[SOLVED] upgrade failing because of /etc/hosts?

[Phloyd]

This doesn't make much sense. Here is my /etc/hosts file:


I have tried removing the comment lines and playing around with the spacing of the individual entries, but I continue to get this message whenever I run the upgrade script:

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



Where is the ip address of the host,
is the FULLY QUALIFIED host name, and
is the (optional) hostname-only portion

This message is being thrown due to some perl in the utilfunc.sh script on lines 368-371 that I don't know how to read.

Post the output of the following (run on the zombra server):

host `hostname`  <-- backticks not single quotes
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig qtrailer.com mx
dig qtrailer.comany

I assume you're behind a NAT router & have a Split DNS set-up?

Not really sure why the questions here. The script is failing due to the localhost entry.

[Phloyd]

cat /etc/resolv.conf

The error message is poorly written.
It should state that ALL entries in the /etc/hosts file need to have FQDN's.

For the simple reason that I wanted to see which IP you were running the server on, you failed to mention that in your first post, and whether the other required information was correct.
