Unable to connect to localhost in Debian 6?
Hello Everyone,

I have unable to run the default server with localhost in my Debian machine. While trying to run Django I get:
Code:
Error: That IP address can't be assigned-to.

error
While trying to run galaxy-dist I get this error:
Code:
socket.error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address

I can't telnet or ping localhost(127.0.0.1)
My /etc/hosts file looks like this:
Code:
127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	sachitad.localdomain	sachitad 
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

How can I solve this issue? Thanks

Your loopback is not up. You need to have something like the following
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

in your /etc/network/interfaces.
