It means that your system, outside of OpenNMS and PostgreSQL is missing a host entry for "localhost" which will cause all kinds of unusual issues even if opennms and postgresql were not installed. You should really fix your /etc/hosts file to have a localhost entry. Mine looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost Then you can undo all of the weird localhost-related changes you've made, and it will all work. ;) As an aside, this isn't really a development issue, it's a configuration issue, it would be more suited for the opennms-discuss list in the future. -- Benjamin Reed The OpenNMS Group http://www.opennms.org/
