I'm a software engineer with some experience on SQL Server but a newbie on Oracle.
I'm attempting to run dbca on a remote linux machine to reconfigure a database that was initially configured to idle with zero memory (so I'm told). Enterprise Manager is not configured properly and my listener.ora is as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = Myhost)
(PORT = 1521)
)
)
)
This database is not on port 1521, it's on port 15321. I can connect to it using SQL Developer by manually creating a connection with the correct port, etc.
I get the error in the title after I press finish in dbca. There is also a log file that is very long. How do I proceed to fix dbca? Ultimately I need to configure Enterprise Manager.

As far as I understand, there is a database on the machine. This database should register itself on the listener. It can do so when it knows where - on which port - the listener runs. In you case the listener is on port 15321. To enable the auto registration of the instance, you should make sure that the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter is filled with the correct port number in order to be able to contact the listener. For docu check Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1)
Now your database should be visible in the listener services list listener.ora should look like this - note the PORT =
