FC4 Install - cant pass NETWORK CHECK DNS

[FMS]

I just installed Fedora Core 4
And I'm trying to install Scalix but it stops on NETWORK CHECK

I did the DNS stuff like host and reverse.
If I ask:
nslookup scalix.hy.com.br my DNS says: 200.203.101.29
nslookup 200.203.10129 my DNS says: scalix.hy.com.br

But he installation insist to say:
NETWORK CHECK FAILS

2006-01-24 20:46:35,790 ERROR Operation failed: Network check failed -- Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address
2006-01-24 20:46:35,791 ERROR Operation failed: Network check failed -- IP address '200.203.101.29' associated with host name 'scalix.hy.com.br' in DNS cannot be confirmed as this host's IP address

In /etc/hosts I put:
::1 scalix.hy.com.br localhost
200.203.101.29 scalix.hy.com.br scalix
127.0.0.1 scalix.hy.com.br localhost
200.203.101.29 scalix.hy.com.br.

Please... someone have any ideas???

This happened to me as well when I was logged in as a user and did an su to root for the install.

I logged out and logged back in as root and the problem was solved.

Hi. I'm not sure what the first entry in your /etc/hosts file is for, but I would recommend you remove it. In fact, your /etc/hosts file has some other problems as well. Based on what you posted, it should look like:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
200.203.101.29 scalix.hy.com.br scalix


If you're still having problems, type:

ifconfig

on your system and post the results here.

Thanks,

The problem still persists :-(

I just installed FC4 and I am loggen in as root
My /etc/hosts now is:

[root@scalix etc]# cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
200.203.101.29 scalix.hy.com.br scalix

[root@scalix etc]# ifconfig

May be this can be related to my problem: I found this machine has two ethernet adpters
because I did ifconfig eth1 :

[root@scalix etc]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet Endereco de HW 00:0C:6E:8B:CA:0D

Thank you in advance...

The problem looks to be related to the fact that your native language environment is Brazilian Portuguese ( I'm guessing because of the .br domain )

Currently, our installer is written to work with English and German so we haven't tested in any other language environment.

However, you can work around this by running the installer as

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ./scalix-community-installer
