typically, in your /etc/hosts file (as far as I have learnt it anyway) |
| 19 |
you would leave the 127.0.0.1 line just with localhost. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Then put your FQDN, as well as your Shortened-domain-name on your "real |
| 22 |
ip address" line: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
$ cat /etc/hosts |
| 25 |
127.0.0.1 localhost |
| 26 |
172.16.0.52 orpheus orpheus.pcorp.com.au |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So, looking at one of your previous posts: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
10 #127.0.0.1 localhost |
| 31 |
11 127.0.0.1 hawat.thufir.invalid arrakis localhost |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
(line 10 being ignored because it's commented) when you say "look for |
| 34 |
localhost", what is localhost? it's not even in the hosts file, so |
| 35 |
nobody knows how to get there! |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I think this is what's happening anyway. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
At least you have it working. I am curious though, are |
| 40 |
"hawat.thufir.gmail.com" and "arrakis" both names for your machine? |
