Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Unable to connect to the NameServer on the local machine
Can connect to the NameServer remotely
NameServer process starts, but will not register with adminserver
Error: Unable to connect to Progress AdminServer using rmi://localhost:20931/Chimera (8287)
Unable to find NS1 (8281)
Pinging localhost returns an address other than 127.0.0.1
/etc/hosts has the correct loopback mapping.
CAUSE:
Within the Ubroker.properties file, the Progress NameServer (NS1) is, by default, being started on the localhost. A loopback address is expected. Problems arise when localhost is mapped to a non loopback address. The machine is getting it's localhost address from another server based upon entries in the /etc/resolv.conf file.
FIX:
Locate and add the following entry in the /etc
etsvc.conf file:
hosts=local,bind
This will force the machine to look into it's own /etc/host file first to resolve it's naming needs.
