https://bbs.archlinux.org – Thanks, moetunes! My /etc/hostname has already been set to mybox .## /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names##<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain    localhost# End of fileThis should be correct. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Could /etc/hosts be innocent, after all? What else can be relevant? Llama https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=15123 2012-11-24T09:18:31Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to No connection to localhost

On CentOS (5.x) I have a VPS that has hostname set to "olddomain.com", at least this is the domain I am getting when typing "hostname" command.

I want to change it to 'localhost.localdomain' because I think it is more generic and reliable.

localhost.localdomain already exists in these files: /etc/sysconfig/network AND /etc/hosts

NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=no HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain G

Linux terminal showing hostname dhcppc4 that i never configured.

@ghen, you are right about this.  But when I have seen this fudging things up, it usually ends up the hostname being the comment (in this case #hostname).  Do you think that it is actually setting it as a blank line?
