etc host entry problem
Dear Members,

My app server is running in sun solaris. When i am trying to invoke another application running in a different m/c by calling its ip aa.bb.cc.dd , i am succeeding.

But, when i maintain the same ip in etc host and try to invoke the application using the host name, it is failing.

etc host entry: aa.bb.cc.dd appname

Please suggest what could be the problem.

Regards,
Kandy

check /etc/nsswitch.conf, should have the following:
Code:
hosts:      files dns
ipnodes:   files dns

Also check that your syntax in /etc/hosts is correct. Do you get an error message in the system log and/or the application which does the hostname lookup?

Please post your /etc/hosts so we can look at it.

Hi,

which version of solaris y use? /etc/inet/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes are 1 file or 2 different files? if it 2 files make the same entry in ipnodes .

use `arp appname` to check the IP.
