Oracle 11g R2 on CentOS 6.3, and Net Configuration Assistant

Question

This is my first time installing Oracle 11g R2 on Linux. I followed all the instructions in the Oracle documentation, but in the installation process, the Net Configuration Manager is failed. I continued the process, and after it finished, I couldn't connect to sqlplus.

tnsnames.ora

 )

Output of lsnrctl status

TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
 TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
 TNS-00511: No listener
 Linux Error: 111: Connection refused

I used ./netca to reconfigure the listener, but the program told me that the port is in use. I deleted it and added a new one, but the same warning that port is in use. When I kill the process that uses this port (1521). and reconfigure the listener, the same message appears that the port is used.

When I run lsnrctl status, I get:

Services Summary...
Service "orcl.localhost" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "orclXDB.localhost" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orcl", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

But when I use sqlplus and enter user-name SYSTEM and its password, I get:

ERROR: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

_{Community Wiki answer containing the solution originally added to the question by the author.}

Finally I found the solution: I didn't change permission to be owned by the oracle user and oinstall group for the database dir in which the Oracle software is. I think there are some scripts or programs related to listener and the oracle user could not run it.
