I have run into this countless times. The 'easiest' way to fix this is to
set your hostname back to localhost, run the scripts/mysql_install_db, then
change your hostname back to whatever you need it to be. I don't understand
why it happens, I just know that is the 'easiest' way to fix it.

Ok, I am going about this as I normally have umpting times
# scripts/mysql_install_db
and I get
Neither host 'isdesign.isdesigndev.com' and 'localhost' could not be
looked up with
./bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
