In database.yml I have localhost:1522. I am also invoking: ssh -C -q -f -N -l root -L 1522:74.121.71.3:1521 <http://74.121.70.3:1521> eesdev.somebody.net <http://eesdev.missiondata.net> Finally, my $ORACLE_HOME points to the right spot, and PATH=$PATH:/bin So everything is set up to hit the oracle server through port 1522. This ORA-12541, the misconfigured oracle listener (I assume on my local, which has already been started) in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora appears as: # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /opt/app/oracle/product/11/db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools. ORCL (DESCRIPTION (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl) ) ) Any idea what I should append to this so as to get the listener to work properly with the port forwarding here?
