Default [SOLVED] trouble with /etc/hosts

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. I tried to install zimbra 6.0.3. It gave me the following message.
Quote:
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
Here's my hosts file...

Quote:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.210.167.195 mail.domain.tv
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Why isn't it working?

Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

The 10.210.167.195 line should have: 10.210.167.195 mail.domain.tv mail

Thanks for the info. The host name didn't match. I'm in the middle of an upgrade. Can't wait to try 6.0.3....
