KB#00262-Cannot start the Data Server due to a 'gethostbyname failure'
Title:
Cannot start the Data Server due to a 'gethostbyname failure'
Description:
The 'get host by name failure' message may occur when starting the Data Server. When invoked, the Data Server issues a hostname command in order to find out what machine it's running on. If this isn't defined at the system level, the Data Server will not start.
Resolution:
Ensure that the operating system command 'hostname' will return the proper information. If it does not, please contact your system administrator.
Note: The following command will automatically check the output of $hostname against the /etc/hosts file.
grep `hostname` /etc/hosts
