Cannot pass the Network Check, please help

[Neoseifer]

Hi, I can't find an answer in the forums to my problem.
I'm trying to install Scalix CE on CentOS 4.

During the setup, the Network Test doesn't pass. The error message is :

Network Check Failed - Could not find a host name in DNS that matches an IP address.
Network Check Failed - IP address xx.xx.xx.xx (My external IP) associated with hostname "mx1.mydomain.fr" in DNS cannot be confirmed as this host IP address

I don't understand how to configure my network/dns entries.

- My DNS provider is Amen.
- My Scalix server is behind a router/firewall but is the DMZ.
- In CentOS, I configure the hostname as "mx1.mydomain.fr"

I set the following DNS entries for mydomain.fr :

- MX : mx1.mydomain.fr --> xx.xx.xx.xx (My external IP)

I set the reverse-dns of my external IP to "mx1.mydomain.fr".

What is wrong in this configuration ?
Can someone help me to fix this ?

Thank you

Sylvain.

Nobody can help me ?

I just watch the video on netometer. All that is done in this video is ok for me, I don't understand why the Network Check does not pass

go into your /etc/hosts file and make sure that it looks like this

Code: Select all

192.168.x.x          mx1.mydomain.fr

You want your local IP of the server in there.
