Assigned to the owner of component It's September and this bug isn't fixed yet! can you attach a copy of /etc/hosts? The only time I've seen this is when the machine advertised a hostname that didnt map to any ip address it knows about. since theres no activity on this, and the only way that error can occur is with an invalid hostname, I'm closing this bug. Current versions of the code will just assume the ip for the default hostname is 127.0.0.1, since it's impossible to tell otherwise with an invalid hostname. |
