 |
|
Hello,
I recently changed domain names, and all of a sudden I cannot resolve localhost !!! It seems everything in my /etc/hosts file is being ignored. Is there anything obvious I am missing?
Some quick configuration files:
| Code: |
root@squeeden etc # cat /etc/hosts
localhost 127.0.0.1
#squeeden.dyndns.org 127.0.0.1
|
| Code: |
root@squeeden etc # cat hostname dnsdomainname
squeeden
ne1.client2.attbi.com
|
| Code: |
root@squeeden etc # cat resolv.conf
domain ne1.client2.attbi.com
nameserver 204.127.202.19
nameserver 216.148.227.79
search ne1.client2.attbi.com
|
| Code: |
root@squeeden etc # ping localhost.ne1.client2.attbi.com
ping: unknown host localhost.ne1.client2.attbi.com
root@squeeden etc # ping localhost
ping: unknown host localhost
root@squeeden etc # ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.094 ms

My /etc/hosts lists the IP first.
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 localhost |
