The solution is to add a line in your "/etc/hosts" file.

My computer is Nelly, and i'm doing localhosting sooo:

Code:
127.0.0.1 nelly.local. nelly

The format is:

[ipaddress] [longname] [shortname]

Obviously without the brackets.

create /etc/nodename
one single entry: the hostname

inside the /etc/hosts
ip.ip.ip.ip hostname hostname. <------ put this "."
