CafeX Fusion Application Server is built on the JBoss application server. JBoss requires that the hostname of the host is resolvable. This article explains how to make sure that is the case.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS ANYWHERE IN YOUR HOSTNAME!
"."
"_"
Step 1. Check if hostname is resolvable
This can be done with a combination of the ping and hostname commands as follows:
# hostname
training
# ping `hostname`
ping: unknown host training
Note the use of back quotes in the ping command above to substitute the output of the hostname command as an argument for the ping command.
Step 2. Add entry to /etc/hosts for hostname
To get the IP address of the host use the ifconfig command. Note that there might be multiple interfaces each with its own IP address. It should not matter which one you chose.
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:A7:33:99
inet addr:192.168.56.250 Bcast:192.168.56.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fea7:3399/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:142796 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:29438 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:180062646 (171.7 MiB) TX bytes:5724444 (5.4 MiB)
The IP address from the above example is 192.168.56.250. Add an entry in the /etc/hosts file so that it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.56.250 training
Step 3. Check if hostname is resolvable
# ping `hostname`
PING training (192.168.56.250) 56(84) bytes of data.

Ctrl-c to stop the ping command.
