# # SuSEconfig can do some checks and modifications in /etc/hosts. # If this is not wanted, set the following variable to 'no' (yes/no). # CHECK_ETC_HOSTS="no" WBR, Sergey Marist EDU <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 27.10.2003 15:36 Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: WAS 4 on SLES7 under z/vm localhost problem I just used the YAST2 Online update tool to install the latest patches on our instances running WAS. After the install I discovered Websphere wouldn't start. After some newsgroup searching I found that the problem was due to the fact that localhost resolved to 127.0.0.1 instead of the "external" ip of the instance. I edited the /etc/hosts file to fix this and websphere then started. Problem is that everytime SuSEconfig is ran my changes to the /etc/hosts file are lost. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to keep this problem from happening. Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Technical Research Specialist .~.
