Thanks Benjamin, I really have no clue what the problem is with localhost...
OK, I made it to the step where I run sudo /etc/init.d/opennms start command
but it fails, here's part of the log:
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException: Could not lookup the
host name for the local host machine: java.net.UnknownHostException: localhost:
localhost
Does this mean I have to change the lookup value in poller-configuration.xml so
instead of localhost it points to the IP address?
Please help :-)
Thanks!
