Network check on Installation of 9.2.1-eval on fedora 3

[toby]

Hi,

the logs tell me that the /etc/hosts doesn`t contain a FQDN, but it does. Here is what the logs say:

ERROR:merlin:Operation failed: Network check failed -- Hosts file is not configured with fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
ERROR:merlin:Operation failed: Network check failed -- Invalid FQDN 'scalix_test.pentos.com'
DEBUG:root:This host has the following IP addresses: ['192.168.0.222']
DEBUG:root:This machine's host name 'scalix_test.pentos.com' and IP address '192.168.0.222' is set in DNS correctly

Here is my /etc/hosts-file:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.222 scalix_test.pentos.com scalix

As the scalix-logs say the dns entries are okay, too. I can dig my box with no probs. Network is working fine, too - I am writing this on scalix_test.
Even if I put a really FQDN (with a dot at the end) there it won`t work.
It doesn`t work - no matter what`s in the /etc/hosts.
I also read the posting with the LANG=C ./installscript, but that doesn`t work either. My language is:

[root@scalix_test scalix-9.2.1-eval]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

But I have a german keyboard ...
Tryed to set the $HOSTNAME on different values - same result - your installer really reads the /etc/hosts ;)

A solution would be nice - I already spent too much time on that. And I start to have doubts on me.

Could you please provide us with the output of the ifconfig -a and hostname commands? I think this might be helpful.

thx,
Florian.

This is what hostname says:

[root@scalix_test ~]# hostname
scalix_test.pentos.com

And thats form ifconfig -a:

Hello,

hostnames cannot have an underscore character. Please rename your machine to something like scalix-test and you will be fine.

Cheers,

Sascha.

Thanks! Works fine now :-)
And all that due to a simple underscore ...
