Debian /etc/hosts ERROR

[mjfleck2000]

I am having a problem installing, under Debian, the new GA release zcs-3.0.0_GA_156.

Running the install.sh (as root) gives the following error:

ERROR: Installation can not proceed. Please fix your /etc/hosts file to contain:






my /etc/hosts contains:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
216.255.199.66 niei.icehouse.net niei

I tried moving 127.0.0.1 to the second position but that did not help.

the hostname command returns: niei

Is that the entire file? Did you use space or tab to seperate the names?

[mjfleck2000]

That was not the entire hosts file. Debain adds ipv6 compatible addressing. Reading in to your question (is that the entire file), I removed everything except the two lines above. Same error. I then removed the localhost entery leaving only the niei entry, and the install now works.
