TNS-01251: Cannot set trace/log directory under ADR

Solution :

If the parameter DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_listenername is set to ON in the listener.ora file, the trace and log file should be located under ADRBASE_listenername location. If ADR is enabled, all listener related trace file and log file stored in under ADR base location. If you don’t want to store there, you can disable ADR.

In listener.ora file

DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_LISTENER = OFF

reload the listener.

LSNRCTL> reload
