/etc/hosts

[ehsan]

what should i have inside /etc/hosts


i have just this line :
xx.xx.xx.xx (ip) mydomain.mydomain.com (server )

apache failed, Bind failed, MySql,proftpd..


Attempting to restart httpd
Looking up localhost localhost Unable to locate remote host localhost. Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can\'t access startfile http://localhost/server-status httpd status httpd did not return a status report

You should have

hostname = the result of the hostname command
shorthostname = everything before the first . in the hostname


xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(ip of server) hostname shorthostname
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain

Is it
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
or
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
?

Does it matter?

Thanks,
Apache comes up now,
but dns does not yet
which files should i check for DNS ?
i\'ve checked /var/named , /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf...
they seems to looks good, what else should i check ?

thanks again

Check the /etc/resolv.conf file

Also, check the /var/log/messages file right after you try to start Bind to see what errors if any are produced.

inside /etc/resolve.conf ->
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP)
