Leopard Difficulties...Solved (I hope)

[Jerry LeVan]

Hi,
It appears that doing an upgrade was the main problem...

Here is my current /etc/hosts file:

bash-3.2# cat /etc/hosts
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1	localhost
255.255.255.255	broadcasthost
192.168.1.1	router
192.168.1.10	macjerry
192.168.1.20	ereader
192.168.1.40	laser
192.168.1.50	vpc
192.168.1.60	jerrypc
192.168.1.70	linuxbox
192.168.1.80	mbp
192.168.1.90	server
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0	localhost

This is my original file except for the last line :)

The error messages had a ipv6 smell so I browsed /etc and
found the file hosts.system_default

bash-3.2# cat hosts.system_default
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1	localhost
255.255.255.255	broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0	localhost

I don't understand ipv6 but adding the last line of the
above to /etc/hosts cleared the httpd error messages
in system.log

Hope this helps someone...
