What is in /etc/hosts file? My server named tuvok has this: bash-2.04$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.icarz.com localhost 207.99.22.16 tuvok.icarz.com tuvok 207.99.22.16 tuvok.icarz.com. bash-2.04$ Your machine needs a name, there are examples in /etc/hosts. I would also recommend a good system administration book like: Unix System Administration Handbook from Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-020601-6 Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "zosen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ken Menzel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 9:30 AM Subject: Re: Help!!!I can not make mysql on freebsd 4.3 ??? > Hi!Ken Menzel > I try to initialize my datebase.but it output as the below.What's the matter?? > > DateTest# ./mysql_install_db > Sorry, the host 'DateTest' could not be looked up. > Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname. > If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with > the --force option > DateTest# > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
