Installation Network Check Error

I am trying to install Scalix Community 11 and I keep get a Network Check Error.

Host file is not configure with FQDN
Could not find host name in DNS that matches an IP address
IP address associated with host name 'localhost.localdomain' is '127.0.0.1'
127.0.0.1 line contains fully qualified server hostname (localhost.localdomain) in /etc/hosts please remove it

(For the heck of it I ran it again removing the 127 line and errored tell me to add it back)


Here is my hosts files:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.141 exchange.studiolbk.com exchange

(Yes those are tabs instead of spaces)

When I execute hostname -f it returns localhost.localdomain.

I have read all the other posts on this issue and have not been able to resolve it

Hi!

Make sure that the forward and reverse lookup work and also that ifconfig command show
both eth0 and lo interfaces activated.

Check if in the file /etc/sysconfig/network, that you have a property HOSTNAME that has
server FQDN value set.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for your help. You assistance pointed me in the right direction, i was using eth1 for the install and eth0 was a bad nic. So after I removed eth0 and changed my host name it worked.
