again network....

[hawaii]

Hi,

I read all the stuff about FQDN and network setup but somehow it seems I'm too stupid....I get the following errors:

Network check failed -- Hosts file is not configured with fully qualified domain name(FQDN)
Network check failed -- Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address
Network check failed -- Could not resolve host name 'scalix.localdomain' in DNS

Here my /etc/hosts:
-------------------
vi /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.111.50 scalix.homenet.de scalix

and some output:
-------------------
nslookup scalix
Server: 192.168.111.1
Address: 192.168.111.1#53

Name: scalix
Address: 192.168.111.50

-------------------
nslookup 192.168.111.50
Server: 192.168.111.1
Address: 192.168.111.1#53

50.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = scalix.homenet.de.

-------------------
hostname
scalix.localdomain

-------------------
hostname -f
hostname: Unknown device

-------------------
hostname -d
hostname: Unknown device

-------------------
host 192.168.111.50
50.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer scalix.homenet.de.

-------------------
host scalix
scalix has address 192.168.111.50

anyone an idea what the problem is?

Thank you and a nice sunday..

Hi,
You must either change your hostname to scalix.homenet.de or add the scalix.localdomain to your hosts file.

Sorry for the late reply. First of all thank you!

I changed my /etc/hosts to:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.111.50 scalix.homenet.de scalix.homenet.de
192.168.111.50 scalix.localdomain scalix.homenet.de

The entries in /etc/hosts for the DNS look like this:

192.168.111.50 scalix.homenet.de scalix.homenet.de
192.168.111.50 scalix.localdomain scalix.homenet.de

The output is now:

--------------
nslookup scalix.homenet.de
Server: 192.168.111.1
Address: 192.168.111.1#53

Name: scalix.homenet.de
Address: 192.168.111.50

--------------
nslookup 192.168.111.50
Server: 192.168.111.1
Address: 192.168.111.1#53

50.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = scalix.homenet.de.

--------------
hostname
scalix.localdomain

--------------
hostname -f
scalix.localdomain

--------------
hostname -d
localdomain

--------------
host 192.168.111.50
50.111.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer scalix.homenet.de.

--------------
host scalix.homenet.de
scalix.homenet.de has address 192.168.111.50

But I still get the following error messages:

Network check failed -- Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address
Network check failed -- IP address '192.168.111.50' associated with host name 'scalix.localdomain' in DNS cannot be confirmed as this host's IP address

Thank you.

Why bother with "scalix.localdomain". Why 2 lines with the same IP in /etc/hosts?

Make it simple:
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost #loopback requirement
192.168.111.50 scalix.homenet.de scalix #no more, no less

Your hostname MUST be ***scalix*** ONLY, not scalix.localdomain

/etc/resolv.conf:
search homenet.de
domain homenet.de
nameserver whatever1 (use the IP)
nameserver whatever2 (use the IP)

And your DNS entries in whatever1/whatever2 (which I assume are only for internal consumption) should resolve
192.168.111.50 into scalix.homenet.de
AND
scalix.homenet.de into 192.168.111.50

BTW: your DNS seems fine.

That's all

Thank you Jaime....you gave me the heads up!
I still had an old entry in /etc/sysconfig/network for the hostname, as I changed
only /etc/hosts but forgot about changing network as well.....

Installation is running fine now
