ALIAS localhost.localdomain ?

[geronimo27]

I initially had a successful server running on win32, then switch my server box os to red hat 7.2, and got that server up and running fine.

 

Although, being new to linux, I did something to my OS which caused me to have to reinstall. Afte the reinstall, I set up jk2 server just as before, except now when I run it, it attempts to set my ip as the one I define in my command line, it finds my computer hostname, but then I see the following three lines:

 

ALIAS localhost.localdomain

ALIAS localhost

127.0.0.1

 

and now my server doesn't show in the jk2 in-game browser. I realize 127.x.x.x example above is my computer, but where are the alias lines coming from?

 

The only thing I did different in my linux install was to set the firewall initially to high level instead of low, but before i ran the jk2 server, i used gnome-lokkit to change the firewall back to low.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the server able to reach the net? Are you using a router (external)?

[geronimo27]

yes, using external router. same set up as with previous linux and win32 installations.

 

and also am able to reach the net - can browse via mozilla and can also connet to rhn via up2date.

Can you paste the whole startup spam from the console? It would be useful.

actually what does your /etc/hosts file look like?

 

jk2 reads the hosts file to determine the hostname.

 

if you haven't edited this to get rid of the redhat defaults, do it

 

you'll want it to look something like this:

 

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.1.1 server.dns.com ; change accordingly
