I suspect your hosts file or other DNS resolution is not working quite the way
you think it does. Can you ping the various host names from the relevant
places,
e.g. can you ping localhost from the server? I've encountered at least one
incident where (on a fresh install) localhost only resolved to an IPv6 address
and not to 127.0.0.1 - with the result that trying to ping localhost on IPv4
didn't work, but other hosts (resolved by DNS) did work.
