host name not resolved
 

I have a server (Red Hat 6.0) named XXServer with a static IP address. When I run
host XXServer
it replies that the host is not found.
JBoss is failing to start because it hits this problem.
All other network functions work well, including accessing other hosts.

hmm u need be some more specific..

give the output of these commands:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

and

also have you configured dns server on your xxserver...

this is to be answered ....

in between u can try making an entry in resolv.conf file under /etc..

hope it helps..

/etc/resolv.conf has two lines
nameserver <ip of nameserver>
nameserver <ip of alternative nameserver>

This server is not set up to do dns.

host or hostname issue? I am confused.

Please post output of

ofcorse ot wont work ...

you have to specify a **hostname or to configure a dns to do that...

for more help i'll prefer u should answer above requested outputs here ...as specified by a GURU user....above

The quick and dirty solution would be to add the servers real name and IP to /etc/hosts (Not best practice, but can be ok for labs or tests.)
Example 1
Example 2
Better would be to set up the server to resolve DNS and have the server name added to DNS so that the host name can be resolved by the DNS servers.
