Dear All,
I am getting quite desperate, have never experienced anything like this before. I tried to install an openexchange server on a debian stable and in the process, I need to start mysql. After some investigation, I believe the reason is mysql cannot resolve localhost. So first things first, I then do
I get
Code:
ping: unknown host localhost
Now of course I look at my /etc/hosts
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
# 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
I have disabled bind9 and tried all possible and impossible versions of /etc/hosts, but this time I am really lost. It appears as if /etc/hosts is not used in the resolution???
Any ideas very much appreciated!
Cheers
Michael
