ORA-00130: invalid listener address, configure failure

Question

In Slackware distributive after installing 11.2 package tried configuring as

sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.oracle-xe configure

CloneRmanRestore.log is fine and in cloneDBCreation.log has some errors

...
    ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
    ORA-00130: invalid listener address '(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=black)(PORT=1521))'
...

My hostname -i and hostname -f give

127.0.0.1

and

black

results.

tnsping black:1521 is OK.

Here is listener.ora, tnsname.ora and ${ORACLE_HOME}/config/scripts/init.ora

#  SID_LIST_LOCAL_LISTENER =
#  (SID_LIST =
#    (SID_DESC =
#      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
#      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe)
#      (PROGRAM = extproc)
#    )
#  )
# use LOCAL_LISTENER instead default LISTENER
LOCAL_LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
#       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = black)(PORT = 1521))
    )
  )

DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)

tnsname.ora

    XE =
  (DESCRIPTION =
#    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = black)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
    )
  )

EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
    )
  )

init.ora

    ...
*.local_listener="(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=127.0.0.1) (PORT=1521))"
local_listener="(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=127.0.0.1) (PORT=1521))"

I've tried a static listener as in default setting, then tried dynamic service registration by commenting in listener.ora and redefining default LISTENER to LOCAL_LISTENER. Applying

lsnrctl status LOCAL_LISTENER

after failed configuring gives

...

Try following steps it should help to resolve your problem.

--Login as sysdba

$sqlplu / as sysdba

--Creating pfile from current spfile

SQL>create pfile='/home/oracle/mypfile.ora' from spfile;

--Keep a backup copy just for your refernece.

$cp /home/oracle/mypfile.ora /home/oracle/mypfile.ora.backup

Now, open newly created pfile, /home/oracle/mypfile.ora and remove local_listenr='listener_' and save it.

--shutdown the database

SQL>Shutdown

--startup database using new pfile

SQL>startup nomount pfile='/home/oracle/mypfile.ora'

--create server spfile from pfile

SQL>create spfile from pfile;

--shutdown database, if already in shutdown then it's fine.

SQL>Shutdown

--start the database.

SQL>startup
