for free ports and decides which port to use then.

The database listener defaults to 1520 but will use 1521 or 1522 if 1520 is not available. This can be adjusted in the listener.ora files.

The Enterprise Manager, web-based database administration tool defaults to port 80 but will use 8080 if 80 is not available.
