Symptoms

You are using the NETCA response file to create the listener,but it does not change the port number even though you have edited the scripts to change from port 1521.

### STEPS TO REPRODUCE ###
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/netca /silent /responsefile /app/oracle/response_files/netca.rsp

The response file netca.rsp has the following entries

LOG_FILE=""/oracle10gHome/network/tools/log/netca.log""

[oracle.net.ca]

INSTALLED_COMPONENTS={"server","net8","javavm"}


INSTALL_TYPE=""typical""


LISTENER_NUMBER=1


LISTENER_NAMES={"LISTENER"}


LISTENER_PROTOCOLS={"TCP;1526"}


LISTENER_START=""LISTENER""


NAMING_METHODS={"TNSNAMES","ONAMES","HOSTNAME"}


NSN_NUMBER=1


NSN_NAMES={"EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA"}


NSN_SERVICE = {"PLSExtProc"}


NSN_PROTOCOLS={"TCP;HOSTNAME;1526"}

After the listener creation you see that listener was created on default port 1521
