Error

SQL> startup
ORA-00119: invalid specification for system parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
ORA-00130: invalid listener address '(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=RAC1.oracle.com)(PORT=1521))'


Cause
Difference in the name of the host-name specified in /etc/hosts file or listener file.

Solution
When you change the name of the system, you must change in hosts file of system also.
1. Location of host file:

Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Linux: /etc/hosts


2. Edit the host file.

[oracle@oracle bin]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Change to
[oracle@oracle bin]$ cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 RAC1.oracle.com RAC1
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6


3. Check the ping command name is resolved.

Ping RAC1


4. Check the Environmental Setting like oracle_home, tns_admin , path etc.

5. Startup the database.
