I'm trying to set up a postgresql server on FC2, and it seems that the server is unable to look up 127.0.0.1. Further investigation shows that dig is unable to return anything for localhost or a reverse lookup for 127.0.0.1. /etc/hosts has an entry for 127.0.0.1 pointing to localhost and localhost.localdomain. Am I missing something? Relevant sections of configuration files follow: /etc/nsswitch.conf contains this line: hosts: files dns /etc/hosts contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain I apologize if this has been double posted, it appears that the initial post didn't take, as I was not yet signed up on the list.
