Dear Friends,
I have a query having a lengthy desrciption, so please bear with me.
When I first installed RH 9.0 on my machine I had no braodband
connection and everything including the
HTTPD and SendMail were working fine.
In the Network Configuration Hosts tab, I had localhost.localdomain
as one of the hosts and its IP was
127.0.0.1. There was a corresponding entry in the DNS tab.
Some time back I had broadband and the installation guy had to change
the DNS and Host settings. He
changed the localhost.localdomain to Iqara with the respective
primary and secondary DNS. This was done on the
DNS and Hosts tab of the Network Configuration dialog box. With this
what happened is that I am able
to connect to the internet, but my SendMail program hangs. My HTTPD
server also does not function
properly.
Any solution you can suggest so that I am able to use my internet and
also do PHP programming using
HTTPD and sendmail.
Hello,
The localhost.localdomain entry is required for many program for proper
functioning and senamil and httpd are quite particular about that.
One of the solution is to add that entry back. You can have multiple
names for the host. So instead of replacing localhost.localdomain, you
can just add a new host name there.
I have not worked with the network gui in RHL 9 for quite some time now
and cannot seem to remember how you can do it via GUI. But the way I
prefer is open the file /etc/hosts in gedit/kedit (text editor) and add
the hostname there. So generally the 127.0.0.1 line is:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
change it to
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost iquara
This should work.
